Hi all,

I've been using a self-hypnosis audio to make myself appear more calm, relaxed, and mental peace for about a week. At the same time I also use a alpha brainwave entrainment CD for the same purpose. I use the self-hypnosis each night and the brainwave entrainment usually in the morning or afternoon. Basically my goal is to be more relaxed, calm and composed in any situation where anxiety kicks in. I was never a hot tempered person.

After one week of using it, I found myself in a heated argument with my friend. At that moment I became easily agitated hot tempered by small things and raise my voice at my friend. Luckily we didn't get into a fight and we're cool about it after some time. Five days later, I got into another heated argument with another friend in another place. This time is worse than before and it looks like we're going into a fight, but thankfully that didn't happen. I couldn't keep my composure and raised my voice at him and it turned into an ugly argument. It was my fault for taking things too seriously and I was actually the one who started the argument.

When I go home and think about those two occassions, I think to myself that all the self-hypnosis and brainwave entrainment are suppose to make me calm and composed but what happened is the other way round. Is this normal? Or is there something wrong somewhere?

All your opinions and comments will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
