If you are scheduled for breast surgery (biopsy, lumpectomy or mastectomy) or you are undergoing treatment for breast cancer, hypnosis can help you. Using hypnotherapy in combination with your medical treatment will make you feel more empowered and in control of your care. The Sernekos Group uses hypnosis, as well as other complementary techniques, to help breast surgery and breast cancer patients maximize their wellness. Each session is tailored to the needs of the individual client. Hypnosis can help with the following issues:

Pre-Surgical Preparation

Studies have shown that people who prepare for surgery using hypnosis generally have fewer complications, heal faster and have less post-operative pain. Hypnosis will help you feel calm, relaxed and positive before, during and after surgery.

For pre-surgical preparation, two sessions are usually required. During the first session, you will be interviewed to determine your needs. You will also experience a full hypnosis session, during which the hypnotherapist will make positive suggestions regarding your surgery and its outcome. The second session will also include a full hypnosis session along with instructions on how to effectively manage pre-surgery stress.

You will also be given a CD to play before and immediately after surgery (and during surgery, if your surgeon permits). The CD will contain soothing music, relaxing imagery and positive suggestions to reassure you that your surgery will go smoothly and that your body will heal quickly.

Follow-Up Treatment If Cancer Is Detected

If you require follow-up radiation and/or chemotherapy, hypnosis can teach you how to feel more relaxed and manage your stress. A growing body of evidence suggests that the more you can reduce your stress level, the more resources your body has to fight the cancer.

In addition to relaxation, self-hypnosis and stress management techniques, you will be taught how to use mental imagery to encourage your immune system to work together with your medical therapies in order to maximize your treatment’s benifits.

Hypnosis can also help you feel good about your body again. If your therapies create side effects, including nausea, hypnosis can help you deal with those side effects.
