From: Post-hypnotic safety suggestion improves stress coping with long-lasting effects
Main results of the study. Participants in the safety group felt less stressed and anxious after acute stress and during recovery compared to the control group. Adrenaline levels and heart rate increased during acute stress and normalized afterwards without significant group differences. Cortisol levels did not rise over 1.5 nmol/l on average after acute stress in all participants. The effect of the post-hypnotic safety suggestion was stable over 1 week irrespective of experimental group. The first author of the manuscript was the hypnotist, but never part of the TSST jury as depicted in the picture.
