Less Stress Surgery : A Guided Imagery Relaxation Tape

Rating:
Summary: Indispensable in preparing for and recovering from surgery
Review: This is not just another "feel good relaxation tape". Going into surgery without it, is like going into war unarmed. When informed that I would have to have both breasts removed, my emotions ran from schock and fear to anger and helplessness. Listening to the tape changed my attitude. Now I was taking an active part in how my surgery would go, as well as my recovery time. My anxiety pre-surgery decreased. Blood loss during the surgery was minimal. Most importantly, post surgery I experienced no nausea, and tolerable pain. Don't be a victim of your surgical experience. Dr. Neimark's tape made a believer out of my surgeon and the entire medical staff. If you or someone you love is facing surgery, get this tape. It actually helps you give your body specific directions to decrease anxiety, minimize blood loss, control nausea, pain, and healing. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Review: This tape helped me so much through my last surgery. I played it many times prior to the surgery and asked the doctors if I could have it played during my surgery and they agreed. My recovery time beat all others who have had the same type of surgery! While I was in the hospital recovering, I was able to play the tape and focus my pain literally "outside my body". I did not need to have as much pain medication as they thought I would need. I would truly recommend this tape for anyone going through major surgery.

Review: This tape isn't one of the best I've heard. The man's voice is soothing, and the imagery is good, but when he snakes technical terms in ( i.e. " endorphins " ) and talks about getting your bowels moving again after surgery, it kind of makes you lose track of the relaxation. It would be better if he didn't try to include so much INFORMATION and stuck to guiding the relaxation.
