“…Anchoring works by fixing a central message or suggestion to an object or event, serving as a memory aid. The scripted "hand anchor" intervention helps patients facing surgery anxiety (Tigges-Limmer et al, 2018). Pre-surgery, the patient is led in trance to examine with their inner eye each finger and thumb of the left hand, associating specific resources with each: optimism and hope, trust and protection against negative suggestions, future-orientation, social supports, and the safe place.…”

Heart surgery patients are at high risk for psychological trauma and comorbid psychological disorders. Depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorders in this patient group are predictors of outcomes after cardiac surgery. Medical hypnosis is effective for non-pharmacologic prevention and treatment of psychological disorders and has been associated with improved health-related quality of life and better cardiovascular outcomes. This contribution makes note of evidence of the effectiveness of medical hypnosis in a discussion of the clinical experience with specific hypnotherapeutic tools and interventions from the perspective of the mental health team in one large cardiac center in Germany. Based on our experience, we encourage heart centers to educate their heart surgery care teams about the core concepts of medical hypnosis and to make hypnotherapeutic techniques available as an adjunctive therapy.
