depersonalization and hypnosis

I recommend meditation. But I can't see how hypnosis could be good for anyone with dp/dr.
I think I would rather smoke some pot then go under hypnosis.

but definately NOT transcendental meditation. that has cause dp/dr in many people.

AGENTC - where did you hear that tm causes dp? I tried tm around the time I got dp, but never correlated the two. I didn't really like meditation, maybe it's too much like my everyday state of mind.

Even regular meditation can be bad if you do to much of it. I was just talking about regular 5-10min meditation in order to focus and calm yourself. Like many thangs meditation is good in moderation.

I say do it. tell me how it works

Achtung!!

I'm DYING to be hypnotized, omg. I want it.

I don't want it to cure my "dp" or anything, I just think it'd be awesome. I even wanted to learn hypnotism before.

I doubt it would be as strong as I would hope, but I dunno.. I can "hypnotize" myself in a way, and it brings me into feeling SOMETHING, which is something I really desire. My feelings are currently numb, which is horrifying. I would love to be hypnotized with my boyfriend there to "protect" me.

It just puts you in a state of relaxation and well-being.

And that's something I've NEVER experienced. I'm intrigued.
Of course, people said that alcohol could do that too, and I get no effect from that.

This could of been a really interesting thread if it wasnt for LOSTONE.

Whats you with you??!

Neil I don't care about interesting.

I care about the truth.

If something is bad then why should we persue it just becuase it is "interesting"?

Crack can be interesting I am sure.

So should we all smoke crack?

What is with me is that I don't want people to screw their heads up even more then they already have.

hypnotherapy doesn't give the hypnotherapist control of your mind at all, please dont listen to some of the posts here saying that it does. Hypnosis is a wonderful experience and you have control all the time

"Hypnosis is a wonderful experience and you have control all the time"

OK.

Then what is the meaning of hypnosis again?

i found a hypnotherapist in my area and i made an appointment for august 13th, i will see how it goes and i will let you all know if its helpful
