Has anyone tried hypnosis? (with a therapist...not just tapes)

If so, did you see any results? Did it seem to help at all? I'm not looking for a "magic pill" here...just something to help with the emotional eating and motivation.

There is one guy I've heard some good things about...and it has me....intrigued.

Hey there greeneyes!
I actually did hypnosis. My thyroid dcotor recommended it. It was kind of costly, but it really works and it was spread out over time. I lost weight amazingly fast. I was provided with tapes to use at home as well. I had to tell him what I wanted to do more of and what I didn't want to do anymore. I didn't want to drink sprite anymore. I wanted to eat seafood. It didn't make me want to try it enough though, although I did think about it a few times. I wanted to eat less pasta. I am thankful to say that it did work. Not only did I cut way down on pasta, I don't even want it like I used to. Everyone once in a while, I;ll get a craving for it, but really that craving is what I ate with it that I really want. I walked out of his office that day and haven't touched Sprite since, I came home and threw out a wonderful oreeo cookie pie. Not only did I give up Sprite, but I also gave up every other drink except water. On occassion I will have unsweet tea or maybe some juice. That has been almost 3 years ago. I oreder a cherry limeaide from sonic last year, (they are made with sprite) I took one dirnk and it made me so sick. I was totally not used to the sugar. So... It worked wonders for me as long as I kept it up at home with the tapes. I would have loved to have had a weekly visit with him, but live too far away. I stopped the tapes, but plan to start them back. It is so relaxing! If you have any other questions, I will do my best to answer them.
