I'm curious about hypnosis... yet nothing seems to work?

As far as the self help hypnosis videos go, it's true they are worthless. The ones that cost a bit are the ones that work. The thing you are failing at in relation to the outcome not being positive is 2 fold. 1) you are not buying into the hypnosis. and 2) you are not relying on the one thing that makes them work best. Repetition! My wife had a hypnotist help her lose weight. It didn't work. He came back from the bathroom with a few wet spots on his pants and that was all she could think of. $250 down the drain. 20 years later she picks up a DVD /CD hypnosis on losing weight and 6 months later she is over 66 pounds lighter. What was the key? She believed it could work and she watched the video, and listened to the C/D repetitively. The video she watched 3 times, but, the audio she listens to once or twice a day, every day. This repetition is what ingrains the thought into her mind. So, if you want to succeed in whatever area you are trying the hypnosis in, remember to buy into it and repetition of the suggestions. If you want the name of the hypnotist e-mail me. My wife is at work but I can call her and get you the information and maybe even send you the audio somehow (kids are computer genius's freaks me out what they can do)
