NO!
Stay off my road.
yes, if you let it
I used hypnobirthing and survived 36 hours of back labor without drugs… soooo, I guess hypnosis can work for anything.
yes without a doubt
yes
hypnosis works only on highly suggestible people. If you devoutly believe it won’t work, it probably won’t. If you have faith it WILL work, it does. I have a friend that is an assistant to a hypnotherapist. To prove the skill, they interview audience members, and only use the non skeptics.
It can. Having someone in the car with you can lessen anxiety also. I know you cannot always have someone with you, but get people to ride around with you for a while while you do different errands. You will be surprised how much that can help you.
See the links below…also, try Dramamine (R). It is an over the counter product that is renown for reducing "car sickness".
Drive routes that give you less anxiety if possible. hypnosis only works on people who let it work.
Anything will work if you believe and allow it!
Sure, why not?
Andrea,
I think it works or not on different levels differently for different people. I have panic attacks when I drive on the highway, so, I don’t drive on the highway. Not since 1994.
Couldn’t hurt to try I guess. Good luck.
No particular reason why it wouldn’t.
Here’s a few coz I’m feeling pesimistic today;
dodgy hypnotherapist (fortunately there aren’t that many around!)
You own stuborness (like some other answers say "you gotta believe" ! ! (welcome to church!))
It works a little too well, and you lose rational fear when driving; start driving like a complete maniac and then either crash or get arrested.
Oh well, hope I haven’t put too much of a downer on your day.
This is probably like the worst case scenario init!
But It’s good to get these concerns out.
I used it to stop smoking its been almost 6 years, I felt it took me wanting it to work and it actually working.
