It does work for some people. I suspect for things like phobias it may work better than other things. I think my problem was partly my cynicism of it, partly my struggling to relax so my mind would wander off and I effectively wasn't paying attention at points, and partly difficulty of overcoming what I was there for.

I am tempted to try it. Im reafy paul McKennas book and listening to the cd. Its pretty good to be honest. But i think for phobia i need one to one. I am flying in march so realisitcally i want to do it next month right before i fly. 45 minutes ago, mjmooney said: I knew a woman who used hypnosis to quit smoking.

Hopefully works with phobias if i could go on planes and enjoy the experience that would transform my life. Thats the only fear i really have.

You'll need to have a few sessions id imagine and you need to leave time between them so I'd try to book it asap if you want a chance at doing it before March.

Flip it and the springs come away from the surface. That should get rid of most the buzz. A packet of tissues inserted between springs and skin on the base should completely shut it up. 4 hours ago, chrisp65 said: Sounds fine to me!

But once I've assumed the listening position, sprawled across a bean bag it has to get really irritating before I'll get back up and walk the 8 paces to flip it. To be honest, if I've got a bit of Scratch Perry on, I'm never sure what's music and what's a combo of police helicopter and a buckle going around the washing machine. Last day off work today, so it's rum n dub night tonight. I'll get the whole conservatory buzzing. --- I do suspect my ears are not 100% anymore. I do like a speaker that thumps you in the chest.

Near death experience on a plane. Was flying back from florida years ago and our plane caught a tail of a hurricane and suddenly the plan started dropping and I MEAN DROPPING not a lil blip. The food trolleys all fell over people were screaming praying The flight attendants were shitting themselves too. Luckily the pilot managed to take us out of it after 20 minutes or so. It was **** scarey mate. I was ok with flying but since then i hate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
