Does Self Hypnosis Really Work?

[Henrietta]

Does this work in any way shape or form? Do you know anyone that has used this technique to get more from their brains and lives and if so could you recommend me some cd's, books or youtube links?

It can work. It's all about you giving suggestions to your own subconscious mind.

This is a decent book that explains the techniques and how to apply them for different outcomes, such as stress, self-confidence, pain relief, etc.

It can work as I had a psychologist teach me how to do this.

This was for relaxation purposes though, so what you want out of it, get more from brain and life, may be beyond self hypnosis.

You could get an interview with a free mental health clinic and ask first about self hypnosis and see if they will accommodate you
