Anne Milligan works with a number of clients with muscular degenerative and other disorders, (including fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, multiple sclerosis, etc.), to decrease the experience of physical pain through the use of guided imagery, meditation, and biofeedback. Medical research has proven the effects of certain kinds of guided imagery on pain tolerance levels. After conducting a thorough assessment, Anne Milligan personally scripts the guided imagery sessions for each individual client and the positive results are numerous. Clients report improved sleep and enhanced mood states, along with significant reductions in the experience of physical pain. What is guided imagery? Quite simply, guided imagery uses the power of the human mind, through the imagination, to change how the body reacts to stress. For example, if right now you closed your eyes and thought of the most peaceful place you could ever be, a safe and beautiful place anywhere in the world, and you went there in your imagination and really got into the peaceful feelings of the place, your body wouldn't know any difference between your imagination and reality. Your pulse rate, your blood pressure and all the other ways your body responds to a beautiful and peaceful place would occur just by your deeply entering into the experience in your imagination. We can take that mind-body principle and use it for the alleviation of a variety of physical disorders, just by training the body to act (or react) differently. Biofeedback is used to assess the effectiveness of the treatment on the client's mind-body system. Anne Milligan became interested in this work initially as a Clinical Social Work therapist in Hospice and Homecare and over the years has refined her skills through experience and training.
