I love hypnotherapy. I have issues with anxiety and it definitely helps. Unfortunately, I can't do it to myself-- I think it's harder to self-hypno rather than be guided into it. There's also a difference between mindfulness and being hypnotized. My therapist used to start each session with 20 mins of relaxation and focusing on breathing-- aspects of hypnosis, but I never went into it (hypno).

Have you ever smoked marijuana? To me, it feels a little like that, if I had to compare it to anything-- but without any hint of paranoia or concern. It is the most relaxed state ever. It's like the seconds between being asleep and waking up when you're not fully conscious. It's wonderful.

You should try it. What do you have to lose? :)
