One of the most common concerns of my patient's before surgery is the fear and anxiety that they may not wake up. This fear can have serious consequences, in particular during and after surgery. Fortunately, there are many ways to overcome this fear, and it can even be done without medications in many patients!

Exposure therapy is very powerful, and it can become even more powerful when paired with biofeedback techniques to reduce the intensity of sympathetic nervous system tone. I've shown powerful relaxation techniques, in particular with diaphragmatic breathing, and the same techniques can be used combined with exposure therapy. This is what we do in operating room exposure therapy, like I demonstrate here.
