You can not force them to be enthusiastic about your issues, but you could look for an alternative path than depending on them and I think it is why most of us ended up jere
Alexander technique requires an actual teacher. Doing it yourself does very little.Yeah, I use components of the Alexander technique and the other you mentioned. Thank you for your advice.
Here's the rub, though. I read earlier today in a post [can't say off the top of my head which] where someone said [maybe a RP quote and I'm paraphrasing] "That perhaps the mental disorder
would disappear once a thyroid condition was corrected." I have histamine intolerance/mast cell activation syndrome. This is genetic. My body/immune system goes haywire from triggers that aren't necessarily mental. I DO have persistent PTSD and the HIT/MCAS complicate the heck out of it. The symptoms of HIT/MCAS mimic the PTSD and/or trigger it.
I've always said to my therapists [I've been through 5] that one of my main goals is to reduce my physiological symptoms. And I came to the conclusion that these syndromes are why a certain percentage of people don't get over PTSD. Now I find this link in many writings/research. My last and the current therapists understand this and support me in the necessity of treating the HIT/MCAS.
Getting doctors and psychiatrists to understand this is something I stopped attempting to do. They rely on meds so
heavily. that they've lost their intellectual curiosity. I don't take any meds as I am reactive to so many.....and I have the papers to show them why too. Interspersed in their notes is the word NONCOMPLIANT!
Am I making myself clear on this, Hugh? Because I sometimes want to shake doctors out of their apathy!
Do you know what the difference between ignorance and apathy is?...……….I don't know and I don't care!
The field is full of incompetence. Putting a person in a trance is the easiest thing in the world, hell Jason linett has a video of his daughter doing it. It is not necessary, in fact really good ones often avoid trance. But they get results fast.@Hugh Johnson , by hypnosis do you actually mean being put in a trance-like state?
Have a friend that struggles with nausea/vomiting before important soccer games.
Any hypnotherapists, or those that claim to be, that he has seen do not attempt to induce a trance-like state
it is more like they talk in a calm voice and also give him audio files of them to listen to. Has not fixed the problem.

For example Mike Mandel, a ******* legend, has a story where he cured depression in one session by just sniffing electricity as a pattern interrupt. But that is rare.
One of the basic things to do is to teach a person to go into a state where they have resources . That requires a small amount of skill. Really, just go to Facebook and find Mike Mandel, Chris Thompson, David snyder and ask them for a recommendation for a good hypnotist.

Talk therapy is somewhere between useless and harmful. For example anxiety can be cured in 1-5 hours of hypnosis by anyone competent, but talk therapy is designed to maintain the problem while validating the client. So talk therapist can squeeze a lifetime of fees from anxiety patients. That is their business model.
Hypnosis is also effective in many allergies. Elman found that while the allergy did not disappear, removing the emotional component made the symptoms typically so light the client could not notice them subjectively.
Modern techniques like mirroring hands are far more effective for allergies than the old Elman style.
There are answers that do work in hours and minutes rather than years but you have to go outside the mainstream. I feel you about the doctors. I lost my twenties because I wasted time listening to them and the mainstream psychologists .
They are not there to help you. They are there to make money. Jorgen Rasmussen pointed out in his book Provocative Hypnosis that the primary value of most therapists is comfort. Healing is not comfortable. It requires change, courage and is inherently an insecure endeavour.
People are cats, not balls. To heal a person is like kicking a cat, you have no idea what the reaction is and you have to deal with that. But mainstream just wants predictability. That we are balls that can be kicked and we react with set rules.
No one I can vouch for. I would go to Mike Mandel Hypnosis facebook page and ask a recommendation. The worst thing they can do is ban you from a group you never use anyway. But there are a large number of great hypnotists there, and those guys have taught a lot of great practioners. In addition, there are training groups like this one:Thanks. Know any Australians?
You can a apply inverted thoughts to this connection. Once, a yoga student complained to their instructor how the poses were painful to do. The teacher said to him, "Stop scrunching your face like it's going to hurt."
How do you do that
Amen.Practice listening rather than thinking. In other words, practice listening to actual sounds rather than to the movies (voices) going on in the mind (which are really just re-runs). Ever notice how musicians can tend to be laid back and easy to get along with? They by necessity are very attentive to sounds. One path is living in images of reality (the mind), the other path is living in reality (the whole being). So the battle is between image and reality. Once you start listening you will hear the still (peaceful), small voice within. It will guide you.
Wow thanks for this post. It works wonderfullyRight now. Just tell your body and mind that you are safe, you have food to eat and a place to sleep. That the place you are in is perfectly safe and there are no real worries right now.
Just do it. Turn your attention inwards and assure your body you are safe and all your needs are met. You should notice unnecessary stress dissolving, because it is likely that you are using your memory an imagination to create threats where there are none and your body responds to them.
