Hello
I have recently started hypnotherapy for my GAD and had been seeing a counsellor for CBT. My hynpotherapist seems to think that hypno is about a third quicker than CBT but there is no reason you can't do the two together. I think the CBT however made me more restless as I knew I had to think about problems that would leave me with hamster style thoughts that I was unable to get rid of for long periods of time.
I am on hypno sessions number 2 and really felt the benefit from just the first session.
Hope you do too. Best of luck.
Michaela.
