I have trouble swallowing big pills.  I know it's probably psychological. Do you think hypnosis would help?

No, just break up the pill & put it in your food.

For many people hynotherapy can actually work very well.  Trust me, it's nothing like the old movies--you know, with  the swinging pocket watch and all.  ;-)

Hypnotisim only works with the consent of the one being treated.  It might work if you want to block memories, but souch things tend to "seep out" in other aspects of the personality.

It might, and I stress might, work in the short run, but pill, never work in the long run.  Stick with diet and exercise and that weight loss will be sustainable, not to mention you'll feel better.  Also, the safety of those pills cant be determined to YEARS later.  Some over a decade.  Most of them are not regulated by the FDA.  I would stay away from them in general because you dont know what kind of bad things you can be doing to your body.

Hypnosis works better with certain personalities.  The people who can use it best are people who can become absorbed in reading a book to the point where they tune out time and things going on around them.\n\nHypnosis is really just an ability to become extremely focused on something mentally.  I would think you would want to work with a therapist if you do not know much about it.\n\nI used it to quit smoking  with a hypnotist, twice, 3 years apart.  I tried other quitting methods, gum, support-classes, cold turkey, but getting focused enough to believe "I am a non-smoker" was what worked for me.  After I knew I didn't smoke, the withdrawal symptoms were just something I had to endure for a while, like the flu, and not a call for a cigarette.

:}\nPast studies have investigated the usefulness of hypnosis in pain reduction. Although hypnotic analgesia has been found to be effective, it is generally only those subjects who are highly susceptible to hypnosis who benefit. Some experimenters have found that even low-susceptible subjects can use hypnotic analgesia, if the hypnotic induction uses indirect rather than direct hypnotic suggestions.\n\nhttp://www.hypnosis.com/faq/faq2-7.html\n\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=8407019&dopt=Abstract

Definitely. It is the second most common problem treated by psychiatrists. No. 1 is addicition. See a psychiatrist; he/she should be able to help you overcome the problem.

I have a therapist friend who does hypnotherapy and he often discusses the positive outcomes of the treatment... I was shocked that some of the things treated, namely chronic pain issues, that resulted in highly successful outcomes. I say go for it! Living with a phobia is not easy...there are several methods of treatment with hypnotherapy and flooding being only two of them. Meaning if one doesnt work, dont give up...Good luck and take care!

I used self hypnosis to lose a 122 lbs.  Now I have also used a structure eating program with this as well.  At the end of the day, hypnosis or not, it is still a calorie in has to be less than calorie out equation.  \n\nThere is a large mental element to weight loss.  Your self image has tremendous bearing on your success.  How do you see yourself and can you see yourself being successful.  This is where hypnosis can really help.  \n\nPersonally I would avoid the group sessions.  Just my preference but I don't think the one shot deal is really effective.  I would go either with self hypnosis or using a qualified hypnotherapist.  As a guy with over 300 hours of training on the topic and personally successful in losing weight, I have got a pretty good feel for the topic.\n\nMy personal approach is to combine the hypnosis with a some sort of structured program.  As you replace the bad habit, you have have good ones to fill in.  Hypnosis is a great way to help change habits.  I used Weight Watchers.  Interesting thing is that many of the approaches you would take in hypnotherapy are found on what they call Tools for Life.

Have you had a stroke or some other condition that has induced dysphagia? Or perhaps medication that is impairing your gag reflex (benzodiazepines, neuroleptics, anticonvulsants, some corticosteroids, some antibiotics, anticholinergics, antipsychotics, antiparkinsonian drugs, anxiolytics, etc.)?\n\nDepending on the cause, various treatments ranging from physical therapy to medications exist.  Most popular is of course dietary modification and swallow therapy.  Surgical dilatation can also be done, if warranted and appropriate, as can cricopharyngeal myotomy, where the cricopharyngeus muscle is disrupted to reduce resistance of the pharyngeal outflow tract.  It really depends on the cause in the first place.  The important goal of treatment is to avoid aspiration and improve nutritional status of the patient, so working with a specialist in swallowing disorders to obtain optimum therapy for the individual case is key.\n\nJohns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD has an excellent swallowing center that might be worth looking into.\n\nGood luck!

A friend of mine back in college had this problem.  He took some vocal lessons.  One of the things they told him, is whenever he is driving in the car, or anything like that to read every sign he passes out loud.  There are always tons of billboards, and various signs along the roads.  By reading everything out loud, you become more comfortable with your rate of speach.  It may sound strange, but it actually works!  I would hope you would give it a try.  I wish you all the best of luck in overcoming your stammering.

I have body dysmorphia and nothing has helped me.  I've seen therapists and been on and off some drugs.  It is damn near impossible to change the mental view of yourself and no one outside of yourself and others with the disorder can understand it.  I think you just have to try and trust others.  If you feel that you need to talk more about this...then you can email me at foxyboxy1045@yahoo.com.

Hi,\nHypnosis does really works if you want to learn something, such as stop smoking or have a good sleep.\n\nIn that way it can't help you to remember something, it only helps you to keep something in mind.\n\nI hope this will help you.
