Hypnotherapy ... Does It Work?

[Gazzas86]

Likewise for my mom, she smoked easily 20 a day since she was 16, and had 1 hypnotherapy session when she was 47 and topped straight after that, shes now 53 and hates the smell etc, all for £100 odd quid session.

Well, all I can say is that Saturday and Sunday went by fast! My speech, according to others, was excellent and supposedly I didn't look nervous at all. I have to admit though, I still was pretty nervous. As such, I'm not entirely sure if the hypnotherapy worked, or whether I just stood up and 'dealt with it' as I had no other choice.

However it was pretty good to sit down and talk to someone about what was making me nervous. The hypnotherapy session was incredibly relaxing too Would I do it again? Hmmm, probably not. Still, even if it helped a bit, it was worth the cash

Glad it went well. As to whether it helped, if you didn't panic then it helped. With such things, it's not like you get a massive neon sign with a loudspeaker going "Whoop! Whoop! Hypnotherapy function kicking in!"

I used it to good success for a spider phobia. Petrified before, then at the end of the course was holding a Mexican red knee turantula!

Works if you are willing for it to work

Hey, it was your sub-concious which suggested he was a paedo

No, it was my conscious mind which triggered the paedo alert.

I hate public speaking, etc, and went through the ordeal of the best-man-speech last year. I had an identical experience to the OP (without assistance from softly-spoken child molesters)
