Surgery causes both physical and emotional trauma. Anxiety, apprehension and fear of the unknown are normal emotions when faced with surgery. We often feel a loss of control when we have to undergo complex medical procedures. Our outlook about surgery can reduce feelings of discomfort, promote healing and speed recovery. Physical well-being can be enhanced by emotional perceptions of anticipated experiences. Research has shown that a brief preparation for a surgery can reduce anxiety and enhance recovery. Having a positive and calm outlook can be easy to learn and often will enhance the healing process.
