Pre- and Postsurgical Surgical Support is a guided-imagery journey developed by Debra Basham because stress is a natural response to the prospect of surgery or other medical procedures. The need for surgery or the discovery of a serious health problem is often a turning point in life, and individuals will do best when they assume an active role in the process of recovery. Using your conscious and unconscious resources helps you promote your own health as you relax and prepare for whatever you are navigating physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Research indicates that an individual who has been well-prepared emotionally and mentally can, on average, experience:
- 20% less blood loss during surgery
- 23%-50% less need for pain medication
- Earlier discharge from the hospital
- Fewer complications following surgery
Avoid listening while driving or performing other tasks that require your full attention.
