I gave hypnotherapy a go for my first time in December. It's actually been quite helpful in all aspects of my life, gaining control over my issues and getting rid of them. As a result I'm a much calmer person, happy and not easily as ruffled as I have been in the past.
Don't thumb your nose up at hypnotherapy because it's something different. Sometimes you have to think outside your box, give it a try if there is some issue you are having problems dealing with and have had no luck in dealing with it. You'll be amazed at the results. I certainly was! It's changed my life!
