Pre Surgical Hypnosis

With reference to Hypno Dave's comment on his client being stressed about cataract surgery - I had the same proceedure three years ago on my left eye.

The proceedure occured here in France. My eye surgeon realised I had a background in hypnosis and brought up the subject of the early work of James Braid. We then discussed the option of being totally or partially anethetised - asleep or awake during the proceedure.

I then took the opportunity to ask if it might be possible for me to undergo the proceedure using self hypnosis. Both he and the anesthetist agreed on the basis that she monitor me and medicate if necessary.

I was fully awake throughout the proceedure and in constant communication both with my surgeon and the anesthetist. I must admit it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life watching this delicate operation from the inside out and seeing the old lens being removed and replaced with the synthetic ocular lens.

I always bring along my "Relaxing Through Your MRI" hypnosis CD. I just give it to the tech at the console & they pipe it in. I now keep it on display in the orthopedists office my husband and I share. I made it for myself years ago during painful knee surgery stuff. I was getting more & more claustrophobic over the years and having a hard time stay still because of the pain also. The CD is volume controlled to override the sound of the magnets clanging while also utilizing the sound of the magnets. It focuses on stillness and relaxation. Nothing worse than moving & they have to send you through the machine again.
Recently needed a breast MRI & the speaker system was broken. Face down & head first was certainly a challenge mentally but years of practice made it easier even without the CD playing

I had an MRI last friday, and have extreme discomfort in tight areas...... As I entered the machine, I had heart palpitations, sweaty palms, felt sick....almost pushed the button to be taken back out, but refused to give in to the panic. I pulled up the Sandy Beach ( Ormand McGill) from memory and was FINE. I actually talked to the nurse about having a couple of CD's available for others who have problems with claustrophobia.....dropping off a couple of MY recordings tomorrow.

Hello all! I have been preparing to do a pre surgery hypnosis session with a client that is going in the morning for cataract surgery on one eye. The operation involves removing the occluded lens and replacing it with a synthetic inner ocular lens.

The surgeon has a good reputation and the procedure has a high rate of success. None the less it is not a 100% guarantee and my client, a 65 year old male is very nervous about it.

My session with him will focus (no pun intended) on him gaining and maintaining composure, not only accepting but welcoming the process. and mentally assisting complete recovery without discomfort.

I will report on his progress and effects of the hypnosis.

As a nurse, I am also interested in using hypnosis prior to MRI's for those who are claustrophic. I think it would save the hospitals, patients and insurance companies lots of money by relaxing patients rather than medicating and recovering them. Glad I found this group! Linda

Hi Michael
Have you tried the script bank?

Do you - or anyone else here - have a good source of key scripts and techniques I can study and become thoroughly acquainted with in pre-surgery hypnosis?

I will look forward to learning from your knowledge. Thank you for sharing it!

This is a great group and I would love to learn more about pre surgery hypnosis. Also how does one go about contacting doctors for this kind of thing.
