Anyone out there with experience with self Hypnosis?
May 7th, 2011
I’ve heard of using it for stopping smoking and losing weight, just wondering if it works and where you learn how to do it.
Thanks

apparently we do it all the time. it’s like driving long distances and not remembering every single detail of the ride even though we know the way.
You can *possibly* learn on your own, using a CD or something like that, but nothing really beats having a coach.
Hypnosis is a state of mind, not a technique. There are techniques for achieving and using the state. That’s what you want to learn – some of those techniques.
It’s like learning karate by DVD, though, and trying to watch/listen, and do the mental things at the same time will frustrate most people.
You’re better-off finding a local professional consulting hypnotist to coach you according to your belief-system and mental strengths. You want someone who operates on that basis – not some script-reader.
The National Guild of Hypnotists may refer you, and most hypnotists will give you a short evaluation by phone or in person at no charge.
As far as effectiveness, a recent client stopped in 1 session. By session 2 he was losing weight as well. By session 3 he was a health-junkie, and now he’s an insufferable poster-boy who hands out more of my cards than I do.
Good luck
I went to a medical hypnotist, and learned how to do it. He also taught biofeedback so I could monitor the deepness of the hypnosis. It is like deep meditation. You wake up and are totally relaxed.
Hello Wayne
Self hypnosis can be very affective & relaxing. There are plenty of book on the matter – try amazon.
Some advice ~ when you find a technique that you like, stick to it, if you chop & change your subconscious will only become confused at what you are trying to acheive.
