Hi everyone,
went for my first session on Mon and she was amazing!! Really intelligent woman, works with the police, nhs, womens aid, shelter and sleep scotland. She was a teacher for a long time before taking up councelling, cbt and hypnotising. She taled to me for over an hour asking millions of questions about myself, why I eat ect before hypnotising me for 45mins. She discussed with me in depth the hypnoband anhd said that from what I have told her I could really gain from a mixture of both the hypnoband and also cbt and something called the write diet which she also does, she said she would not charge me any extra for the mixture she just felt it would be very beneficial for me. I am home with a cd from the write diet to listen to every night until my next session next Tues. Track 1 is the write diet and track 2 is more a confidence building track. Her councelling skills came right in to play and she actually had me in tears, you can tell why she works with womens aid!! Anyway, I am feeling pretty confident this is going to work. I already haen't eating anything "naughty" and feel I don't want to, I am hungry but I eat healthily already and don't think about it.
One question about being hypnotised though - can you remember everything that's been said ect? Nikki said that i would remember everything and might even feel like im not being hypnotised as I will be very conscious and may have thought hypnotism would mean I would be in a state of sleep which I would not be and I wasn't. I felt very relaxed but totally with it and did a couple of times feel like it was going on on iykwim lol!
