Perioperative ACT-Based Clinical Hypnosis for Opioid Weaning

Hypnosis guidance and audio tracks aimed at promoting pain relief, reducing distress and anxiety, and facilitating sleep will be provided for independent use, with daily practice recommended. Each hypnosis session will be 20-25 minutes long. The scripts for these sessions have been developed based on the clinical literature (e.g., Elkins, 2014) and are already in use with patients of the pain service.
