CBT and hypnotherapy

[hotpink]

Hello I'm fairly new.

I've been referred for CBT by my GP (haven;t heard anything yet, am expecting to wait about 6 weeks). Just wondered if anyone had tried it and how they found it?

Also, I was moaning to a friend recently who told me she had been to see a hypnotherapist as she felt her depression returning (not p-n depression) and absolutely raved about it. She said it was like someone turning on a switch (??) Has anyone tried this either? Bit dubious, but desparate for something to put an end to this ongoing illness.

Hi

I had hypnotherapy years ago when I had a bit of depression again- not sure I was completely hypnotised as you could open your eyes at any second if you wanted to. It was incredibly relaxing though and I felt off the planet in a good way for a couple of hours afterwards!!!!!

The best alternative suff I've ever had is reiki - that's where someone runs hands about 6inches above you and uses energies to draw out your negative energies. It was so strange - the weirdest was on the top of my back where I felt a bubbling sensation - that's where the woman concentrated longest and she said afterwards she could feel the tenson just in this one spot. It was very amazing! It honestly felt like a bubbling, popping feeling from somewhere inside!

My cpn is talking about referring me for CBT too - not quite sure about it but Yoyo pointed me in the direction of some other threads on it - cant quite remember where they are but think the link is in a thread by me in this section called 'more meds and stuff'.

Love
Marion.
