I have recently heard about the use of hypnosis as a way to reduce stress and tension. Has anyone had any experiences with that? I read a bit about hypnosis, self hypnosis and relaxation strategies and was surprised to learn that it is a safe and in most cases affective way to reduce stress and anxiety. I also learnt that you are not actually unconscious during it and have full awareness of the environment around you. There was also a lot on focussing on breathing and in the process, 'letting go' of all tension. Apparently you can do all this in your own home if you set aside 20 minutes each day to allow yourself to achieve that relaxed state. I have problems with anxiety and still get panic attacks even with the medication I am on so I was wondering if this might be helpful. If anyone has tried this I would love to hear about your experiences.
