Hypnotherapy
I was reading through my old posts, and this one struck up a chord with me. I've completed my therapy, and after several more sessions of hypnosis, there was not only a change in my level of anxiety immediately after the session, but the more I practiced in addition to hypnosis in his office, the better I was able to deal with the anxiety. In addition to cognitive-behavioral, hypnosis was the icing on the cure cake, if I may be so metaphorical.
Apparently I was an excellent subject; after the first few sessions, I was able to go into a somnambulistic state; so deep I have no memory of the session. He knew about my cannabis use, and encouraged me to smoke before a session if it helped relax me; that made a WORLD of difference. Things seemed so much more fluid and natural when entering trance. He kept requesting if I ever was to have surgery, he would really like to do some work with me prior to surgery to see how it affected my healing time, as he had already worked on a study report of me and a few other patients who had been relieved of anxiety through hypnosis.
I'm having a lot of financial problems right now, and before, I would have completely shut down and not been able to deal with the pressure. Now I use proactive measures to head off the anxiety, and I practice self-hypnosis daily. It's so easy for me now to just slip into trance, and stay in the same mindset for an hour at a time; it really is wonderful, and it's helped tremendously with my pain levels as well. Socially, I've become so much more relaxed and at ease; my eye contact levels have improved beyond what I ever thought they'd be.
I completely recommend hypnosis, it was certainly an unforgettable experience. I can't stop thinking about how positively it's helped my life, in conjunction with cannabis.Purple Banana Reviewed by Purple Banana on . Hypnotherapy As some of you CannaCom folks know, I've got fibromyalgia, a chronic widespread pain syndrome... I was on Lyrica for a while, didn't do much. My primary suggested Ultram, a non-opiate med which works on the same receptors. I took that for 3 months, and stopped because I was actually experiencing withdrawal about 5 hours after I had taken it. I quit immediately, and experienced a terrible withdrawal period of about 3 weeks. Long story short, I AM DONE WITH MEDICATION. I'm tired of the side Rating: 5
