Hypnosis for me was very much a starting point; a safe place where I had the opportunity to explore events in my past, which I had buried away. The aim of the hypnotherapy was to help with my anxiety and very bad panic attacks. I have been having panic attacks for a few years now and since medication didn't help, I wanted to explore the option of hypnosis.

 

I had many reservations going into hypnosis. When I met Rhi, I felt a connection to her. I felt at ease to try something new. She explained the process to me and eased some of my concerns. One of these concerns was having little control when under. However, this was not the case for me. I entered hypnosis with ease and was in full control throughout the session. My session lasted approx 90 mins, but the time went quickly and I didn't feel any way out of touch with reality. I was guided through events in my past, which at times, became emotional.

 

However, using the tool of hypnosis, I explored my subconscious and learned some pieces of information about myself and my past, which contributes to the anxiety and self doubt that I have today. The goal of never having another panic attack was not achieved by hypnosis,  however the benefits that I gained of understanding myself better and having the ability now to be kinder to myself, made the experience one in which I would highly recommend. The road to recovery is a long one but doing the hypnotherapy session with Rhiannon was a great first step in understanding myself.
