Anyone tried hypnosis?

Hypnosis for Shyness/Social Anxiety - YouTube
I've had pretty good success with using hypnosis and positive affirmations for my social anxiety. It sounds weird, but I promise it's not as new-agey as it sounds . Anyway, I've created my own because I couldn't really find any specifically for social anxiety. I thought someone else might get some use out of it, so give it a try!

Feel free to google hypnosis, positive affirmations, and autosuggestion to gain an idea of what it is.

Oh and by the way, this is a terrible first post. But hello anyway

Welcome to the forums. I haven’t tried it yet but I am intrigued by it.

I tried it back when I was 18, but not for social phobia. I was trying to get rid of this nervous habit where I chew the skin off of my fingers. Back then, I did it pretty bad, often to the point where my fingers were all cracked and bleeding. Hypnosis didn't make it go away completely, but I haven't done it as severely ever since then.
