Sponsor's own description

Medical doctor generally are exposed to several risks and pressures, it is not a case that several meta-analyses have shown high stress and anxiety level in these workers. Stress management represents a very important topic. Being a doctor means dealing with continous effort and arousal management to provide the best treatment through executive functions capacity. This is particularly true for younger medical trainees; that have also to learn how to deal with failure and the curve of learning. Hypnosis has been shown to be very effective at modulating executive functions and sympathovagal balance, with large effect in post traumatic stress disease (PTSD), anxiety and executive function modulation. Therefore, this study aim to investigate if hypnosis could be beneficial among medical trainees for managing negative thoughts related to work.
