MRI claustrophobia affects up to 37% of patients, often resulting in incomplete scans, sedation requirements, or cancelled appointments. Our personalised self-hypnosis sessions provide a clinical solution backed by research showing 80-92% success rates in helping patients complete their MRI scans without interruption or medication.
Hypnotherapy addresses MRI anxiety by accessing the subconscious mind where fear responses originate. Through guided relaxation and systematic desensitisation techniques, these sessions retrain your nervous system's automatic response to enclosed spaces. The therapeutic intervention works by reducing the stress response while building new neural pathways associated with calm and control during medical procedures.
Unlike generic anxiety recordings, each session is individually crafted by a qualified clinical hypnotherapist based on your specific triggers – whether confined spaces, machine noise, scan duration, or loss of control. This personalised approach ensures the therapeutic content directly addresses your unique symptom profile and anxiety patterns. Most clients report significant symptom reduction within 2-5 practice sessions, making this intervention suitable for both scheduled and urgent MRI appointments.
Delivered as a custom MP3 recording within 48 hours, this evidence-based approach offers a cost-effective alternative to sedation or open MRI requirements while providing the clinical support needed to complete essential diagnostic imaging successfully.
