Bio: Daniel F. Cleary is an internationally-recognized Hypnosis Instructor, Pain Relief Educator and a Master Practitioner of NeuroLinguistics. He teaches hypnosis and hypnotic techniques throughout the United States and Europe to doctors, therapists and hypnotists. His specialties include pain relief and personal transformation.

Daniel is the founder and director of Hypnosis for Health Learning Center in North Palm Beach, Florida and is a founding member of the Transformation-All-Stars Team, a group providing advanced training in hypnotic techniques and related subjects. He is a regular member of the teaching faculty at many of the national and international hypnosis conferences and has provided specialized training for hypnotists, doctors and professional therapists since 1996. He has been a course director for Pain Week, an interdisciplinary medical conference since 2007, where his programs are approved for continuing medical education units.

Dan came to hypnosis as a sufferer of chronic pain. In 1978 he was partially paralyzed as the result of a motorcycle accident. The major injury sustained is referred to as a Brachial Plexus Avulsion, which in his case causes a burning, crushing sensation throughout his arm and hand in addition to the paralysis. For five years Daniel was unable to sleep as we generally understand sleep. He then learned hypnosis and within a week began sleeping more regularly. Since that time he has devoted himself to developing techniques and approaches for the relief of chronic conditions. While the chronic pain signals remain, Dan has learned to shift the discomfort and participate fully in life.

Many of his articles and hypnosis scripts have been published in the journals of national hypnosis organizations and other magazines. He is well known for specialty courses in Pain Relief, Hypnosis Certification, Personal Transformation and Comfortable ChildBirth. Dan is the author of the successful client guides:

• LITTLE BOOK OF CHANGE – a primer to hypnosis
• CHANGING PAIN – Relief is realistic

Daniel F. Cleary is a member of the: American Association of Professional Hypnotherapists, American Board of Hypnotherapy, International Hypnosis Federation, International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association, and the National Guild of Hypnotists.

Show Topic:Dan often starts his pain relief classes with the statement “Pain is not real!” This is a dramatic statement, often causing his students to perk up in their seats ready to disagree. Dan’s point about pain is very unique. Decades of of personal experience with chronic pain makes him uniquely qualified to talk about the nature of pain. In this interview Dan talks about how pain is nothing more than a signal and how relief is possible. Even though Dan’s expertise is with chronic pain, his point of view of how to achieve relief is useful to anyone who feels pain (aka all of us).
