hypnotherapy
Hey
Just wanted to ask a silly question or 2 really.
Im currently doing a course of hypnotheraphy it was meant to be pain management for my IBS but the doctor saw I was highly strung so said we should work on reducing my stress levels.
Its good as they are increased due to withdrawal of meds.
A symptom of my withdrawal is anxiety. Now this has been mild so far but when it gets bad everything is stressful even deciding what to eat for dinner....
Anyway he says I should self hynpotise to really feel the effects.
Now Im stressing about when I should do it, how long for. Will someone distrub me.
After Ive done it I feel like I have more stress and I know this isnt normal. I dont feel panicky but have either a tight stomach or a tight solar plexus.
I can get relaxed when Im in the self hypnosis but Im not concentrating that good, due to the anxiety.
Should I carry on? The Doc seems to not really understand when I try to explain and he tried another techique but that hasnt helped.
He almost had a go when I said the anxiety hadnt improved, he was like yes but you expected this becus of your withdrawal.
Maybe Im expecting too much.
Is it just Im not concentrating enough to relax and therefore not feeling the benefits?
I just feel stupid that Im stressing about doing a relaxtion technique...
