Hypnotherapy today

I had hypnotherapy today. She suggested a record keeper be created. That all negative alters not come out only positive ones. That my sexual part only comes out in appropriate situations that I have selected time for. That I feel confident and get at least 8 hours of sleep. Not sure I went under. I know at the beginning I was tapping me right foot. I tried to tap it later on as she was talking and I could not move it. I still had rambling thoughts as it was taking place so old if I was under.

I've never done hypnotherapy myself, but I recognize that feeling of not being able to move. Could be that that's a sign.
I wouldn't think that thoughts would necessarily stop if you would be under.

How do you feel about how it went?

Don't know really. I guess I will ask her next session how I would know. Two things she suggested under hypnotherapy didnt work.

I hear you saying two things didn't work. Did anything work? I don't know anything about hypnotherapy, but if it is like others it takes time and is a process - not an instant fix, unfortunately I don't think those exist. If it feels like something that may help you, you are willing to be open to it, and it gives you peace on some level. Give it a few more tries before judging how it went. If it feels harmful in some way then don't continue it for now. I think communicating all your concerns and thoughts with your T about this is a good idea.

We did this with some mindfulness stuff T gave us to work on. It was not the right time for us, but we tried it several times before we made that decision. There was a couple small take aways for us that are now in our toolbox. Just because it isn't right now doesn't mean it won't be right in the future.

Thanks, I need to work on my patience.

Me too. It is that whole "Rome wasn't built in a day". For us our trauma didn't happen overnight, so we are not going to be healed overnight. Many times I wish though. Hang in there. One step at a time.

Thanks Hbodhi
