Comfort Talk

Patients feel vulnerable and exposed when on the procedure table—or even when visiting a medical facility—and they are highly suggestible to any comment, positive or negative.

Comfort TalkTM is an innovative method of non-pharmaceutical patient sedation. Healthcare professionals are trained in “talking style” techniques that are complemented with hypnotic language allowing them to help reduce the anxiety, pain and distress of their patients.

The method requires no prior patient preparation or selection. Your staff can master these techniques in a relatively short period of time by participating in the Comfort TalkTM Training Course.

The Comfort TalkTM intervention includes training in rapid rapport, shaping patients’ expectations, the use of comforting language for all facility staff (including receptionists, technologists, nurses, and physicians), and guidance in self-hypnotic relaxation.
