Rapid rapport and quick hypnotic technique

By Elvira Lang, MD and Eleanor Laser, PhD Published 2009

Arthur Shapiro Award winning book also available at Amazon.

Dr. Laser's book "Patient Sedation Without Medication" is a practical and insightful handbook for incorporating hypnosis into everyday patient scenarios. Her workshop takes the information even further. She gives clinicians valuable tools to provide better patient care. Dr. Laser's workshop is informative, fun and thought provoking. I loved her creativity with implementation of live visits and movies, great scripts and so much more. She challenges healthcare providers to think outside the box.

Communications skills to allay fear and anxiety and hypnosis for the procedure.

“I attended the Patient Sedation without Medication Seminar and it was wonderful! Eleanor is a great speaker and I picked up a ton of new ideas to use at our Endoscopy Center. The next week she came to our Center and talked to the entire staff and administration. She is very inspiring and we are beginning to use her techniques not only with staff members but also patients! I am so glad I had this opportunity and got to meet Elly in person!”

Dr. Eleanor Laser, Ph.D., who specializes in hypnotherapy, uses what she calls the "Sweet Tooth Extraction" technique to help those of us who are hopelessly, chronically addicted to sweets, kick the sugar carb habit no matter how low carb we eat.

Once an addict, always an addict, I say. It's all in how you manage your addiction, isn't it?

Dr. Elly helped me manage my chronic chocolate addiction by "extracting my sweet tooth!"

And I didn't go out of my way to "test it out" like Elly warned me not to do, either.

You have to build up your resolve while breaking that carb addiction. Both work hand in hand, and Dr. Elly's "Sweet Tooth Extraction" hypnotherapy technique works like a charm – when you want it to.

Like everything else in life that needs conquering, correcting or kicking, "you gotta wanna."
