Would you like to use hypnosis techniques in your practice?
I'll come to your practice or clinic, teach you the techniques best suited to your specific practice, and you can then treat your patients under my supervision.
Use Case 1
I visited a behavioral therapist at her office. She spent an hour with me practicing the "safe place" technique, in which you travel to a place of comfort while under hypnosis. Next, a patient arrived, and the therapist used the “safe place” technique with her and received feedback from me.
The patient had been informed in advance and agreed to try out a new method with me and her therapist. Later on, I spoke with the therapist to find out how she was getting along with the new method and to clarify some questions.
Use Case 2
I visit a neurology practice and teach the neurologist there techniques for reducing pain through hypnosis. This includes the so-called "magic glove." It is an imaginary glove that you put on together with the patient and that makes the hand feel cold, numb, and insensitive.
This numbness can then be applied to the desired area, such as where a blood sample is to be drawn.
"We have invited Dr. B. Schmidt to our annual conference, 'Ophthalmology Beyond Borders,' to be held in Basel on May 4, 2024. We became aware of her work through media coverage of her research on hypnosis. Our conference has always been open to presentations from other fields of medicine. Dr. Schmidt responded very quickly to our invitation and accepted it. Her presentation on the application of hypnosis in various areas of life, including medicine—and particularly surgery—was extremely interesting and the highlight of this year’s event. Thank you for the live demonstrations and the very lively discussion!" "Your article has inspired us to reflect further on the topic of pain perception during surgery and patients' anxieties surrounding surgical procedures. We wish Dr. B. Schmidt continued success and will follow her work with great interest."
"I had the opportunity to meet Barbara Schmidt at DIVI 2023 in Hamburg. There, she gave a presentation on hypnosis for patients who were afraid of noninvasive ventilation therapy. Her approach and the results of her work opened my eyes in ways I never could have imagined! I must admit, however, that before her presentation, I was actually more on the skeptical side. During a personal conversation, I invited her to my intensive care unit in Erlangen, where she will conduct her studies on patients who require weaning from ventilators. She offered to lead a workshop for our team on her own initiative, which we conducted as a joint team of doctors and nurses. In addition to the “aha!” moments experienced by the participants, it was above all her approach and her tips for dealing with anxious, ill patients that resonated far beyond the context of the workshop or a ventilator situation. She was therefore a real asset to our daily ward routine; for many in our team, this alone changed the way we interact with our patients. I can only recommend working with her to address the fears of our intensive care patients in her own unique way and to take advantage of her expertise! You’ll benefit from it!"
