Am I Feeling Sleeeeepy?

[jesse_the_k]

Jane Brody, the NYTimes' "personal health" columnist, has an intriguing article about the effectiveness of hypnosis for a wide variety of problems, including anxiety, depression, nicotine addiction, and speeding post-surgical healing.

Huh.

The big surprise was the "it couldn't possibly have worked and yet it did" factor, which squarely addresses my "I'm too rational for this" doubts about hypnosis' power.

She even provides a handy link to a "find a hypnotist" site.

So, wise flist, any experiences with hypnotists?

I'll have to read the article later, but it seems to me that I heard somewhere that hypnosis is the same thing as guided meditation. And guided meditation is cool. This is an incoherent comment, and I'm going to bed soon, I swear.

Hokai, I finally read the article, and now I really, really want to try it!
