Sunrise,

Thanks for the response. I can see how some types of therapy can be different in many ways.

As a rule of thumb, currently I don't know of any insurance companies covering hypnosis unless it's being done by a Licensed Counciler or therapist. The other thing I've come to realize is that alot of councliers and therapists are using hypnosis- but not calling it hypnosis. From a person like me who is always trying to spread the word about how wonderful and powerful of a tool it is. I think this stinks.

I have talk to so many people on this site, in chat, PM's and Forums that have used self-hypnosis or been to a hypnotherapist with wonderful resutls. Yet alot of them seem to hide, not wanting to tell the group as a whole about the wonderful benefits.

I know that hypnosis is not the answer to every issue. And in alot of cases it is best used as complementary to traditional therapy and meds. Yet I don't quite understand with all of the research and articles writen by very reputable sources, why some people would rather suffer with their issues then use hypnosis.

I myself would use ANYTHING to heal and get better. But that is me.
