Hypnosis

The hypnosis program offered by our clinic is designed to be an integrated component of a patient's overall medical care.

Hypnosis allows patients to focus intently on a specific problem and its resolution while maintaining a comfortable state of physical relaxation. It also helps patients to enhance control over their body responses.

Hypnosis is a normal state of aroused, attentive and highly focused concentration - comparable to being so absorbed in a movie or novel that one loses awareness of his or her surroundings.

This program teaches patients self-hypnosis to help them deal with:

• Pain and physical symptom control
• Smoking control
• Addiction control
• Procedural anxiety management
• Medical treatment side effects such as nausea and vomiting
• Stress management
• Phobias
• Stress-related neurological problems

The number of sessions needed depends upon the response, goals and interests of the patient.
