And the benefits are significant. We normally give patients anti-anxiety medication as well as pain medication, but with AI we can reduce or eliminate the sedatives.

Anodyne imagery is great because it is really self-care.
The patient can learn it so quickly that they don't have to rely on others to come in time and time again to walk them through it. The participants discovered that Anodyne training is not only useful for their patients, but also for themselves. It gives them an effective tool to deal with even the most anxious patients in a compassionate manner. Not only that, the trainers can use it on themselves.
