      I don’t use hypnotherapy because I’m a social psychologist, which means I study people but I don’t treat people. Hope you’ve been enjoying learning about hypnotherapy though!

      I unfortunately don’t use hypnotherapy as I work in a different area of psychology. Similar to Jamie, I study people but don’t treat them.

      Similar to Jamie and Hannah, I don’t use hypnotherapy as I am in a different area of research. However, I have heard some interesting things about its effectiveness.

      Unfortunately I’ve never had the opportunity to use hypnotherapy myself buuuuuut…I saw someone else do it with a patient. It was a fascinating experience. Felt kinda unreal to watch but it really helped them.

      I don’t work with hypnotherapy as my work looks at how we assess people to work out what treatment they may need. However, I do know about hypnotherapy as I had it once for anxiety. I think it can be really effective, but it needs to be delivered by someone who is properly trained. It is also important to know that it may not a be the best tool for everyone.
