Synopsis

This 2 CD set contains everything you need to accompany any surgery you are undergoing. Forty years of research has shown that patients who are psychologically prepared for surgery have improved outcomes. Hypnosis, when used in addition to anesthesia, can decrease anxiety and pain and hasten healing. Hypnotically prepared patients have shorter hospital stays, have less post-operative pain and nausea, use fewer pain medications and suffer less anxiety and blood loss than patients who only receive routine care. The techniques used combine imagination with building belief and expectation to create a safe, gentle and effective way to reduce your stress and relieve your pain. They will allow you to tap into your own inner resources so you are in the best frame of mind for surgery. The initial CD reduces stress and anxiety pre-surgery and is followed by a post-surgery CD which promotes healing and recovery.
