Alright, so I thought I'd throw this out there since I'm sure it'll be an interesting topic for some and hopefully an informative one for others (like me!).

There are an awful lot of self-hypnosis programs out there..CDs, mp3s, etc. Now, here's my question--a lot of them advertise things like improving self confidence and erasing fears of approaching women (I'm sure you can see where this is going)...anyways, can any of you relate to whether or not they work? It's sort of an affliction I've been suffering from lately, so I suppose if this will help tear down the giant, invisible wall, it would be awesome.

It has definitely worked for me!

In the past, I've used it for boosting memory, confidence, and martial arts skill.

You have to do it consistently, though, and it can take a couple of weeks before you feel the effects strongly.

When I used it twice a day, for about 15 to 20 mins a day, I started feeling a difference after 2 weeks. After 3 to 4 weeks, it was in full force - I could feel it strongly, and other people noticed a difference too.

Yes we have discussed this topic before. And yes in my experience it does work.
Do a search on the topic and you will find some interesting threads.

But why in the Social & Relationship forum?

Ehh, probably because that's what my hypnosis questions relate to. I'm trying to find the best program for my "issues," but seem to be having quite a bit of trouble...seems like there are a billion CDs/mp3s out there, but I just don't know what the best are! Any suggestions?

Well I do self-hypnosis tapes. I make them by myself. English is not my primary language so I guess I believe my subconscious does not think in English so I do them i my native language.

When I used the process, I've tended to make up my own suggestions and record them myself too (or just type them out in a big font and read them over and over again when I'm in trance). I always figured that I knew what aspects of the subject I didn't feel confident about, so could customize my suggestion to be most effective for me.

Marinik, have you noticed better results when you use your own voice as opposed to someone else's?

Yes I have. As I said in one of the threads I play the mp3 at night while I sleep for a month. The last one about being full and satisfied with food definitely worked.

scotthegeek · 03-20-2011, 06:13 PM

if you think it work it will and a did see study about approaches to therapy and it said that hypnosis works best if its used in conjunction with other therapies. I do have some tapes and they calm me and make me feel good and that good thing in and of itself.

Any suggestions on hypnosis programs? Well, ones specifically tailored to what I listed in the original post?

I repped you but I'd figure I'd go ahead and say thank you here, too.

Thank you.

Yes, I've used it. But as other poster says you have to do it consistently. I went and saw a hypnotherapist and after a few sessiosn he gave me his CD. The problem is if you dont listen to the CD all the time, eventually the feeling wears off or the CD doesnt have the same effect because its been so long since you saw the therapist.

holycrackers · 03-20-2011, 11:42 PM

But...do you guys have any specific people/therapists/downloads you can recommend? If I'm going to spend money on this, I definitely want a reputable one that works!

I've seen a great hypnotist perform stage hypnosis in person and I talked to him afterwards. He is definitely the real thing and so is the show.

I would say if he can hypnotize random strangers into doing crazy and hilarious things without any fear or nervousness at all, then hypnosis could most definitely be used to at least give someone more self-confidence in life.
