The Woman Who Rewrote Her Nightmares

How Hypnosis Helped a PTSD Survivor Find Peace While She Slept Most people have never heard of her. She never appeared on a talk show or wrote a memoir. But in 1991, a 32-year-old ICU nurse named “Marina" became the subject of an unusual case report at a trauma clinic in…

For eight long months, a young nurse at Northwestern Memorial Hospital battled a cough no test could explain.
No infection. No allergies. No solution.

Her coworkers avoided taking a report from her. Medications failed. Even specialists shrugged.
Then one doctor said the last thing she expected:
“This isn’t a lung problem… it's a habit loop your brain learned. And hypnosis can help.”

What happened next surprised everyone—including her.

In just three sessions, the cough that medicine couldn’t touch began to fade… and within two weeks, it was gone. Not suppressed. Not medicated. Retrained.

If you’ve ever struggled with a chronic symptom your body refuses to shut off—pain spikes, coughing, IBS flares, anxiety cycles—this story reveals why hypnosis works when nothing else does… and how your nervous system may be more changeable than you think.

If a nurse could retrain an eight-month cough,
What might your body be ready to release?

By Steve Cohen, RN, Healthcare Hypnosis Practitioner The Nurse Who Couldn't Stop Coughing In the late 1970s, a young nurse at Northwestern Memorial Hospital developed a mysterious, relentless cough. No infection. No asthma. No allergies. No physiological explanation. Her cough was so disruptive that...

A young man named Ethan had lived his entire life terrified of blood and needles—so much that he fainted during medical visits and avoided routine care. After years of trying to “talk himself out of it,” nothing worked… until one hypnosis session changed everything.

Guided into a relaxed, focused state, Ethan learned to reframe his fear on a subconscious level. The needle that once symbolized danger became neutral. His body’s panic response quieted. At his next medical appointment, he remained calm—no anxiety, no fainting.

Clinical hypnosis works by helping the mind replace fear-based patterns with calm associations—an approach supported by leading research institutions like Stanford and Harvard.

Millions silently struggle with fears that interfere with medical care. Ethan’s story is a reminder that relief can come faster than many expect—sometimes in just one session.

Curious how hypnosis can support medical or emotional healing?
Your body listens to every thought you think. Maybe it’s time to start thinking in your favor.

𝑯𝒚𝒑𝒏𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑭𝒊𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒚𝒂𝒍𝒈𝒊𝒂: 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒄 𝑷𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝑺𝒖𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒓𝒔

For many living with fibromyalgia, every day can feel like a storm that never stops. Traditional treatments may help manage symptoms, but they often fail to restore comfort, confidence, or control.

In this week's feature from Medvesta Hypnosis Healthcare, we share the story of Laura, a teacher who turned to clinical hypnosis after years of relentless pain. Through guided imagery, deep relaxation, and mindful reframing, she discovered something remarkable. While the pain did not vanish overnight, it no longer ruled her life.

Modern research supports her experience. Studies using brain imaging show that hypnosis can alter the way the nervous system processes pain, helping patients reduce intensity, improve sleep, and enhance emotional well-being. For those who feel that “nothing works,” hypnosis offers a fresh, science-backed path to healing—one that begins by teaching the mind to listen differently to the body.

At Medvesta Hypnosis Healthcare, our mission is to help clients rediscover balance, resilience, and relief through compassionate, evidence-informed hypnosis sessions tailored to medical and mental health needs.

What if true relief begins not by fighting pain—but by befriending the body again?

How Deep Relaxation Techniques Helped a Woman Reduce Widespread Pain When “Laura,” a 43-year-old teacher and mother of two, was first diagnosed with fibromyalgia, she described her pain as “a storm that never stops.” Each day felt unpredictable, with aching muscles, burning sensations, and d...

How to Protect Your Body From Your Own Destructive Thoughts

What if the same mind that feels pain could also help heal it?
Long before the first clinical trials confirmed it, a quiet revolution was already unfolding in hospital rooms and burn units: patients learning to think their way toward recovery.

This is not wishful thinking; it is a measurable medicine. The story of a young burn survivor named Patricia reveals how hypnosis, once dismissed as stage trickery, is now emerging as one of medicine's most surprising allies in pain control and tissue
healing.

In 1998, Patricia, a 21-year-old laboratory technician in training, suffered second- and third-degree burns over her arms and torso after an explosion in her chemistry lab. Morphine dulled the edge of her agony but did not touch the waves of panic that came every time her dressings were changed. Aft...

A surprising story of science, self-regulation, and relief.

If you have ever wondered whether the mind can influence the body in measurable, medical ways, this story will change how you think about healing.

In this week's feature, I share a little-known case of a woman whose severe menopause symptoms disappeared almost overnight but not from medication, but through a carefully guided hypnosis process.

You’ll discover how modern medical hypnosis taps into the body’s built-in capacity for balance and how it’s being used today in clinics to reduce pain, calm anxiety, improve sleep, and restore quality of life for countless patients.

It's a story of comfort, courage, and the quiet science of mind-body connection.

Because healing is not about medicine; it's about how you think, feel, and respond from within.

I wanted to share something inspiring from my recent work with hypnosis and chronic fatigue.

Many people think of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as an incurable mystery—but new approaches are showing that fatigue isn’t just physical depletion; it’s often a mind–body imbalance that can be reset from within.

In a recent case, a nurse named Anna came to me after years of exhaustion so deep she could barely make it through her workday. After several hypnosis sessions, she learned to calm her nervous system, retrain her stress response, and literally “recharge” from the inside out. Within weeks, her energy began to return—naturally.

This story is not about miracles; it’s about science.

Hypnosis helps restore the body's rest-and-repair system, allowing the brain and body to finally work together again. For many, that means better sleep, less pain, and the return of something they thought they had lost: hope.

If you or someone you know has been living in that fog of exhaustion, this may offer a new path forward.

Imagine Your Possibilities

Medvesta Hypnosis began when a Registered Nurse was sent to visit a terminal ill 80-year-old cancer patient at home with a final life sentence of less than a month. The nurse had knowledge of hypnosis techniques and realized the patient was having more adverse effects from the treatment of cancer than the actual illness. The nurse began to teach the patient visualization skills seeing the gastrointestinal tract as a river flowing. The flow of the river was blocked but not from a tumor but from an obstruction caused by his medications. The patient was taught even more about food, fluids, movement, medication usage and side effects, and of course self-hypnosis. That patient did eventually pass on not within a month as prescribed but eight months later in the following year from heart failure.

That following year the nurse had another terminally ill patient with primary sclerosing cholangitis, a rare liver disease. This bed-bound patient was also taught self-hypnosis seeing himself with muscular legs once again running on a football field. He was taught that the definition of no movement was called death. So he was trained to keep moving even while in bed. The bed-bound patient never walked onto a football field again, he did walk to his own bathroom independently. Though he also eventually passed, he gave himself more life than other professionals gave him hope.

These two people inspired Medvesta Hypnosis to become a reality. The nurse became a mentor using his knowledge in healthcare and hypnosis techniques to allow people with mental and physical pain to give themselves more potential to live better lives.
