I am seeing a counselor who wants to try hypnosis to get deeper into underlying issues with stress and anxiety. i am afraid of not having control, something bad happening, and not even sure it works. don’t want to say anything i am not ready to talk about, or possibly say something that i don’t understand when i am not under hypnosis. anyone have any experience?

I had hypnosis for several reasons. My hypnotist was a man and I was nervous, but he explained that you couldn’t be made to do anything you don’t want to when you’re hypnotised as although the person with you is guiding you, you still have complete control and can bring yourself out of the trance whenever you feel uncomfortable.
Hi.
A) Yes, it works, but not for everyone, especially if you have excessive anxiety attached to the process.
B) Nothing bad will happen and you won’t do anything under hypnosis it is not in character for you to do.
C) If you say something you don’t understand, you may have to do a few sessions until the surrounding details emerge.
Don’t be afraid. It can be an amazing experience and no reputable hypno-therapist is going to use the process to compromise you.
Could it be you’re afraid of confronting something you’re not sure you’re ready to confront? Only you can know when you have gotten to the point where the not knowing and the consequences of not knowing are harder to handle than the truth.
It does set you free…
Good luck.
Oh, and yes, I’ve done it and would gladly do it again.
UPDATE:
I’m sorry, I hate doing this, but I have to do this. Everything Nick said about hypnosis is right, but, I think that if you go into any therapy of any kind not wanting to show your therapist the good, the bad and the ugly, you are wasting your time even being there. Do you want to get better or not?
It works sorta like turning of your consicousness and bring your subconsicousness forward, you can see everything still and still hear what your saying but its like out of body sorta, But it can help devulge some of your thought process you your self have not the ablity to tap into or have repressed. DANGER: if you have something you want know one to know then dont do it. It reavels your chracter to anyone who does it and brings your true thoughts out. But yea if you cant tap into your subconsicous already or repressed something realyl badly as a kid then it helps unlock your head also can prevent tumors since repente memories are like viruses locked away behind bars slowly chipinng away. Your brains alot like a computer, but it would take me all day to explain the whole process to you. so have fun
In hypnosis you will have the closest thing to complete control you can experience. If you will follow instructions it will be one of the most positive things you will ever do. Yes it will work!
