I haven’t tried it or anything but I have read about it once or twice so it peaks my curiosity as well.

Hi I tried it, I expected so much but sad to say it came to nothing, it was expensive. The sessions consisted of the therapist just talking to me, I expected to be put to sleep and new thoughts put into head. Other methods worked for me to beat anxiety such as CBT, a new hobby, distraction techniques, medication and in general not letting it control my life, I am now free of anxiety

Hi tnulbc115, I did try hypnotherapy (6 sessions) and use it to this day. Was very

successful in being able to completely relax and yet hear the suggestions the therapist

was saying. The only reason I stopped was because as KevinManchester stated, it becomes very expensive.

I can see it helping with IBS as well as Migraines. My best to you :) xx

Thank you all for your replies. I have decided to bite the bullet and book myself an appointment to try hypnotherapy, hopefully I find it beneficial quite quickly so it doesn’t become too expensive.

I am nervous yet excited to try this.
