You Are Getting Sleeepy .....

Has anyone ever undergone hypnotherapy? Do you believe it works for therapy whether psychotherapy or even just to break a habit? Some people go to try & quit smoking, for instance.

No way. I prefer to be in control at all times.

Apparently I'm not that susceptible to hypnotism - people have tried it on me in the past with total failure!!!

I have been hypnotised a few times, my OCD thing, it helped to some degree but I don't think it's as good as many people claim.

Re: You Are Getting Sleeepy .....

My husband was a few years ago but didn't help him at all, mind I think his problems are more than you can expect hypnotherapy to cure
I had it for my spider phobia and it did help me right up until I was faced with a huge spider in the shed then I forgot everything that had been said ad simply shrieked, so not a miracle cure there either.
My MIL, and we still laugh about this, was a little hard of hearing and when the hypnotherapist was trying to get her hypnotised kept telling him to "speak up young man, stop mumbling" so not a huge success for her either.

My niece however has it for dentistry ! and has had root canal treatment with just hypnotherapy for pain relief she also used it for giving birth and it really seemed to work for her.

I believe some people are more susceptible to it than others.

It seems very hit and miss but root canal treatment???!! Wouldn't risk that!

Re: You Are Getting Sleeepy .....

I think the giving birth was the more risky LOL but she did sort of move up to it by having lesser treatments and building up her techniques. Her hypnotherapist says she is extremely susceptible to it and has advised her never to be hypnotised on stage for fun !!
