“Imagine you find yourself in an absolute state of emergency due to a life-threatening situation. Imagine around 100 hands doing things to your body, you sense the hectic pace, yet no one is talking directly to you. Stress, fear and uncertainty take over — you feel completely overwhelmed and alone.”
As an anaesthesia nursing expert with over 20 years of professional experience, Doris Däniken has witnessed such situations countless times — until her hypnotherapy training led to a profound awakening. Her realisation was immediate: hypnosis belongs in hospitals.
Since then, she has been guiding patients into anaesthesia with targeted suggestions — restoring calm, safety and self-efficacy. Patient feedback has improved massively as a result, and her own job satisfaction has grown significantly through applying hypnosis techniques.
Doris Däniken demonstrates powerfully how hypnosis can make a profound difference in modern medicine — not only for patients, but for nursing staff as well.
“Hypnosis belongs in hospitals — for more calm, safety and self-efficacy in patient care.”
