Paul W Howard questioned:

For any person that does not have the condition Psoriasis it would seem ludicrous to suggest that they deserve to endure from this condition. But, during the examine I conducted on the effects of Hypnotherapy upon Psoriasis, this is one of the core beliefs that I learned a Psoriasis sufferer has.

What is Psoriasis? Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition. There are nine types, each with unique signs and symptoms. Tablet Psoriasis is the most common type of Psoriasis and the only one so far that I have been able to affect. About 80% of people who develop psoriasis have tablet psoriasis, which looks like patches of raised, ruddy skin covered by opaque scales. These patches, or plaques, often form on the elbows, knees, scalp and lower back. But, the plaques can occur anywhere on the body.

Researchers believe that psoriasis is an immune-mediated condition. This earnings the condition is caused by faulty signals in the body’s immune system. It is believed that psoriasis develops when the immune system tells the body to over-react and accelerate the growth of skin cells. Normally skin cells mature and are shed from the skin’s surface every 28 to 30 days. When psoriasis develops, the skin cells mature in 3 to 6 days and go to the skin surface. As a replacement for of life shed, the skin cells pile up, causing the visible lesions. It is my belief that by using Hypnotherapy what the client is able to do is to assess those faulty signals. There is excellent evidence to show that Hypnotherapy can have a noteworthy effect on Psoriasis.

Psoriasis usually causes discomfort. The skin often itches, and it may crack and bleed. In severe cases, the itching and discomfort may keep a person awake at night, and the pain can make everyday tasks hard.

In my previous article “Psoriasis an mad man’s game” I described the examine, the results and another trait common to a Psoriasis client, rage. But in this article I want to discuss a common belief amongst Psoriasis clients and that is that “I’m not excellent enough”. This is a common belief that virtually all Psoriasis clients, which I have worked with over the years, have. They believe, deep down at a sub-conscious level, for one reason or another, that they have done something ill-treat. This develops into a belief that “I’m not excellent enough”, which is ultimately translated into the belief that they deserve the condition. To an outsider looking in this would appear to be bizarre. But, consider the small child, say a five year ancient girl, whose parents split up and her daddy is suddenly taken away. What does that child reckon? It’s a honest bet that she will be very upset and in trying to know what has happened to her world, (given her limited understanding of the world and its complexities), she may feel that SHE has done something ill-treat, which is why daddy left. In turn, this leads to feelings of guilt and low self-worth. Therefore, the “I’m not excellent enough” syndrome is born.

 Psoriasis will often develop after an event like this. Of course it then follows on quite naturally for the child to link the two collectively to come to an even larger fictitious belief that because she wasn’t ‘excellent enough’ God, Father Christmas or whoever, gave her this horrible scaly, itchy skin. Now, most adults would of course dismiss this belief structure. But we are talking about a small child with very limited processing capability; to her it’s a straightforward cause and effect, “I deserve it and here it is!”

Okay, so now this child has the belief, what happens as she grows? Does her self-worth improve? It’s very unlikely! What would you expect to happen when she’s at school doing PE with scales on her elbows or in her hair? Do you imagine the other family will know and give her positive encouragement? Of course not! Names like scabby and snakeskin make her feel more ashamed and lecture her to hide it away, dropping her self worth even lower. This will take up again for the rest of her life unless a name steps in and tells her hidden mind to “STOP” these destructive thought processes, and starts the reversal of the cycle so that the healing may start.

Many people are unaware of the automatic functions of the hidden mind. This simply earnings that if a process is repeated often enough, nearly irrespective of the outcome, this ‘thinking’ develops into an automatic process. This is because the hidden mind does not have a vital factor, which earnings that it does not interrogate behaviour or thinking to establish whether or not it is beneficial to the client.

Hypnotherapy is really the most direct and influential way of varying hidden thinking; within therapy patterns thinking and behaviour can be improved to facilitate beneficial resolutions. Often this process is both surprising to, and effortless for, the client.

A belief in the benefits of Hypnotherapy is not necessary in order to change behaviour. Many clients that I have dealt with have any been unable to know the link between the way we reckon and the way our body responds, or tend to reckon of ‘hypnosis’ as life something they have seen on television, which has no relevance to them. Hypnotherapy works independently and separately from a client’s vital intellectual assessment, which often comes as a ‘huge surprise’.

