Hypnosis for Self-Help

Can hypnosis be used for Self-Help?

Hypnosis is usually associated with resolving issues such as smoking cessation or weight loss, but there is no reason why it can't be used for more generative purposes such as developing motivation, or programming yourself to work hard.

Usually hypnotherapists work with specific issues so most generative work is performed by people working on their own using self-hypnosis for such purposes - the easiest way being to either use post-hypnotic suggestions for hypnotic self-programming or record your own scripts.

For very specific issues you may find it easier to achieve the results you want with NLP - see PlanetNLP.com for details. By specific I mean that curing a flying phobia is specific, whereas smoking cessation usually requires many smaller changes.

Really there are no internal limits to what can be achieved with hypnosis (though there are obviously a few physical ones), other than your own imagination.
