Hypnotherapy- anyone?

Hi all!
Has anyone tried (and had success with..) hypnotherapy?
I’ve been talking to a guy locally who does it for health anxiety - he said he sees a lot of people with it and he is treating a woman atm who’s HA is all but gone after 3 sessions....
I’m really thinking of giving it a shot.... nothing to lose right?!

Well, you'd lose money unless he's a clinical hypnotherapist with the relevant qualifications so I'd check out his credentials first.

BA Hons, ADip Hyp (NC), MNSHP, CHFP, UKCP

These are his qualifications and he’s accredited by UKCP

I tried it one time with a licensed hypnotherapist. It was weird but I liked it for the most part. I wouldn't say it cured me by any means but it did serve as an interrupter of the cycle I was in at the time. I felt very positive and really great afterwards for the day and it gave me hope. I would go again if I ever felt as down as I did that particular day.

A two hour hypnotherapy session helped me more than 8 years of CBT. It took away many of my physical symptoms...it wasn't a "cure" by any means but it drastically decreased my suffering on a day-to-day basis. But definitely make sure whoever you go with is fully certified and experienced and has good references.
