I have been doing some reading on hypnosis for anxiety. It's kinda scary but at this point I'm willing to try. I absolutely refuse to go back on medicine.

Has anyone ever tried this?
Anyone know anything about it?

I haven't heard anything about hypnosis, but I practice meditation (in addition to being on medication) and that helps a lot, so I can see the connection.

Shadawn2,

Good Morning.  I learned self-hypnosis from my very first therapist and found it was helpful.

Be sure to find someone who is reputable if you are searching for a hypnotist.

For me I really thought, 'yeah right, you hypnotized me' but when I practiced at home I found it really was working.

Your thinking outside the box now and that is good.

Kindly,

Kitt

I just started to see a therapist who is a certified hypnotist. So, we'll see!

The only time I was ever hypnotized...and they didn't even call it that...but I now know that is what the technique was, happened in a lamaze class with my first pregnancy.

The teacher took us through a guided progressive deepening of a relaxation state.

It was amazing, and I have never felt so completely at peace.

I did end up having two babies naturally using the techniques...so I think if hypnosis can help with large amounts of physical pain...it could have similar relaxing qualities for anxiety!

Good luck and let us know if you decide to try it.;)
