Question:
I am pregnant
and want to give up smoking but am worried that hypnosis could harm my
baby. Could you tell me if this is true or not?
Answer: I believe that hypnosis would be
perfectly safe for your baby as hypnosis is just an altered state of
consciousness that leads to a comfortable relaxed experience. Naturally
giving up smoking is also a very positive step for you to take for both
your health and that of your child.
Question:
I am self
harming and my doctor tells me it is because of depression. She has given
me medication to help with the depression but it makes me feel really bad.
Can you use hypnotism to cure depression?
Answer: I can
only speak in general terms on this one. Hypnosis can help with
strengthening / enhancing self respect and improve your confidence, but it
is a question of what is causing your depression and leading you to self
harming that is the real issue here. As you are under your doctor's care
for your problem, I feel it would be appropriate to have a talk with her
and see if she feels that the use of hypnosis is appropriate or could
be helpful for you.
