As a hypnotherapist I am bound to agree! You can easily find a local hypnotherapist through Google or Yellow Pages. The trouble is that there are many different approaches to hypnotherapy and many people get confused.
Some use an analytical approach, in other words your past and your personality will be examined and there will be a fair amount of regression therapy. Others deal more with looking at your present situation and using direct suggestion and dissociation techniques during hypnosis to help you recover or cope better with your problem. Others incorperate techniques such as Neuro Linguistic programming (NLP).
It's best talk to a few different therapists over the phone before you make up your mind and choose someone helpful who is friendly, sympathetic and has a voice that you like the sound of... voice can be very important. You may also want to establish whether the hypnotherapist has a proven track record of helping people with problems similar to your own. Above all, If the first hypnotherapist you visist doesn't "do it" for you, don't give up!
If you are interested in trying out a little self hypnosis as a taster, you can download a free of charge
script which I use for many of my clients with anxiety related problems, from which you can make your own self hypnosis recording using a tape recorder or computer. daily self-hypnosis can also bring benefits similar to daily meditation.
Although self-hypnosis can often make quite a difference, it is unlikely to compare with live, one-to-one hypnotherapy for a number of reasons, for example, it will not be as thorough, or tailored to your individual needs, personality or situation. You will find many places on the internet marketing ready made hypnosis audio products.
