Disorders are regarded as somatic in nature if the client is experiencing physical symptoms for which no cause can be found following medical consultation.
Symptoms may include some of the following:
Pain related to different parts of the body
Gastro-intestinal symptoms
Sexual symptoms not including pain
With these conditions a GP diagnosis is required as a therapist would not wish to mask any symptoms of a potential medical complaint.
Hypnotherapy is a very effective tool in this field, utilising particularly pain management, symptom reduction and coping strategies as well as stress reduction techniques.
