[lil_kiss24]

Hi,I have suffered from anxiety for a long time. Someone suggested hypnotherapy but it is so expensive! Im not looking for a quick fix..I know Ive a lot to work through. The thing is, I really want to get better. I really want my life to be normal again. So Im willing to give anything a try really.If anyone has any suggestions,Id be so grateful.If anyone has gone to a Hypnotherapist for anxiety or anything else, could you please tell me if it works?Thank you all for listening.Any help would be appreciated.

Ive never tried any of those methods but ive read alot about it. They say that you should be careful and not let just anyone(not all proffesionals know what are they doing) practice Hypnotherapy with you because while you are on that stage they can put things in your mind or say words that can make you feel worse afterwards. I was reading that there is a technique better than that one and that get rid of all the problems with one self. I dont know if it's true, Ive havent tried that one either, but you can read and decide for yourself. It makes sense to me. Here is the link to the web site. Good Luck.http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeoqv82/english/id16.htmlPD: Try to be strong and not let things make you feel anxious. You can also try Meditation, there are a lot of CDs that you can buy (they have for beginners), and also Yoga, and try to connect with your inner self. I hope you can find peace and get well soon. I just found this link and thought of you. http://dailymotivator.com/memberflash/rightnow.html

I go to a school program and they said a lot about it. The one child's parent saw one and is now better off. They help relax you and put words in your mind and mouth and help you take care of the problem from what I have heard. i suggest it. Best of Luck!

It certainly works. First listen to some of the myths about hypnotism, the you will believe it.MYTH: You lose control... In fact because you are in a relaxed state your mind is free of that 24 hour a day "chatter", therefore, you are in more control of your thoughts. MYTH: Morals, Beliefs and Values are compromised... In a hypnotic trance you can not be made to do anything against your will.MYTH: You Go To Sleep... In fact you will hear and remember everything that I say.MYTH: A Hypnotherapist can make you do anything...A Hypnotherapist can not make you do anything against your ethics, values, or beliefs.MYTH: You will not come out of trance...At most you will move into a natural sleep and wake up feeling energized and refreshed.MYTH: Only mentally weak or sick people are hypnotizable...In fact the opposite is true. The capacity to be hypnotized is a statement of relative mental health.MYTH: Women are more hypnotizable than men...In fact, the sexes are the same in their trance capacity.MYTH: Symptom removal means a new symptom... In fact, this is not necessarily so. Any number of troubling symptoms, from skin rash to fear of animals, can be successfully treated with the help of hypnosis without the appearance of a substitute symptom. Many symptoms are actually psychological fossils: remnents of earlier emotional times that linger on as habits.MYTH: Hypnosis is dangerous...In fact, there is nothing dangerous about hypnosis by itself. If there were, we would certainly know it. We would have to tell ourselves not to slip into another state of consciousness, not to day dream, not to concentrate deeply, not to become totally absorbed in things of compelling interest.MYTH: The hypnotist must be charismatic, unique or weird...In fact, a flamboyant or eccentric personality might well disturb the trusting atmosphere that serves to bring out a person's trance talentby suresh kumar.
