Hi, a client recently asked me if hypnotherapy or Havening (two techniques I use to help clients with anger, anxiety, etc) help with dementia or Alzheimers.
I've hunted around for research and found very little (Dr Nightingale/Dr Duff in 2007 has some great results).
My Googling also found an AgingCare forum from 2016, which is now closed. Comments also suggested there's just not much information out there.
I was wondering if anyone has found some useful information since?
My gut feeling would be that calming anyone's subconscious mind is likely to help them think and feel better, but I'd love to see research or your experiences...
I certainly wasn't suggesting dementia is not neurodegenerative, so I'm a little confused by the comments made.
The Duff/Nightingale research, which was measuring "Quality of Life" is summarised here: https://www.ecmmagonline.co.uk/contents/item/152231-hypnotherapy-in-dementia-care
