Have you tried any Hypnosis session?

Yes. Both my wife and I went to a hypnotist, nutritionist. We both lost about fifty pounds each and got off most of our meds.

I am a hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy will be more helpful to some than others. For example, if you really want to change something and are ready to change, it will work for you. The people that find hypnotherapy the hardest to deal with are those with more analytical minds, there are techniques to help those people too. I could write a book here, so I’m being mindful of that. In a nutshell yes you can achieve something. (That is a very simple answer though). It is often used along with other professionals as part of a treatment program if necessary. So each individual is different. If you have any specific questions you can inbox me.

Note: always check the credentials of hypnotherapists. Some are more qualified than others.

Thirty years ago, that is how I quit smoking and never went back.

Yes, I have tried it. And I know that it does wonders for some people, but it really didn’t do much for me.

My problem was the therapist, not the technique. He was trying to address an “issue” which wasn’t really a problem for me.

I never saw anyone professionally, but let me add my experience just for expanded perspective on this.
I attended a small town “whatever” days celebration. There was a hypnotist there, for fun. He spoke of his credentials, and some practical uses for what he does. He then took about ten volunteers. I was one.
We lined up on a flatbed truck in front of a row of folding chairs.
He went to each one before starting and asked if we wanted him to give us a useful post hypnotic suggestion at the end. I chose smoking.
It was fun.
I felt light, like I weighed about twenty pounds.
I could hear the guy’s voice, far away, but clear. Of course, he was using a mic, but I was somewhere else.
He got us to do stuff. Family show, so it was within reason. It was all in fun, and I didn’t resist a thing.
Found out later even the sweet little old lady fipped off the imaginary traffic cop.
When he did my post hs, he specified I would remember everything. He said I would smoke as normal, but only three cigarettes. The fourth cigarette would taste like crap, and I would not want it.
Well, it went just like that. I took one puff of the fourth cigarette, it was nasty. I tossed it, and lit the fifth.
I think the guy could have stopped my smoking, if I paid him, and he wanted to. I would also have to want to cooperate.
I saw a way around the loophole he left me, and took it.

@zenvelo – Did you tell him what the issue you were facing?

I haven’t, but a supervisor did. She was the general manager of the hotel and used hypothesis to quit smoking. It seemed to be working until there were a couple of serious work incidents caused by a few employees not following the controls and procedures. The pressure drove her back to chain-smoking.

@imrainmaker He was trying to convince me I had a specific issue about openness that I was not working on. I was there to get counseling on staying sober, he did not try to hypnotize me in that way.

I also used hypnosis for weight loss, but it had an unintended side effect. The hypnotist’s means of having one enter the trance state was that “you were riding down in an escalator and when you got to the bottom you would be in a trance.” It made me very leery of down escalators (nervous and hesitant to step onto them). Not very useful in the years I traveled more that 50K miles per year for business. There are a lot of escalators in airports.

Wow. That is weird.
That’s a good lesson to be careful with stuff we don’t fully understand.

I did once. The hypnotherapist quit shortly after. Was it something I said? I quoted Balders Gate phrase. The Lord of murder will perish and leave a score of mortal prodigy. The Lord of the perish shall murder a score of mortal prodigy. Did I mention that the hypontist was a Lutheran minister.? Must have freaked him out
