Hypnosis

[DannyD303]

Has anyone tried hypnotherapy or hypnosis to fight their anxiety?

I ask because I want to fight my anxiety but without medication. I know medication works for a lot of people with anxiety but I dont think mine is severe or consistent enough to justify trying to alter chemical balances in my brain.

Any experiences or stories will be appreciated.

Thank you

Hi Danny I tried hypnotherapy a while back! it relaxed me a while but did nothing for my anxiety long term.

I've tried hypnosis before concerning other things (so not anxiety), and it worked. But, as Cullingford mentions above, it doesn't work in the long term - if you don't "replenish" it every now and then, that is. I'd say go for it, but you have to feel 100% comfortable with the person performing the hypnosis therapy or it won't work. Also, you have to be committed to the idea that it'll work.
