Going through hypnosis to get rid of a phobia

[geek84]

Good Morning folks

I have a phobia which I would like to get rid of by going through a hypnosis session.

Has anyone gone through hypnosis before? What does it feel like? Does the hypnotist ask you very personal questions - ones that he/she wouldn't ask you in normal circumstances and how would I know hat everything is kept confidential?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

There might be other ways than hypnosis, unless you've tried them or made a solid decision on it - for instance, neuro linguistic programming seems to be effective and fast when practiced properly, and your mind remains intact and you are free from zombification.

There is a technique called the fast phobia cure built around hypnosis / NLP

I have seen it work many, many times and it really is fast

Search Bandler fast phobia cure to see stuff about it

No personal information needed

It basically involves you visualising watching yourself watching a film of the last time you had the phobic response... but the film is made b&w and is playing backwards with a soundtrack of circus music

Thanks folks.

Is neuro linguistic programming another form of hypnotism?

Not really

But the two are regularly used in combination
