I've never had hypnosis however I do mindfulness meditation which is calming and very helpful to me, it does nothing to ease pain just very relaxing and helps me cope.xx

It is not something that I have considered personally, but I want to genuinely wish you all the best of luck if you decide to give ti a go.

All my hopes and dreams for you

I went for relaxation therapy which felt kind of like hypnosis. I had a thumping headache when I went and all the signs of a major muscle spasm in my back. Listening to the CD kind of hypnotised me and I was out cold.

The therapist woke me up and I was so refreshed - have not a clue what went on cos I swear I could still hear the voice when I was asleep but I felt amazing afterwards xx

Anything is worth a try - in my opinion, it can't make you worse so just go for it xx

Yes, i use self hypnosis all the time. Brilliant! "Self hypnosis for Dummies " book is great, and an easy read. There is a pain section in there too...x

Yes, I've used hypnotherapy for anxiety in the past and found it a great help.
