Surgical and Dental Hypnosis

Discover the transformative power of hypnosis in medical and dental settings with our course, “Medical and Dental Hypnosis.” This course covers historical and contemporary applications, focusing on key concepts like the Esdaille state, somnambulism, and deep trance. Students will learn how these hypnotic states can manage pain and enhance patient care.

Starting with the Esdaille state, named after Dr. James Esdaile for its use in painless surgeries, the course explores somnambulism and deep trance, teaching effective induction techniques. These states are shown to significantly reduce pain perception and anxiety.

The course integrates current neuroscience research on pain management, explaining how hypnosis alters brain activity and pain pathways. Students will understand the neural mechanisms of pain perception and how hypnosis provides relief.

Combining lectures, practical demonstrations, and hands-on practice, participants will develop skills to apply hypnosis in medical and dental contexts. They will learn to create tailored hypnotic interventions for acute and chronic pain management. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the knowledge and techniques to enhance patient care through hypnosis.
