Has anyone tried hypnosis therapy?

What were your results? Did you find it helpful? Did it change your life or was it a waste of money?

I have a friend who swears by it. She started going to help her depression and anxiety. Said it changed her life for the better. So I figured I’d give it a try. I’m trying it for the same reasons. I’ve done traditional talk therapy for many years and didn’t find it helpful at all. I read a study that 6 treatments of hypnosis therapy was found to be more effective than 6 treatments of talk therapy. I’ve done 2 treatments of hypnosis so far and I think it might be helping a bit but hard to tell. Might be too soon to know for sure.

Yes. I've tried EMDR therapy for PTSD. Very powerful therapy if you ask me. But I had to make it through a visualizing test first, it takes a very visually strong mind for hypnosis to work my therapist told me. My boyfriend tried EMDR too and nothing happened. So it's very individual if it will work on you or not. I personally worked on each session result, the imagery that shown and analyzingit from different perspectives and sometimes adjusting the memories, that's how I noticed an improvement.