Louise Forrest questioned:

If you are suffering from psoriasis then you have a skin condition that is common certain areas of the body such as the elbows, knees and also the face.

A huge population really suffers from this condition and research has shown that it is not that common amongst people who have dark skin compared to those that have a fairer complexion.

Even though psoriasis is a condition that has been present for many hundreds of years it is still not very well understood, and so this can make treating psoriasis a challenge but not impossible.

It is really quite hard to discuss about a cure for psoriasis at the present second in time, simply because one does not exist. There are but some effective treatments that do help to keep the flare ups away from appearing for months and even years, but there is always a high chance that these will rematerialize at a future date. The aptly steps do need to be taken when it comes to treating psoriasis and it is often wise to pay a visit to the doctor in order to determine a treatment plot which will be based on the severity.

One other thing that needs to be mentioned is that psoriasis does not just affect the skin but can affect a person on an emotional level. If it is a child who is suffering from psoriasis then this can be quite hard as there is quite likely to be an element of bullying from other school family.

There are three different types of treatments that are available for treating psoriasis such as creams and lotions, the use of set alight therapy and also innumerable alternative treatments that can also be used to help treat the condition.

There is also the possibility of using steroid based treatments to be able to treat the condition but this needs to be done under the guidance of a doctor and this needs to only be done if the case is very severe indeed.

The best type of products that you can use to treat psoriasis is to use products that are naturally based and contain only plant extracts and essential oils. These are much kinder to the skin and do not cause any further irritation which can be a common problem amongst ordinary creams and lotions that are available.

Given that the skin is mainly dry it is vital that your products that are hydrating for the skin and that will not lead to any dryness. So make sure that you are reading the ingredients list and that none of the products that you are using are containing alcohol.

People are really now in quest of alternative therapies in order to help treat their psoriasis because they are being paid frustrated with the products that they are using that are not delivering any results of any kind. Some of the alternative treatments contain that of yoga and also making sure that the diet is also that of a natural and rich one. This will involve eating foods in their raw state in order to help boost the immune system, as there is some suggestion that a weak immune system is a reason for a person to have psoriasis.

Hilldabeast questioned:


I have suffered from psoriasis my total life. When I was small it started on the back of my leg and worked it way up my thigh. As I got grown-up, It started to spred more. Id get patches on my knees or elbows and it was nothing that creams or topical treatments wouldnt cure…

The grown-up im being paid the worse its be converted into.. Its now covering about 80% of my body and not only is it physically discomforting, Its also affecting me mentally. The stares and questions from people who are unfamiliar with this illness makes me feel like I am something that stepped out of a horror movie..

Its hard to deal with because besides my psoriasis I am a very pretty 21 year ancient. I cant wear bathing suits or even shorts, and events like tonight, when my brother graduates high school, Im going to be wearing a long sleeved shirt in 90 degree weather.
I would really like to know if a name knew a home remedy or something inexpensive that would reduce the appearence of my “blotches”. I dont have medical insurance, so a trip to the dermatologist is pretty much out of the question. Ive also tried the tanning bed, but have found that the skin under my psoriasis becomes burnt and makes my even dryer than before.. Im willing to try anything..

Im using some over the counter treatment called Psoriasin, but no luck with it yet. Also ive been using things like, Selson Blue as body wash..

Any help would be Momentously appreciated!
Ive tried the Enbrel treatment, and was on it for 6 months. It worked somewhat, but even with insurance, I was paying over $200 a month, and the price without it is like $1500 a month.. Cant handle that….

Specsy questioned:


My partner has suffered from tablet psoriasis continuously for over 20 years. He has large, red, scaly patches that don’t itch and it has never gone into remission. He has read recently that it would be normal for it sometimes to go into remission so he’s surprised that it never has. He does endure from a lot of stress and very high blood pressure for which he’s on medication. He says he’s tried a lot of different things that didn’t work and he uses sea salt in the bath and small bars of black soap. I help him exfoliate the patches in the bath as it’s all over his back as well. Myself, I’ve noticed a patch on his back that’s diminishing and I can see healthy skin appearing. The patches appear darker, more red and “mad” on his forearms and knees.

Does anyone have any advice please? He eats meat -the only veg he’ll eat is broccoli, cauliflower and sweetcorn. I’m convinced it’s caused by stress and the miserable legacy of the last 20 years or more (we met last year).
