How to Overcome Mammogram Anxiety

Are you anxious about an upcoming mammogram?

Have you even thought about cancelling because you feel too frightened to go through with it?

If you're worried about going for a breast exam, you're not alone.

Medical check ups and screening procedures, even though they are usually quite harmless in themselves, and improve our chances of avoiding potentially much more distressing processes, can still be quite alarming. Many people feel daunted and bewildered by the technology itself. They worry about physical discomfort and pain. And they worry about the results.

You know that mammograms save lives

Of course, your rational mind knows that mammograms save lives. Your rational mind knows it is very unlikely that a scan will find a problem, and that if it does, finding that problem early is very much better for you than finding it late. And this is true even if you have had a painful or distressing experience with an earlier screening.

But it seems that your rational mind and your emotional mind are not talking to each other. For whatever reason, you have come to associate mammograms with anxiety and dread, and you can't talk yourself into feeling calm about it. Even thinking about it may be making you feel frightened and nervous.

So what can you do to help yourself do what you need to do to take care of yourself?

It's time to turn to hypnosis. Hypnosis has been successfully used for many years to help people manage pain, discomfort and anxiety. It's even been used during operations in place of anesthetics. Recent studies have shown that hypnosis "is an efficacious treatment for state anxiety (e.g., prior to tests, surgery and medical procedures)" ¹.
