Living in this modern era means we have an effective panoply of pharmaceuticals which work their wonders, so that is rarer to see patients who cannot cope with treatment as an out-patient. Still, the most nerve wracking moments are dealing with uncertainty…from the outset during staging investigations when ‘curative options’ hang in the balance, to wondering how you will cope, anticipating the results of each scan, and pondering what the future may bring.
It is a rollercoaster of an emotional ride. Good days and bad. Trying to stay in control of events. Often it is the ‘slippery slope’ of extrapolating the worst possible scenarios which can upset us, and the ‘not knowing’ what lies ahead which can provoke panic and anxiety. Suddenly having to deal with a cascade of disruption in our lives, integrating investigations and treatments around other necessary activities, is a real challenge both organisationally and psychologically.
Patients often ask me “what more can I do to help myself”, and alongside my advice to ‘try and recruit help and support from family members, stay nourished, and comply with treatment recommendations and alert your team of setbacks’, I now introduce ‘Learn self-hypnosis’ to them.
There remains quite a lot of misconception about what it is….and many a witty reply includes references to stage demonstrations and chickens! Clinical hypnosis in a medical setting, however, is no poultry matter!!! It can be transformative in ways that no other medical management can achieve, in my experience. We hope you will be able to use these ‘audio tools’ at every juncture of your journey to recovery. Even if your cancer cannot be eradicated, self-hypnosis will help you live more comfortably and calmly, and who knows, you may surprise your medical team’s prognostications!
