Hypnotherapy: Not for Chickens

February 23, 2022 • Liz Treynor, MD

Denise Billen-Mejia worked for two decades as a clinician in Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine when catastrophic illness derailed her life. Now recovered but retired from clinical medicine, she shares the powerful gift of hypnosis with individual and group clients online all over the world.

Although most commonly thought of as entertainment, hypnosis is a powerful tool to empower patients in their therapy. Dr.Billen-Mejia actively seeks to educate physicians about hypnosis and encourage them to incorporate this in treatment plans. The techniques to relieve anxiety and improve sleep alone, can dramatically improve well-being and there is evidence for hypnosis use across a broad spectrum of disease.

She can be reached through her website www.aahypnosis.com and is happy to discuss hypnosis for yourself or incorporating it in medical practice.
