Impact Journalism Day: Healing powers of hypnosis promoted by Swiss

In the large burns unit of the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) in Lausanne, Switzerland, hypnosis is used on a daily basis.

A study has shown that hypnosis reduces the time patients spend in intensive care and saves $26,000 a patient.

The hospital now wants to extend this insight into other departments.

"If hypnosis were a medication it would already be in all hospitals, but it is an approach, and thus it must overcome cultural barriers," says Pierre-Yves Rodondi, a doctor at the University Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine at the hospital.

"There are scientific studies, unfortunately ignored by a large part of the medical community, that demonstrate the effectiveness of hypnosis in pain management: it is a tool that should be integrated into treatment. It even works with those who are sceptical."

According to a scientific study carried out at the hospital and published in the journal Burns, hypnosis helps patients with severe burns to recover faster and cuts the cost of therapy.

The study found it reduces anxiety, the use of drugs, the overall need for anaesthetics and, on average, reduces the time spent by patients in intensive care by five days. The savings could be converted into more specialist hospital staff.

"It could be related to a lower level of stress, but this is just our hypothesis," explains Maryse Davadant, a nurse in the intensive care unit and a pioneer in the use of hypnosis at CHUV. 

"On average, we start the first session a few days after the patient is admitted, when he or she is no longer intubated and unable to concentrate.

"Then we teach them to do self-hypnosis: this is a tool that the patient will always have, and the analgesic effect lasts even after therapy.

"We have two nurses in the ICU who only do hypnosis.

"We offer it to everyone, some are aware of it and are interested, whereas others are more sceptical, but almost everyone tries it and is satisfied."

信任你的潛意識-在夢中，圓滿關係裡的缺憾

當人看到了他想要及缺乏的東西是什麼，就是溝通的開始。關係之夢會讓你看到某個重要的，卻還沒處理的生命議題。

「在我爸過世之前，其實我曾夢過他。夢裡他好像在爬山，手腳俐落地像沒有任何病痛，一步步往山頂走去。我出聲喊爸爸，結果他回過頭來笑咪咪地說，妹妹，我先上去了啊。」記得朋友有次將這個夢告訴我，帶著微笑，表情雖有一絲悵惘卻也有著溫柔，說是可能爸爸知道自己時日無多，所以先用這個夢來打聲招呼。「其實當時我沒有想太多，是後來某天翻到日記，才突然把一切連結在一起的。後來我想起這件事，總會感謝這個夢。」

就像這樣，每個人或許都有夢見親友的經驗，在夢裡吵架也好、享受愉快時光也好、甚至夢見對方死去也好，醒來時卻往往有同樣的疑惑：在夢裡出現的人是真的嗎？在夢裡和他發生的事，會不會預示成現實？

關係之夢
看見真正的渴望

「夢境裡的一切可能是自我的投射，我們所夢見的人，也許只是代表自己的某種特質。但是，有一種『關係之夢』的確和別人有關。」徐大智說，想確認自己做的夢是哪一種，還是要先從基本功下手，把這個夢的關鍵字記下來，過二十四小時再回頭去想，過去三個月的時間，和某人是不是有什麼在意而沒處理的議題？夢醒時的感受，是不是和現實事件中的情緒有關？如果沒有特別的對應，那麼夢境裡的人物可能只是自我的一部分，相反的，如果發現夢境和現實的感受有高度連結，那麼就是潛意識在提醒你，某段關係裡有些問題需要被看見。

徐大智提到，有位個案A小姐的故事令他印象深刻。當時A小姐有個穩定交往多年的男友，兩人都到了適婚年齡，卻無法拿定主意未來該怎麼走。有天，她做了一個奇怪的夢，夢到自己跟一個老男人燕好，而且對方是平常很討厭的、總是在職場上糾纏她的客戶。A小姐非常震驚，覺得做這樣的夢很噁心，甚至懷疑是不是對方作了什麼法，竟然讓她夢到這種內容。

「其實，性愛是一個很鮮明的意象，代表人的渴求或欲望，這樣的夢，可能是潛意識有些想要而得不到的東西，想要引起你的注意。」徐大智詢問A小姐，那個老男人身上，是不是有哪些正面特質，是她非常希望男友能表現出來的？A小姐想了想之後回答，的確，她一直苦惱男友不夠成熟穩重，導致她遲遲無法下定決心。

「潛意識希望你注意到沒有被滿足的地方，因此會藉由激烈的夢境呈現，迫使你認真檢視這段關係。」很有趣的是，夢境不見得會用對方的形象出現，就像這個夢的演出者是A小姐跟客戶，但其實真正要處理的議題是她和男友的關係。「當人看到了他想要及缺乏的東西是什麼，就是溝通的開始。關係之夢會讓你看到某個重要的，卻還沒處理的生命議題。」
