Self Hypnosis

I am interested in self hypnosis for Social Phobia, but I don't know of any reliable sources. I don't know if anyone has tried doing it on their own, but I would like to give it a try because there aren't really any places where I live for hypnosis.

It works for some people I'm sure. But for me, I can never get into that zone. As a skeptic by nature, anything that involves believing just doesn't work for me.
I do like optical illusions though. What are those called.. you know the 3d pictures where if you stare at it long enough you'll see it pop out. Those are fun.
Hypnosis, I just don't see it working without believing it will work first.

Yeah, I think it could work for some people. I have never tried it, so I don't know if it would work for me. I just thought it couldn't hurt to try. Thanks for the link

Belief has little to do with it. The idea is to get you into a trance, so the ego steps aside and every suggestion filters straight through to your subconcious. You can believe or not believe and the results will be the same provided you are not intentionally or un-intentionally blocking it, and of course that you can move the ego aside.
