55: Choosing Hypnotic Interventions in Nursing- Christy Cowgill, BCH, RN, CRNA, MBA, CHBE, NC-BC

Integrative Nurse Coaches in ACTION!

“We see this a lot in oncology too, where we're seeing a lot of use of hypnosis in even outpatient oncology, Nurses learning hypnotic language and using it there. Patients starting to feel more supported. Like, I knew you supported me before, but when we add that extra layer of using our communication styles with more conscious effort, our patients feel it, they draw more meaning from those experiences.” ~Christy Cowgill BCH, RN, CRNA, MBA, CHBE, NC-BC

Ah-Ha Moments

• Placebo and beliefs are powerful and can have reduced negative symptomology
• Nocebo is a negative suggestion, like side effects, headaches, nausea, weight gain etc.
• Elimination of or creating positive flips in language and words will support our patients more effectively
• Hypnosis is a state of being conscious and focused and taking in suggestions as if they are true
• Adding in positivity to neutralize the negatives helps support full healing
• Words are important for the meaning you understand for your healing
• Neuro-linguistic programming in offering feedback in the workplace with a “Feedback Sandwich” 1. Share the positive, 2. Growing need (negative), 3. End with a positive
