Have you ever been hypnotised for theraputic reasons?

I sometimes think about this for C's sleep issues, not that I would really have it done to her, but more wish there is something I could do to help with her reasons for waking up.

I think I would give it a go.

She wakes up frequently, more to be near me than anything else. :/

My parents were hypnotized to stop smoking; it had a 50% success rate in their cohort with an n of 2. heh

Does your daughter have separation anxiety generally speaking, or just at night?

[frkls]

how old is she again? has she always been like that, or is it a sleep regression thing?

my mom used hypnosis to quit smoking, but it didn't help her with weight loss. my dad tried it to quit smoking and it didn't work at all. weird.

Have you gone down the therapy road with her yet? It has really seemed to help L in the sleep department. She's in her bed and falls asleep without one of us in there more nights than not now. She used to get really afraid and want us there.

My dad and uncle got hypnotized to quit smoking. Neither of them touched a cigarette again. That was nearly 30 years ago. I don't know anything about it for kids or sleep purposes, sorry.

I want to for my anxiety. I'm not ashamed to admit that it's as a direct result of reading "The Hypnotist's Love Story". The book wasn't great but it did make me curious about the power of hypnosis.

My H does for his anxiety. He was able to use it to quit using tobacco. He feels like he gets a lot out of it.

My kids and I listen to an app called Sleep Deeply by Darren Marks that we really like. He also has a confidence app that I've used, but I think I fall asleep before I hear the message. Probably can't hurt to hear it though.

I tried Hypnobirthing, but I still ended up asking for drugs

My kids like the Sleep Deeply app but they never had major sleep problems. I did have to cool it with the app because my son started to not want to go to bed without it.

Have you seen a pediatric neurologist that is a sleep specialist?  Ours has helped us so much over the years. You might want to consider this.

I have been, for anxiety/imposter syndrome issues related to my last job. It really did make a difference for me and I would absolutely do it again if I felt I needed it. I'm not sure how effective it would be on kids, but it can't hurt!

ETA: Mine was through a regular therapists found via my EAP, so no cost to me. Maybe worth looking into!

I do hypnosis audio downloads for parts of my life I'm working on (Darren Marks Total Confidence and Success is my standard bedtime routine before a big meeting or presentation). For me, it really seems to work

[Linie]

Yes, I have done it several times some years ago for anxiety/abandonment issues. I felt great afterwards.

I really liked the book!  I totally want to try it after reading it.
