Hypnotherapy; does it work?

Thanks for all the comments.:)

I have decided to give it a go and attended my first session earlier today and must say I am very impressed; certainly a weird experience when you do it for the first time, but anyway I do actually feel quite a bit better even after one session…!

If i send you some money can you ask them to cast a spell on my Mother-in-law???

Good for you 🙂 What was your hangup ? care to share>

Behave yourself, Anna! :rolleyes:

I can certainly say I saw a very positive side of hypnotherapy there and I have the video evidence to prove it…

But yes I’d certainly recommend giving it a go. I was well impressed.

Are there any smokers out there?
If you want to give up the habit, why not consider giving hypnotherapy a go as it is suppose to be a great way of quitting.

Hocus pocus for the feeble minded Robbie…stay away from it!!!

Have to agree Steve.

Challenging at times especially in the starting stalls.:D getting back to the topic I have to say I would not do hypnotherapy route! why ? because I guess I don’t let fear or confidence issues get in my way. “Mind Over Matter”

The horses I used to ride were, well lets say highly strung! but they were racehorses.

Racehorses !,even worse, nutty as a squirrels fart.

And that ALL horses are MAD!!!!!!

Not true. I used to ride a very sane, very sensible Clydesdale who never did anything daft – unless you count managing to untie herself as daft… :rolleyes:

The problem is horses sense fear ! they then use it to their benefit, so you have to let them know who is the BOSS and then maintain that position.

Years ago I made a film whilst a student about hypnotherapy. The ‘guinea pig’ was to be a lad on my college course with a bad stammer and confidence problems, especially around girls.

The hypnotherapist got him to lie down and chatted with him to make him relax then set about hypnotising him. Whilst ‘under’ he began to regress to a time when he was at school and the teacher making him read from books in front of the whole class, he didn’t really like that hence he developed the stammer and confidence issues.

So… the hypnotherapist devised a substitute for the stammer, he made him touch his earlobe anytime he felt nervous and the need to stammer, he also did something clever to bolster his confidence around people and girls. After about twenty minutes he brought him back to a full state of conciousness and asked him how he felt..? The lad was full of beans and we began to realise something had very definetly changed. He was chatting away with confidence, occasionally touching his ear and then proceeded out to the reception area to begin chatting up the girl on the desk !

I can certainly say I saw a very positive side of hypnotherapy there and I have the video evidence to prove it. Sadly the effect gradually wore off because he couldn’t afford to go back for reinforcement sessions, poor students that we were then. But yes I’d certainly recommend giving it a go. I was well impressed.

You’re partly right, but if I was afraid, I wouldn’t get on!

Can only say third hand but I know of two people who have done it and both said it was worthwhile, both related to phobias – from what they said, they were both open minded which I understand is the key.

Have to say its not for me, but each to their own and certainly these two both said it helped.

Interesting.

I’ve often thought about going for hypnotherapy for various horse-riding/confidence issues, among other things. Would be interesting to find out whether or not it will do anything for me.

You can get hypnotherapy via the NHS if your doctor refers you.

It works by allowing you to deeply relax while awake and then concentrate on your declared aims. The hypnotherapist is the enabler. Your mind then can re focus on your aim by using the method shown in the sessions.
A small percentage of people cannot be hypnotised but you only find out by going for a session.
It is nothing like the stage style performances repeated on Tv, in fact many people have difficulty accepting that they have been in a hypnotic state.

Hope it works out for you and keep in mind that a lot of time on your first visit will be spent in discussion with the therapist before any hypnosis is started.

Oh and yes it did work for me and also my wife has had good benefits.
