hypnotherapy
Hi,
I suffer from panic attacks and have finally booked an appointment for next weekforhypnotherapy .
Can any one tell me (silly question) do they really hypnotise you?
Answers:
Yes, that's what you're paying for, although I have had people come to see me, we've discussed the issues that have brought them to me, then they decide that actually talking about it was enough and they don't want the hypnosis part of the session! Sometimes they go away without hypnosis, sometimes we just do some relaxation work instead.
Hypnotherapy is highly effective with panic attacks, the biggest part is taking action to book the appointmenet in the first place, so try to relax and get the most out of your session. If you want to discuss further, do feel free to pm me.

I've been hypnotised twice, once to stop smoking and the other to help me relax when getting stressed out. And they both worked a treat not smoked since last April, still get stressed out a bit but now have a relaxing programme which the hypnotist programmed in me. Thats a great help in getting to sleep no more walking up and down in the middle of the night keeping everyone else awake.
The only way I can discribe it is that you sit in a comfy chair with your eyes closed and feel really relaxed while the hypnotist talks to you. Been think of having past life regression done sometime in the future and I was told your'e better going to a hypnotherapist that your'e happy with and I'm def happy with mine.

When you go for your first consultation, the therapist should be able to tell you that at no point during the 'therapy' will you be unconcious or out of control. I found that quite reassuring when I first tried hypnosis 32 years ago - my only experience had been watching a 'hypnotist' in a pub, making a bloke believe that onions were apples and giving him one to eat!!!
I have had hypnotherapy over the years for anxiety, labour pain control, chocolate addiction (!) and most recently, to deal with grief. At all times, I was completely aware of my surroundings,and was so relaxed and reassured by the therapist that I didn't need to 'come too' - I just listened to his/her voice and let it wash over me. Bliss!
However, I did have one rather odd experience of hypnotherapy when I lived in the States. I was assured that the therapist was kosher, as he worked alot with sports teams helping to build self-esteem (mainly teenagers). He had a very nice manner, and a charming voice, and I was soon relaxed enough to feel able to drift - but then he touched my shin, and told me that as my skin felt the warmth of his hand, I would 'go deeper' - but when his hand went under the hem of my skirt I was out of that chair like a jack-in-a-box. I told him that I thought his technique was unnecessary and I was not happy and would he please leave (he was in my house, and I was alone!!). He complied, and looked a bit shocked! I then rang all the national associations I could find to check him out, and he wasn't affiliated to any of them. I rang one of the sports clubs that he volunteered at, and asked if there had been any 'complaints' - there had, but they had taken no action as he was a volunteer!!! He had apparently attended a hypnotherapy workshop some years before, and had developed his business from being self-taught - he was not insured.
Always check the credentials of anyone who is going to be helping you! I did not let this experience put me off. I now have a brilliant therapist, who, when I am feeling particularly vulnerable, "takes me" to a very sunny place, sorts me out, and brings me back feeling energised and happy.
