too anxious to be hypnotised???

[imported_n/a]

around a year and a half ago i really was at the end of my tether coulnt really go out anywhere ,couldnt talk to anyone ,just picking up the phone was such a tremendous effort, somehow i found the stength to try hopnotism as i heard on my local radio station a discuttion {sorry not that litarate cant spell ha ha}on hypnotherapy wow this sounded great all the answers to my prolems, and with the hypnotist being on a local bbc station i thought i coulnt go wrong as he would have been vetted and everthig,so i gave it a shot i called him really nice guy came to my flat as i had told him i was agraphobic , so he came early one morning and he was here at least an hour and half , he could see that i was very anxious him being there ,but it wasnt him just being here i was like that most of the time ,anyhow he put this monitor thingy on my finger to test just how anxious i was ,and he compered it to his own anxiety level which mine was around ten times as higher than his normal level, he then told me i was to anxious to be hypnotised????? very dissapointing to say the least i thought it was going to be my miracle cure ,,,so what he did is,,{has anyone heard of emotional freedom technique???} well he did that with me ,i guess that really didnt help at all,,and he charged me 60 pounds for the privilage was i ripped off???oh and he gave me a hug before he went ha after he got his money,,so really a bit of a dissapointing story but would love to hear of any success stories as i am thinking of trying it again,but with a different therapist ,,thanks would be grateful for any feedback,,,,,darren

And he pushed them.
And they flew.

Hypnotherapy takes time and u do need to try and relax. I know that sounds easy but hey if you want something to work then you give it all!!

I went when I was really panicky but it did help cos I was looking for a cure so I tried so hard to relax and I did!

As for links (Meg knows I like looking them out - lol)

There is a whole thread on hypnotherapy so I wont post that - u can see it from the main forum page. Try these as well .... (on eft)

Hiya Darren,

I went for hypnotherapy when I was at my worst. I had two sessions and I don't know if it helped or not (i think it did) Anyway I had to take my tapes and listen to them daily (for a while at least) until i felt better and then when i needed to relax, but guess what... I got anxious about listening to my tapes incase he made me do something weird (i know i'm a nutter) or phoned me and said sleep !!!!!

Anyway I know it is irrational but I couldn't help it!!! I have since lost my tapes and couldn't listen to them even if i wanted to!!!!

I can't help but think though darren that this guy should have at least tried to relax you and not just put something on your finger!! As he didn't actually attempt to hypnotise you then he might charge a call out fee but the full whack to me seems pretty cheeky

Love
lucky
