Hypnotherapy for anxiety.

I also hope the hypnotherapy helps your daughter, shysal. Overwhelming anxiety is so debilitating. I believe it can be very effective for many people but like any therapeutic intervention doesn't suit all. If it isn't the answer for her please do consider some CBT for anxiety and panic, which should be available via her GP. Wishing her a positive outcome.

I think research has shown that some people are more susceptible than others to hypnotherapy. I had a few sessions to deal with fear of flying and they were spectacularly successful.

I had hypnotherapy with my doctor who specialised in it unfortunately it had no effect on me at all I was really disappointed
I d be very suspicious of someone who said they had a 100% success rate very unlikely indeed, however I sincerely hope it works for her, it's good for many people and why not her wishing her well

DD went for her free consultation and liked the chap a lot. He doesn't 'do' regression, says he is all about taking her forward, which I think will be good for her. She has already been given a recording for her phone to listen to at bedtime. He was optimistic that he can help her, says he has 100% success rate , so we shall see. First proper session on Monday, (£30, mates rates as a colleague recommended him to her). It will be worth every penny if it helps.

CBT type therapy helped me. I managed to draw a line under the damage done by a controlling father.

I do agree that its all about the relationship you can build with a therapist...whatever the method.

My DD has had hypnotherapy and it's worked particularly well for specific anxiety: the first time it was about flying, ahead of a holiday in Thailand, and the results were incredible! Hope it works as well for your DD. It's important to find someone she relates to, so if it doesn't work the first time, try a different therapist.

I'll be watching this thread.
My D has very similar problems also caused by a controlling ex.
I have no experience but sincerely hope it helps your D
