I'd particularly like to hear from anyone that have cured driving anxiety with hypnosis. But I'm about to spend a lot of money so anyone's experience of hypnosis is appreciated x

My DH, he had severe anxiety and phobias all his life (his mother walked out on her young kids went off with another man) many years on anti deps. He's from sarf London was on the motor trade, didn't "believe" in hypnosis! (I actually ended up on stage with Darren Brown and after the show so many people asked if I secretly worked with him!My ds recommended this lady. DH was given a disk he was meant to listen to,to get used to her voice....he didn't! Course he didn't... then he had his appointment. Came home,it weirdly "cured" his extreme fear of spiders, although they weren't mentioned. He told me he wasn't hypnotized, then that she told him that he had a magnet on his forehead and to put his hand on it. I asked what happened, guess what...he couldn't remove his hand. This was a long time ago,it wasn't cheap, he kept making excuses for not going. After 3 sessions, any further sessions were free. It didn't last for ever, but he didn't go back.

Following with interest. I've developed anxiety around driving, particularly around joining the motorway and roundabouts!

I was hypnotised to quit smoking it worked. If you go on you tube there are millions of hypnosis, specify your needs n try at home.

Wow! How long have you been off the cigarettes?

Any YouTube channels you'd recommend?
