Willow, do you have much experience with hypnosis? Do you think hypnosis CDs might work as well as seeing an actual hypnoT, or is it really worth it to shell out?
I can't be doing much shelling out in the next few weeks/months, as I have to move and don't have a security deposit saved :-X

I did a course in medschool where I was taught a bit of hypnosis, which was really fun and useful. I think it's really helpful when done well. I only had 5 sessions with hypnoT because it was so expensive she thought something should've shifted by then and it hadn't. Personally I have used a self-hypnosis mp3 for relaxation that I had to use for my hypnosis course, which is good for relaxation, but nothing has helped my depression. I've heard it's good for smoking and overeating etc. My problem with hypnosis CDs is that the voice has to be just right or you spend the whole time thinking how annoying their voice is rather than going under. There are some downloadable ones out there with 90 day money back guarantees etc which you could try - nothing to lose!

Personally I think that the CDs are good for relaxation but not as good for other things, although I've heard the stop smoking Paul McKenna ones are supposed to be quite successful. Maybe you could try a few CDs whilst saving up for a hypnoT. They are obscenely expensive though. Mine charged £80/session and it was a few years ago so I'd imagine about £100/session; maybe more as you live in London :s

Hey folks, this thread is past 100 pages so I will be closing it now. We do this because of server loading times. If one of you wanted to start a new Roll Call thread, that would be great. Cheers!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
