Hypnoanalysis

[Wenders]

Hello everyone, I am new to posting here.

I am 33, female and would say I have been a social phobic for as long as I can remember and my problem was at its worst this summer. It was just disabling to me. I would function, I would go to work and stuff but I found it quite distressing at times; the blushing was the worst, I was so ashamed of my reaction. I just felt inferior to everyone.

Since 15 I started on beta blockers to cope with anxiety and then progressed through various anti-depressants over the years as well as having met several counsellers and psychologists over the years; some with varying results. I haven't seen anyone or taken medication for about 2 years now but over the summer this year I was flagging. I just couldn't take it anymore and was ready to try ANYTHING to make my life a bit more tolerable.

I can barely believe I am writing these words because I'm the most cynical person going but I want to give some hope and perhaps an answer to anyone who was suffering as much as I was.

I am flying the flag for hypnoanalysis. I thought it would be for cranks, it was just a way of scamming money and would fill my head with rubbish. But what's happened to me has been truly life changing, I just can't believe the change in me. It took me 12 sessions with a patient therapist and despite my cynicism of the treatment we really did crack it in the end, my sub conscious mind knew what was making me a social phobic.

The downside is it cost £500 but it was the best £500 I have ever spent and even if there was a zero added on to the end of that, to feel how I feel now it would have been worth it. I feel like my mind has been re-programmed, I feel I have my life back, I feel strong, confident, worthy, in control. I feel I could stand in front of a group of people and read out loud. I feel like the person I always knew I was yet wasn't able to be.

I believe this treatment has a high success rate. I would encourage anyone to try this treatment because it has truly changed my life. I feel so excited for the future, its like starting all over again.

Hello Wenders welcome to the forum
Glad to hear you are feeling better and that you found a therapy which helped you come to terms with SP. Do you mind if I ask what it was you learned was making you socially phobic?

Thanks, Okkamsrazor.

I learned that something traumatic happened to me as a small child that I had repressed. Now, whether it really happened as I relayed it or there was a bit of false memory in there is not very important - the important thing is some major emotions were connected to this event and they have now been addressed. I also personally believe there was something in the background music played on the tapes with positive subliminal messaging, though my therapist insists not.

Basically it was not anything remotely simple or relative to like standing in front of people and forgetting what I had to say, absolutely nothing that simple. But what it was affected how I felt about myself (ie not very much). On the final session I had a very peculiar feeling whilst in deep hypnosis where something popped into my head - and that was what we were looking to address along with those emotions, it was quite overwhelming.

If interested, check out Pure Hypnotherapy as practiced by the IAH on the net, that's what I went through. Might sound a bit cranky but from my experience it worked.

Good luck x
