I searched Youtube for hypnosis and I found some guy named Rob who has 183 videos in which he whispers into a microphone. I lol'd. I'm going to try the Hypnosis for Being Alone video, since it's something I've talked about before and plan on exploring further. I'll let you all know how this goes in 21 minutes! Here is the video in case any of you are interested:

What did I just do? That was a supremely odd experience. I couldn't feel my hands... It was like I couldn't move them even if I wanted to, but I didn't want to. I must have fallen asleep during the hypnosis but somehow had enough energy to put my laptop away. This morning I semi-woke up having a good dream and went back to sleep, except I was able to continue the dream. That was so weird. I can't tell if I enjoyed it or not. I suppose I'm mostly curious to find out if it worked or not.
It's hard to remember what Rob was saying, but I think he talked about how being alone can be more of a positive time than negative. I'll see how this rationale affects my upcoming fear confrontation. I don't feel as if I am "cured" of my fear, but maybe it will be less scary.
Although I'm still not sure how I feel about all this, I'm going to try another one tonight. Rob has another video dealing with breaking bad habits, including nail biting, which I have been prone to all my life. I've tried lots of things to get rid of it, but nothing has worked. I'm especially eager to stop now that I have a nail art blog in which I post photos of my own hands. I usually photoshop my cuticles to look nice, but that takes time. I hope this can help me stop.

What a great idea! I think hypnosis itself is a scary thing and you faced that fearlessly. I can't wait to findout how your time alone goes.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered how hypnosis actually works. Thats interesting that you would use this technique to solve any bad habits that you might have. well done!
