I tried a hypnotherapy appointment last week. I don't really know what to make of it. The man was certainly nice, and seemed more caring than any of the actual psychiatrists i have seen.
He questioned me for a while, and then gave a few assessments, each of which i felt was a little naive. Then he told me to relax, while he told me stories about other patients were supposed to illuminate my case, though they didnt seem anything like me. He had certainly been listening - he used all clues i gave him extensively. But over all it reminded me a bit of going to see a psychic medium, the way he took in clues i gave him and ran away with them along obvious lines. Basically i mentioned going to the gym helped - which seemed to form the basis of a whole theory about having excess energy, and he said i would be cured if i worked out more. Hmm
It might be just because it was the first session - he only met me for an hour after all. But then, shouldn't he have perhaps kept it on more general lines until he knew me better?
I dont know. i did feel quite relaxed afterwards - maybe this is the most i can expect. I certainly dont feel any different now, or more confident about anything. Should i give it another go or chalk it to the big wall of failed ideas?
Has anyone else experienced anything more fundamental?
