Psoriasis Defined

Hypnotherapy helps reduce stress, anxiety and depression which are key contributors to psoriasis flair-ups. Management of your feelings and having a strategy on how to combat stress is a strategy for living with psoriasis. Meridian Peak Hypnosis works with clients worldwide.
Psoriasis is an uncomfortable, sometimes painful skin condition that forms thick, red, bumpy patches covered by silvery scales. Psoriasis can pop up anywhere in the body, but most commonly appear on the scalp, elbows, knees and lower back. Psoriasis can vary in severity from small and localized to complete body coverage. There are five main types:
• Plaque psoriasis – the most common, about 90% of all cases – includes red patches with white scales on top, commonly on the back of the forearms, shins, around the navel and scalp.
• Guttate psoriasis – drop shaped lesions on the skin
• Pustular psoriasis – small non-infectious pus-filled blisters
• Inverse psoriasis – red patches in skin folds
• Erythrodermic psoriasis – the rash becomes very wide spread, including forming in fingernails and toenails, causing changes in nail color
Psoriasis is generally thought of to be genetic, but is triggered by environmental factors and psychological stress. Psoriasis is not contagious, but is associated with an increase of arthritis, lymphoma, cardiovascular disease, Crohn’s disease and depression.
Decreasing Stress, Anxiety and Depression Can Help Psoriasis Conditions Improve
Stress, anxiety and depression management can help keep psoriasis under control. Inflammation is the body’s way to cope with stress, making less stress a way to keep inflammation down. Stress/anxiety/depression management is a very important life skill for those with psoriasis.
Hypnosis works with your subconscious mind where stress/anxiety/depression resides
Hypnosis is a powerful tool for change because it works directly with your subconscious mind. This is the area of your mind that holds on to feelings, memories, unresolved issues and more. Everything we do on a daily basis is the conscious mind, but the subconscious mind regulates automated responses, feelings and reactions which are also manifested physically on the skin level.
We have seen in our office over the years our clients with psoriasis see an improvement in their condition as a result of stress, anxiety and depression symptoms improving.
