Cancer Care & Hypnosis

Medical hypnosis is a science increasingly recognized for its therapeutic applications.  Applied to the comprehensive treatment of cancer, medical hypnosis offers unique possibilities due to its capacities for enhancing mind to body communication. 

Linda G. Statam of Hamptons Hypnosis, in conjunction with cancer support agencies on both the North and South Forks of Long Island, is now offering several workshops for both those coping with a cancer diagnosis and their caretakers, to aid in relief on all levels.    The workshops use techniques such as guided relaxation, creative visualization, meditation and self-hypnosis to address the following:

• Stress, fear and anticipatory worry.
• Pain management, both physical and emotional.
• Sleep.
• Surgical preparation…alleviating anticipatory worry before, during and after surgery
• Relief from side effects of treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation.

Workshops are conducted with small, intimate groups, lasting from 1 to 2 hours.  The general format is as follows:

• Introduction and discussion of topic
• Hypnotic session (15-25 minutes)
• Feedback
