Auto-hypnosis : the best tool to unlock hidden potential
We know how much hypnosis can help people to keep comfort during a surgery or a painful care. But hypnosis is limited on two dimensions. First, hypnosis is usually used during the care but not before or after. And second, a lot of dentists or surgeons are not qualified in hypnosis, or don’t use hypnosis with all their patients.
For all these reasons, it is very interesting to teach auto-hypnosis to patients before a complex care.
You will see videos of one of my patients which had to be treated for a benign, but large, vesical tumor. I interviewed her a year after the surgery and 3 years after the surgery. She describes with her own words the 5 techniques I taught to her. If this part is very interesting, the most interesting is to hear her describing her motivation to succeed and her personal training before the surgery.
Furthermore, she describes another dimension : how she is been using auto-hypnosis in her own life since these 3 years. Sometimes for pain, but often to get calm and comfortable at work. She says how she discovered and amplified her own potential.
Her conclusions are very astonishing : she invites us to give our patients the opportunity to use auto-hypnosis and to transmit this skill for everybody.
