Anyone tried hypnotherapy for their anxiety? I’m starting next week. Does it work? I’ve been in and out of therapy for over 20 years so I hope this works!

What are you hoping to get out of it? Remembering? Putting "at ease" feelings deep in your conscious?

I have not however I am a little bit curious of my subconscious. I have a blackout period in my childhood. I know it happened, blacked it out. I remember the beginning and then nothing. Years to this day, effected by that time in my life. Changed my path in life:/

Hoping to stop or at least minimize my catastrophic, negative thoughts. Breaking my “bad” habits of thinking the worst and panicking.

I tried it, it didn't work for me, but I am a control freak, so I never can fully trust someone, therefore, being hypnotized didn't work. It really depends on if you are trusting enough to be hypnotized. Everyone is different, I hope it works for you!

Waste of money. The hypnotherapy tapes free on Utube are better x

Hi Worrywort, we each respond differently to methods out there. As for myself,

self-hypnosis has worked great for me. I started with a professional hypnotherapist

for several sessions and then have been doing it on my own with the help of YouTube.

I will say that anytime I hear the numbers counting backwards from 10 to 1, I go into

a deep relaxed state. Whether it's an elevator floors, microwave seconds or hearing the numbers, it

works. It's worth a try. :) xx
