Hypnosis can help you feel better mentally and emotionally


Hypnosis has many benefits for cancer patients.

It’s been shown to help reduce anxiety, enhance coping and even reduce your perception of pain.

RESEARCH PUBLICATION

Pain

Hypnosis has demonstrated positive outcomes for the reduction of chronic and procedural-related pain in oncology.

Fatigue

Results show that with the cognitive-behavioral/hypnosis intervention, patients’ fatigue did not increase over the course treatment, whereas fatigue among patients receiving standard care increased linearly.

Sleep

At the conclusion of the 5-week treatment period, not only did cancer patients report fewer hot flash related daily disturbances, but they also reported significant improvements in sleep quality, as well as fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression.

This study provides an example of how hypnosis may be effective at treating a target symptom and improving the patient’s overall quality of life.
