Hypnotherapy Reviews

I started smoking when I was fifteen years old as I thought it was the 'cool' thing to do at the time and all my friends did it, so I wanted to fit in with the gang!! When I got to about 18 years old I really regretted my decision but by that time it was too late and I was addicted! I continued throughout my life smoking, I actually ...

As a qualified Hypnotherapist I am obviously going to review this favourably. I trained at a hospital under 2 very experienced hypnotherapists back in 1999 so I've been practising for a while now. Firstly I'd like to point out I do not do stage hypnosis, there was the option to learn this on our course but I declined as I never wanted ...

I have had a phobia about injections and blood tests for as long as I can remember. Actually that's a lie. I can remember being five years old and the doctor telling my mum I would need a blood test. I remember asking "what's a blood test?" (oh blissful ignornace!) So prior to this I did not have a phobia! On the ...

Hypnotherapy and hypnosis are two very different practices which are often confused. Whereas hypnosis is often used as entertainment to make people eat raw onions, think they're washing machines or have orgasms every time they hear a Rolling Stones record, hypnotherapy is a long-recognised psychotherapeutic practice which can be helpful in ...

I don't have personal experience of this as I am a non-smoker, but I know of people who swear by it, my husband included. It all started about a year ago when one of my work colleagues told me about her success at giving up smoking after visiting a hypnotherapist. At the time my husband smoked and I was desperate for him to give it ...

You are stretched out on my couch, relaxed and at peace. I have a small crystal on a string. I am holding this about twelve inches from your eyes. I want you to gaze intently at the crystal and listen to my voice. "Keep looking at the crystal. As you do you will notice a very pleasant feeling of heaviness coming over your entire ...

I tried hynotherapy after suffering from stress at work. I had a very high powered and stressful job and I was constantly battling with targets. I got to the stage where I didn't think I could handle this anymore. A friend suggested hypnotherapy. I really didn't expect it to help although I was desperate for a solution. The first ...

Misconceptions about hypnotherapy are popular. Many of the untruths can be traced back to the unfortunate early use of not-always-ethical side shows and demonstrations of hypnotherapy as a form of entertainment on stage and television. Leaving aside that rather dubious form of hypnotherapy, the best way to view it is as a state of ...

When you are hypnotised the hypnotist brings on a deeply relaxed state, using one of many techniques-such as asking the subject to count backwards. While in this trance-like condition, the patient is asked to focus on healing thoughts or on letting go of negative habits. Hypnosis can help anxiety-related problems such as phobias and ...

Having tried everything else to lose weight with varying degrees of success, I tried hypnotherapy becuase it was the only thing, short of surgery, I hadn't tried. When I arrived for my appointment, I nearly didn't go through with it - the hypnotherapist was a very ordinary old fellow in a suit - not at all what I was expecting. Then he ...

Smoking is a habit that's really hard to break. That's why, even though the desire for nicotine leaves your system after a few days when you quit smoking, it's the habit of smoking that will get you going again. Hypnotherapy can cure you of the habit! I qualified as a hypnotherapist who specialises in a programme devised by well-known ...

The basic principle to remember with any form of therpay is that you have to want to change within yourself otherwise the time and money that you and others spend it wasted. I had been having panic attacks on and off for about 4 years and one day I decided that enough was enough. I was on a training course in London and started having ...

I first tried hypnotherapy to give up smoking about 15 years ago. At the time I was more interested in the experience of being hypnotised than in giving up smoking. I went to a group session given by a 'stage' hypnotist and was very surprised to find it worked. Cigarettes tasted absolutely disgusting for a week or so after the session and ...
