A Resource Guide for Doctors, Nurses, and Technologists
Assisting people in making good decisions
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. Laser and I must have some kind of spiritual connection – whenever I really want to make a serious change or commitment in my life, I seek her out. Over the past 14 years, she has helped me "enjoy" natural childbirth with both my boys, change careers to realize my potential and most recently – 15 months ago – she suggested I may benefit from giving up alcohol. I told her if I wasn't drinking in a year, I would write her a review to share my experience.

Well, being in the field of Maintenance and Reliability in Manufacturing Plants and moving into the Consulting world where entertainment is a given, not drinking is a tough decision to make. I thought it would help me find more time to work frankly and it has. I did switch to non-alcoholic beer – and have on a very few occasions (like my first trip to China) – made a toast with a few tablespoons of wine – which I actually do miss – yet can now live without.

Dr. Laser has a very interesting technique that works for me – she removes the "concern" like extracting a tooth. The first time we did this, I actually woke to a bloody nose. She wished she'd filmed it – yet that was too personal for me at the time. Even sharing this is quite personal for me, yet she's so wonderful in assisting people with making good decisions, I can't help but share her with the rest of the world.

Dr. Laser – Cheers! Happy New Year and thanks for always making me strive to be a better person – able to achieve her goals and convictions in life!

You are the most amazing Hypnotist in the Universe – I love you!

With Love & Respect,
