Hypnosis

i started to see a new phsychologist this past week and i was explaining that i just have neved been a good diabetic. i also suffered from eating disorders froo the time i was about 16.

So she asked me, "WHY ARE YOU A BAD DIABETIC" and i just said, its programed into me that im a bad diabetic and i tell myself that all the time.

so, she told me about hypnotism and thinks that in my case it may work becuase 98% of our behaviours are subconscious.

wouldnt it be great to switch my belief to IM A GREAT DIABETIC!

my friend was hypnotized for smoking and she hasnt smoked in over 6 years. she was previously a 2 1/2 packer! so please dont judge or squish my hopes on this one. im just really hoping everyone can send my positve thoughts and prayers.

at this point of my life and my complication i will try anything.

i know some people just dont understand people like me but its just what it is. i feel like i cant do it. so i need all the support i can get and i hope i get some kudos for trying something new!

I am a clinical hypnotherapist so my thoughts are biased. I will say that I have helped many people make positive changes in their lives through hypnosis. Just know that it may take 4-6 sessions to complete the thought patterns you currently have.
Also keep in mind that there is a difference between a hypnotist and a clinical hypnotherapist, the latter has more training in the medical field with advanced techniques that hypnotists do not have. Good luck!

Thank you karebear. I’m seeing a clinical hypnotist. It is this Friday coming up and the session is two hours. I’m very excited!

Thank you Shawnmarie… I agree!

New questions “ancient” thread, New questions, if I may. What are the limitations of clinical hypnosis… given your bias?

Hypnosis cannot counteract hypoglycemia obviously, how does one tell if a hypnotist clinical or not, how does one determine if a hypnotist is unskilled or merely a bad match… familiar with the concept vaguely, of hypnosis not experienced with the techniques meaningfully… thought I should inquire…

Bump…

Thought Id see if there were new experience(s) with any practitioners to the site, or the specific technique(s) of hypnosis since the last discussion(s).
