I've been hypnotized many times during psychotherapy and it has worked well for me, esp. in the treatment of panic attacks. I went initially to quit smoking (it worked well). My therapist, Helen, used it on me for regression to deal with childhood problems (abuse & abandonement) and other family issues. It was very effective because I trusted her completely and she is a licensed professional. I got over some serious fears and felt healed & able to forget what a 'panic attack' felt like. They used to keep me from being able to function normally.

The best part is when you finish a session, you feel like you are awaking from a deep peaceful sleep and you are so well rested, happy & relaxed. I didn't even remember the abuse activities but apparently I described it to Helen clear enough under hypnosis -that this information helped her treat my problems accurately. Good stuff.

So
take a deep breath
and
listen to the sound of my voice....close your eyes....
