Pre-Surgical Terror Turns Jocular, Thanks to Guided Imagery | Print |  E-mail

My friend gave me this CD (Successful Surgery) when I discovered I needed open-heart surgery. Open-heart surgery!  I'd never been admitted to a hospital nor had I had any medically invasive procedures in my fifty-three years of life.

I was so anxious I had shortness of breath.  I know it was anxiety, because I was asymptomatic from my aneurysm. But I started listening to the Successful Surgery CD 3 weeks before my operation, and I listened to it during the surgery, and it was amazing.  I was so relaxed that I was joking with the anesthesiologists. I experienced minimal pain, zero complications, and 9 weeks later, my recovery is going amazingly well.

This is the first review I have done in my life, but this CD is a-must-have. I am now listening to the Wellness CDs, and I am recommending Belleruth to anyone who listens! I am so grateful. I can't imagine having gone for surgery without Belleruth's coaching.

[Ed. Note: This supports the findings from both Blue Shield of California and Mehmet Oz’s research on this, that the more anxious a person is before a scary procedure or surgery, the more they benefit from using guided imagery. It’s not what we would have expected, necessarily, but it’s a consistent finding.]
