Hypnotherapy

I know this has been asked before but when I searched the forum I couldnt find much info, but I was just wondering if anyone on here has any experience of hypnotherapy? Did you find it helped? What was it like?

Ive made an appointment for next week as Im suffering from anxiety and just wondered if anyone on here had had any success, or if it wasnt successful? Any opinions/advice appreciated thanks.

My sister is a recently qualified hypnotherapist, and it must work judging by the amount of people who've said she's helped them. Although some people are apparently more difficult to hypnotise than others.

Had it for agoraphobia (although combined with prozac) and it was incredibly helpful. More helpful for me, I think, than cognitive behaviour therapy.
I would go and she'd tape our sessions, and then I'd listen to them when I went to bed each night.
Great stuff.

have you tried self-hypnotherapy? i.e. listening to subliminal messages, you can buy them on the internet, not sure if they work though, but what's the harm in trying.

if you can help it avoid the internet tapes...you probably have root cause to your anxiety which the hypnotherypist will try to identify and then create a script suited to your exact needs.

id recommend it...before i felt like there was just no way on earth i could combat the panic attacks i had......now i feel so much more confident in my ability to ward off future ones..

ps..try and get one recommended in your area ratehr then plucking a name out of the paper...

I study hypnotherapy, and i know alot of success storys,
but however some people are difficult to hypnotise but thats usually only the people who dont want it to be done.
Hypnosis basically feels like being in a deep relaxation or a day dream, you will still be able to hear whats being said etc,
i understand its scary at first but youll be fine once you get going.
Checking out Paul mckennas website maybe of help to you thoe

I've seen him live, and it was a very impressive performance. Clearly solid blokes who wouldn't do anything to embarass themselves normally were up on the stage bouncing around thinking they were chickens etc. But then again he is one of the best in the business i guess.

But as someone said above, I wouldn't just pluck a name out of the paper, try and find people you know (or people they know) that have had a session with a hynotherapist and judge how successful it was.

I apparently fall into the 'not easy to hypnotise' category because my mind really doesn't want to lose control of itself, and I can't go into the deep relaxing thoughtless sleep that they need.

He is a amazing performer, and hypnotherapist in general anyone who saw his series on sky one would see why
As for the thread starter if you decide on getting tapes or videos etc, then really just go with paul mckennas products or any reccomended by him on his website,
atleast then you know your getting a good deal
