Hypnosis is a real alternative to general anaesthesia; though not for any
case and any situation.
Dr. Rainer Weller especially uses hypnosis to fight fears. Fears are often
linked to any kind of unpleasant episode in the past. Sometimes we can and
sometimes we cannot remember the incident which was the trigger mechanism
for our fears. Hypnosis helps identify and bring these situations
into consciousness. Together with the therapist you can now find ways and
possibilities to cope with these feelings.
In general, hypnosis simply helps to relax and to make your visit as
pleasant as possible.
What is hypnosis?
"Hypnos" is the Greek word for "sleep". Hypnosis, thus, is a special form
of the waking state and state of consciousness.
Different perceptions of reality occur:
constriction of attentiveness
focussing on the therapist's voice
different body perception
different time perception
emotional relief
The unconscious is the center of attention. You are enabled to let go
of your fears, prejudices and deadlocked mindsets; you simply abandon
yourself to your emotional state.
What hypnosis is not?
On no account is medical hypnosis a state of spineless unconsciousness. You
cannot be persuaded to act against your will or do things which are
against your nature. Throughout the whole treatment you are in control of
the situation and you will remember everything that happened during the
session. What differs: The focus of your memories is shifted to emotions,
impressions or facts which seem to be less important in everyday life.
Hypnosis is no magic and won't evoke miracle healing. Hypnosis merely
supports your psychological well-being.
What can hypnosis achieve?
In the first place hypnosis intends to support relaxation and remove
unfounded fears. The professional and sensitive treatment with hypnosis
can definitely bring about improvement or recovery of phobia.
Hypnosis requires personal willingness. In case you do have this will or
merely would like to know more about this technique, please do not hesitate
to ask us for an individual consultation.
General anaesthesia?
As mentioned before, hypnosis cannot always offer a substitute to general
anaesthesia. Since many years we successfully collaborate with
anaesthetists Dr. med. Gerhard Girisch and Dr. med. Werner
Hattensberger. Their competence and experience assure our patients a
painless and stress-free treatment.
