Wondered if anyone else had any experience of hynoanalysis. I did it for about 7 weeks a few years ago and was supposed to discover a hidden unresolved emotion from my childhood (apparently its always something you can't remember and its locked in your subconscious memory). Was supposed to reach a stage when I got to what it was that has been causing my anxiety and have an intense emotional release - And all my problems would be solved!
guess what, I never found out what it was that's been haunting me and apparently about 90% who have the treatment do. Although a bit sceptical I can see some sense in the theory and its putting me off thinking I'll make a recovery unless I find out what it is, cos every time I get better, if I experience another period of stress then my anxiety will come back again.
Id like to try cbt methods but can't help thinking that if I don't find o ut the root cause it will always come back and that cbt is just another way of 'coping'?
All sounds a bit heavy - but any suggestions or thoughts?
