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/Kindle and for the IPad


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.

“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!”

This is a testimonial from Connie Izquierdo, who used self hypnosis during a recent dental procedure:

Dec 11 2010

C went to the dentist her dental work was to _____________ . The dentist told her what to expect and was about to administer a shot to provide a painless dental procedure. C decided to place herself in Hypnosis during this procedure. She envisioned a pebble dropping down into the lake as she floated on a raft. This stone went down three deep levels floor A B and C At C the deepest level of trance and a stone just goes along with the flow it doesn't feel a thing is just goes along with the tide. Connie felt comfortable and safe and pain free during the entire procedure. The dentist was not informed as to her hypnotic ability. In fact he might have been a bit alarmed during it at times when he told her keep your tongue back When she heard the drilling, she imagined it to be a speed boat, and then a race car. The drilling only helped to deepen her trance even further still. Sinking into the water, she realized she has had a lot on her mind and she has a "lot on her plate"- So given the peaceful time she was experiencing, she met her inner healer. This inner healer met her and they discussed many issues, and began to find solutions. But, it was shortened by the dentist's voice, saying "We are all finished You did a great job Connie, thank you."

I am sure that other dentists would love to have a patient like Connie in their chair. You can be the dentist that can make this happen. Learn a skill instead of a pill. The side effects of hypnosis are deep relaxation, calmness, confidence, a feeling of well being safe, and comfortable. A calm patient produces a calm doctor. Wouldn't you like to learn this technique, it also enhances recovery and reduces bleeding.
