Why You Fear General Anaesthesia

It’s completely normal to feel anxious about general anaesthesia. The fear of losing control, not waking up, or the unknowns of the medical procedure can trigger deep, overwhelming anxiety. But here’s something important to remember:

Your fear is based on imagination, not reality. Your brain reacts to perceived threats in the same way it would to real ones, which is why your fear feels so intense. The good news is: you can break this cycle of fear with the right tools and take back control of your emotions.

In this video, I’ll explain how the fear response works and how hypnosis can help you overcome it.

Hypnosis is not about losing control. It’s a deeply relaxing, guided state that allows your subconscious mind to reprogramme your fear responses. Through guided imagery, hypnosis helps you envision a calm and smooth procedure experience.

Imagine feeling calm and in control when you begin your medical procedure, rather than feeling panicked and overwhelmed.

You can experience the benefits of hypnosis right now—from the comfort of your home.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    When should I start mentally preparing for general anaesthesia?

    As soon as possible! Even if your medical procedure is months or weeks away, don’t let fear take over your life. Even if it’s tomorrow, it’s still not too late to feel better.

    Most common Myth: Will hypnosis make me lose control?

    No, Hypnosis actually gives you more control. It’s not like what you’ve seen in movies—it’s a highly focused state of calm. Think of it like turning off the outside noise and focusing on the present moment only. You’ll be fully present and remember everything afterwards.

    I have recorded a detailed video for you here, explaining exactly what Hypnosis is or does.

    Can Self-Hypnosis help me avoid panic the night or morning before the procedure?

    Absolutely. Self-Hypnosis is an excellent tool to calm last-minute nerves and ensure a restful night’s sleep before your medical procedure.

    You can use my recording both in the weeks leading up to your procedure and the night before to promote deep, restorative sleep. You can also listen to the recording whilst in the hospital waiting, blocking out those hospital sounds and focusing on feeling calm and relaxed.
