Has anyone done hypnosis?

I just started going to therapy again and I gotta admit I started feeling good but then some how I'm still holding onto things from the past that is messing up my current life with the ones I love most!! Things in life will be going good and I find a way to mess them up by getting in a dark funk by replaying things from my past and then thinking of new ways to why it was done! I carry around a lot of negativity that I need to be free from because its going to cause me to lose my mind I'm closed off from the ones that need me most and its gonna cause me to lose any chances I have to heal and get a relationship back with someone very special to me... So I thought about hypnosis has anyone had it done? Or can you suggest something that will definitely help me?

Good morning. Hi. I have tried hypnosis to quit smoking once and it helped a lot. There are so many options for hypnosis that are good. Paul Mckenna writes books and has cds and there are a lot of YouTube meditations. I personally love the ones where you meet your spirit guide. It's called spirit guide meditation, I believe. Have a good day :)

I tried hypnosis but it had no effect what so ever, but that doesn’t mean it won’t work for you

Hi Destinyweathers x haven't seen you for a while. I use self hypnosis and it has helped me tremendously with anxiety. Some years back, I went to a hypnotherapist for several sessions. The first session was spent with checking if I were going to be a good candidate for hypnosis and I was. The sessions were amazing. You are in control but so into another frame of mind. Peace & Tranquility. Again she was using it for my anxiety at the time. To this day,

I am able to turn to YouTube and go into a state of hypnosis with moments.

There are many videos on YouTube that are for overnight listening which may help you in

working on the past issues that will take away your negativity. I wish you well :) xx

Good Luck with the hypnotherapist...There's nothing to be afraid of.

Remember you are always in control. Just relax and listen to her voice and suggestions.

You'll be okay. Let me know how you do after a while. Give it time. :) xx

It can be a game changer. Was for years. I still refer to the visual anchors when needed. You are in control at all times, The subconscious has most of the answers which is the goal.

Hope you find it beneficial. Doing it with a therapist is easiest as that is the way it is taught. They can help you use it to your benefit as they can guide you along the way.

CBT helps the therapist have an idea of where work needs to be done even though you are ultimately in charge of where your subconscious takes you.
