Has anyone tried hypnotherapy? I’m at my wits end

Hi @HOT ,

I am feeling a bit concerned with so much going on for you right now and the intensity of the feelings you've expressed, I'm just letting you know I'm going to drop you an email now and we are all here to support you. Thanks so much for coming to the SANE forums and sharing so courageously, we are very glad you are here.

Kindest regards,

Otter

Hi @HOT

It sounds as if you have reached the lowest of low points and this is actually a good place because it means you have no where to go but up - and I am so glad you have reached out here and I would like to take this chance to welcome you to the forum

I have done something called Cathartic Hypnotherapy - this takes a huge commitment but it was worth it. I was encouraged to yell at my mother - of course - she wasn't there - He practised from his home. I don't know what his neighbours thought but that was not my problem

It worked - over time I got over my anger - and even after my sessions with this man ceased I was able to understand things and self-settle - and I can also hypnotise myself now

I don't know if this therapy helps with feelings of self-worth - or the lack of it - I don't know if it helps with despression. It certainly helps with anxiety, anger and fear.

You can only try - possibly it's a case of can you afford it - we get 10 subsidized sessions with a psychologist a year and that's not much -

I wish you the best with it - it sounds that right now you can't get any worse and you are totally fed up with your situation - it sounds like the right time to reach out and grasp at an opporunity and hold onto it with both hands

Thank you, @Z67 really appreciate it. I hope you are feeling a bit better 😞

Hi @Owlunar i'm glad to hear it worked somewhat for you. I have a Drs app on Friday to get yet another mental health plan and booked with the psychologist next week for the hypnotherapy, it is called something different to the one you mentioned so I will have to read up on them both. I have severe anxiety but it is mainly caused by my low self worth. Plus managing it all on top of my boss pressuring me to work from home at the moment is really stressful. But she wouldn't understand.

Sorry @Otter for the delay in getting back to you. I didn't realise how down I really sound. I wouldn't hurt myself. I'm home with my 2 children. I don't want to live in the fact I can't function. My children are completely safe and old enough to care for themselves and they are not aware of anything. I hold myself together too much sometimes to appear like all is fine when it is completely the opposite. I just can't look after myself in the way of showering or caring about anything right now but I am going to the Drs on Friday and I'm safe. Thank you for caring 🙂

@Serenity1 That is soo awesome to hear you had help. I can't imagine how that would of felt. My mum is the worst and it is giving me anxiety imagining how hard that would of been. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm getting so excited at the thought of something finally helping me!! Thank you again 💗
