In a friendly and professional exchange, physicians Dr. Ann Scolofsky and Denise delve into the realm of hypnosis, blending personal narratives with medical insights.
Early Encounter with Hypnosis
At the age of eight, Anne’s introduction to hypnosis through a local psychic society left an indelible mark. Her family’s successful use of hypnosis in surgery became a lifelong healing tool.
Medical Benefits Unveiled
Denise highlights recent evidence supporting hypnosis for surgical healing. Anne expands on personal and familial experiences, emphasizing its positive impact on academic tests, surgeries, and dental procedures. She also notes the effectiveness of self-hypnosis audios in float tanks during her medical school journey.
Clinical Advocacy
Anne champions hypnosis for managing anxiety and digestive issues, citing its calming effect on patients. Denise addresses the insurance paradox, noting the hesitation despite proven benefits and cost-effectiveness, sometimes making it the first suggested but uncovered treatment.
Integration into Medicine
Anne notes a positive shift with integrative medicine groups embracing hypnotherapy, signaling growing acceptance. Denise draws parallels with acupuncture’s increasing recognition, expressing optimism for hypnosis to follow suit.
Hypnosis for Childbirth
The discussion expands to explore hypnosis for childbirth. Anne shares her experience with a midwife introducing self-hypnosis-like exercises, sparking further interest.
Towards Integration
As the medical community leans towards a more integrative approach, the hope is that hypnosis comes more often to mind as an adjunct treatment.
Denise Billen-Mejia MD, Consulting Hypnotist and Coach worked for two decades as a clinician in Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine and now, retired from medicine, she actively seeks opportunities to educate physicians and the public about hypnosis.
She is a fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine (section on Hypnosis and Psychosomatic Medicine), and a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists.
