i really wanted to be hypnotized but i couldn't i also have add. could there be a correlation? has anyone with ADD been hypnotized when without meds?

I was hypnotized a few years back and had no problem. I was not on meds.
Anyone else???

I have never been hypnotized but I can not even be relaxed by suggestion...too many thoughts..
I find its more frusterating than relaxing just because I have so many unwanted thoughts going through my head.
I would like to try being hypnotised, but I doubt it would work.

I quit smoking years ago after being hypnotized.

Why do want to hypnotised (don't answer this if it is private or you just don't wan't to say). I would think you couldn't pay attention to the hypnosis guy that is why you couldn't be hypnotised.

Does that really work for ADD? should I give it a try?

I don't think hypnotism would do anything to get rid of ADD. It's the power of suggestion. If our thoughts could stand still and allow to be relaxed I wonder if it would help with things like organization?

I've never been hypnotized. It's not cheap, if I remember correctly what a co-worker said about it. So I guess if you do enough research, think its for you, have a goal in mind (a tangible one) then it can't hurt.

I thought about it getting hypnotized to help me stop smoking but then we got a new resident who's daughter took her to a hypnotist to stop her from scratching holes into her skin. Now all she does is count 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1.wake up Evelyn. No conversation, nothing when you ask her if she's hungry she starts counting, are you in pain? she starts counting. I like numbers if they have dollar signs in front of them but not that much.

he came to my school and i was in the audience

That has got to be the ultimate hypnosis nightmare scenario. Wait, I take that back. I thought of a worse one. I thought of a worse one. I thought of a worse one. I thought of a worse one.....

lmbo steve I just think if your mentally weak you should not attempt it. I mean who in their right mind takes an early Alzheimer's patient to a hypnotist?

It could be even worse; everytime someone rings a bell you could bark like a dog.

Did she stop scratching ?

Me

Ive been hypnotised in a show ... didnt think they would be able to do it ... but they did ...... luckily no after affects though ;)

No, but when her family moved her into the nursing home we noticed right away that she was having an allergic reaction to her lasix and that it wasn't an OCD type behaviour. Put her on Demedex instead of Lasix and the itching and compulsive scratching stopped.

I wounder can you be hypnotised to learn a language, if so tell me and I find a hypnotist.
