Hypnotherapy for anxiety/phobia/addiction?
I went sometimes but my hypnotherapist, refused to continue the sessions cause she tough it would trigger me to do something crazy. I never understand that. Anyway she had prejudice on me cause I don't believe in god the same way she do. Its like she want to brainwash me with religion.

Well I saw a trauma therapist for a time, and it wasn't really hypnotherapy...It was simular to EMDR which is eye movement desenitization...but what I did was a little different, it was more a device with a feedback button that vibrated and may have had headphones, for some reason can't quite remember right now. But yeah the idea was to release past trauma rather than trying to analyze all the causes for it. I was very skeptical at first but it has seemed to help. I mean still not hypnotherapy but certainly was kind of based on putting your mind in a state you could realize what it was that was getting to you...so perhaps a little simular.

I think it is well worth looking into. My first Councillor thought about it but confessed she didnt think she would be able to put me under. Not sure why, maybe just being aware of everything and maybe not wanting to give into suggestion. It can be effective.. Just have to watch some of Derren Browns videos to see how effective it is and how easy the general populous are susceptible to suggestion... I think it is an individual thing but again something worth looking into... Might even try and find someone myself and give it a go. Have found the topic interesting for a number of years.
I'm not sure Derren Brown is a good example as I think a lot of his show is entertainment and hints that it's all staged.
Unless your talking about videos that just involve therapy which I haven't seen.

No, his shows are very much not staged in the sense of having shills. He is very genuine and in essence shows how easy ones mind can be put under and also influenced for short and long term. Even though his shows are of entertainment value much of what he does can be very thought provoking. Including how he influenced an entire village to believe in a made up story about a dog and touching it bringing good luck. Through power of suggestion many people started to fall for that and felt lucky and happier. So yes i think he shows some very good positive examples of suggestion and hypnosis.

Do you mean neurofeedback?
I've read some articles on that as well.

Even though he is good, i hold similar view. Wouldn't want him too close to me either! haha Unless for clinical reasons.
