Interventions
Before the beginning of stitches, the patient will be offered a hypnotic induction. The hypnotic induction is the initial phase of the hypnosis process. Its goal is to bring the patient to a state of dissociation: the hypnotic trance. Induction is usually achieved through progressive relaxation, sensory focusing, and a process of confusion.
