Pre and Post Surgery Hypnosis - Online Certification Course

Presented By: Lisa Machenberg, CCHt

Cutting Edge Service in Hypnotherapy

Hypnotizing women undergoing breast cancer surgery could speed their recovery and reduce the odds of the disease returning. Using a combination of hypnotism and local anesthetic to put patients under also allows quicker discharge from hospital and leaves patients more satisfied overall.

These are the recommendations from Belgian anesthetists who already routinely put patients having breast and thyroid operations in pain-relieving trances.

There may be another important benefit to cancer patients. Professor Fabienne Roelants, of the Universite Catholique de Louvain, or UCL, in Brussels, said: “In addition to reducing drug use and hospital stay time, being able to avoid general anesthesia in breast cancer surgery is important because we know that local anesthesia can block the body's stress response to surgery and therefore reduce the possible spread (of the tumor).”

Professor Roelants says, “There is still a lot of debate around the exact mechanism that allows hypnosis to reduce pain perception, but what it absolutely clear is that it does so. The result is that one third of thyroidectomies and a quarter of all breast cancer surgery carried out at the UCL hospitals are performed under local anesthetic with the patient under hypnosis.”

I really enjoyed this class. I loved the way Lisa taught us how to actually write a script step-by-step and gave us tons of suggestions to use. This was by far one of the best classes I have taken and feel much better now on how to create a script from scratch.

I enjoyed the course very much. In 1971 I gave birth to my son with aid from my doctor and the self-hypnosis he had taught me since I was a teenager for menstrual cramps. I know it works and enjoyed learning so much more in your online course here.

I enjoyed this course, there was so much great information. Definitely enjoyed watching the therapy session with Reed. Absolutely loved his positive attitude and just his outlook on life at his age. The information in the therapy session with Taryn, to spell out the client's name to count them out of hypnosis when you have associated numbers in hypnosis with discomfort/pain, was great information.

I learned a lot from Lisa who is brilliant at hypnosis. Would like to see a class on hypnosis instead of anaesthesia [for those who have had adverse reactions and cannot have anaesthesia, for example] as well as this class that is on hypnosis along with anaesthesia in procedures.

If we systematically implemented hypnotherapy into our perioperative care and taught our perioperative teams the language principles in this course, we would likely see better outcomes and decreased costs. I have used what I learned in this course and have seen the benefit - from in-office procedures to major surgeries done in the hospital.

This was an excellent class. I can definitely use all the knowledge I gained from this class to help a couple of my clients that are going to have surgery soon. I am so glad I took this class. I also learned not to use numbers for waking up the clients from hypnosis if they are experiencing pain.
