Anxiety Support Group

hiya sophie,

I had hypnotherapy for my anxiety last year, i went into it a complete wreck. I had such bad chest pain for days on end, i was convinced i was gonna drop dead...lol. After 10 months, i came away a different person, i still have the odd bad days, dont get me wrong, but im so much better than i was. My advice to you is, make sure the therapist specialises in anxiety and panic, and whatever you do, keep an open mind, some of the stuff will be weird, and you will wonder how its helping.....but just let the therapist do their stuff, i promise you it worked for me, and if you just go with the flow, it will work for you too. Finally....be patient, its not an overnight cure, but stick with it and you will get the rewards. I wish you all the best....let me know how you get on. Freckle.xxx

Thank you. I'm excited now. I found her on the internet: http://www.balance4life.biz/selfhy...
Check it out if you'd like. Your story has inspired me to go with it.

Thanks for the link, very interesting.....glad your excited, its gonna be a new start for you...keep in touch, love to know how you get on. Freckle.xxx

Sophie bear - make sure to post your opinion on how that went on Monday. I'm interested.

I had it a couple of years ago for bad panic..It didnt help me at the time, but settled over the following few months..I think it depends on the type of hypnotheraphy, I had EMDR which is used alot in PSTD.. It helped me process alot of stuff, but dont expect miracles overnight! The good it does kinda creeps up on you.. Good luck! :) xx

Thank you all so much. I'm feeling more confident that this will be a good choice for me. I don't expect overnight success, but wouldn't that be so nice!
I will absolutely keep everyone posted.
Are there any certain questions I should ask?
She said she specializes in anxiety/panic and has done many people for that.

I did hypnotherapy this past February and it has really helped me! I was at a point where after 2 years of feeling back to normal, the anxiety crept back up on me, and I decided to give it a shot.
I went into such a deep trance, that I don't really remember a good chunk of my appointment!

I am still doing well and reaping the benefits now 3 months later. I have my moments where I will feel anxious, but I NEVER have an attack!! I can't tell you how grateful I am for that:)

Don't expect to be "cured", but expect to feel much, much better. Just believe in yourself and believe in your therapist and trust that they are there to help you and you'll come out of this feeling great!!

Please keep us posted!!

Can anyone tell me about how many sessions I'll need? I know it's different for everyone, but how many did you have? Also, what is the cost? Again, I know it's defferent for each place, but I'd like an estimate if possible.
Thanks!

I met with the lady today. She was very nice and I'm going to do it. I'm excited. My first appt is next Tuesday (a week from tomorrow). I'll keep everyone posted! Wish me luck!
