Hypnotherapy

[ladywoman]

Do any ABers have any experience (good or bad) of hypnotherapy. Am not talking about live showbiz shows but serious consultations for e.g. quitting smoking. Would be interested to hear what effect it has had on you

I was hypnotised against my fear of spiders, but I don't think it worked.

I went to a group hypno session with my wife to stop her smoking . this didn't work but in the break i mentioned i had a fear of dentists. He hypnotised me one on one and that worked brilliantly. I used to be awake all night dreading the thought of the dentist and didn;t go for years. Now i fall asleep on the chair even for major (painful) work. Sad but i quite enjoy going now.

I have had hypnotherapy to give up smoking, a long time ago(30 yrs), and, yes, it worked for me. I think it depends on; 1) how opened minded you are
2) how much you want to achieve.....?

and the such like. Having said that, I returned to smoking afert 3 years, a very silly move. On another occasion I decided to kick the weed, I tried to find my therapist. I was finally told that he had passed away some years earlier. So I am still smoking. ladywoman, if you find a good therapist, can you pass their name on to me please, ta. Good luck.
