Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 While stranded in an airport not too long ago, I purchased "The Idiot's Guide to Hypnosis." Like most of the Idiot's and Dummie's guides, it's pretty straightforward and upfront. (Low woo-woo factor.) I've been hypnotized before by a professional, to no effect, many years ago when I was still trying to quit smoking. Nevertheless, I thought I'd give this book a chance and try my hand at self-hypnosis for reducing emotional food cravings, or in general terms, the desire for food when not hungry. Given my prior experience, and having read the Scientific American article awhile back on hypnosis, I was pretty skeptical. I thus have been experimenting with self-hypnosis for reducing my psychological appetite for food. Unfortunately, I can't say that it has done diddly for me, and wonder if I'm just one of those folks who isn't particularly hypnotizable. Before abandoning this experiment, however, I'd like to know if anyone out there has tried similar experiments with hypnosis, and with what degree of success?
