Summary

This audiobook contains everything that patients need to help them prepare for and recover from surgery they are about to undergo.

Forty years of research has shown that patients who are psychologically prepared for surgery have vastly improved outcomes. It has all been shown that self-hypnosis, when used in addition to anesthesia, can decrease anxiety and pain and hasten healing.

Hypnotically prepared patients are shown to have shorter hospital stays, less post-operative pain and nausea, need fewer pain medications, and suffer less anxiety and blood loss than patients who receive routine care.

The techniques used combine imagination with building belief and expectation to create a safe, gentle, and effective way to reduce stress and relieve pain. They allow the patient to tap into their own inner resources so that they are in the best frame of mind for surgery. This results in less pre-operative anxiety, less post-operative discomfort, and faster healing.

This audiobook contains two parts: one to listen to before having surgery to reduce stress and anxiety and to sow the seeds of rapid recovery and another to listen to after surgery to further promote healing and recovery.
