Comment on Hypnoanalysis for anxiety – Scam by admin

Kieran, thank you for your comments. Just to make it clear, the reason why I completely discount hypnoanalysis as a treatment for anxiety is not because I have met two dodgy practitioners. In fact from what people have told me in emails about their own experiences with hypnoanalysis including with IAPH members is that my two were par for the course. The reason why I discount Hypnoanalysis is because no one who doesn’t make money from it has a good word to say about it. You don’t discount modern medicine on the basis of two unhelpful and unpleasant doctors because you can clearly see (and have probably witnessed yourself) how modern medicine helps lots of people. Hypnoanalysis has no independently verified cure to its name – just plenty of dissatisfied customers that thought they were alone, until they read comments from other people on places like this. Again, I urge people to keep their money away from these expensive, unpleasant and unproven therapies.

Comment on Celexa, citalopram – a personal experience by Vicky

I’ve never written on one of these before! I’ve struggled wih depression a few times and (thought I) managed to sort myself out properly about 12 months ago, cant remember what i was taking but came off them and was fine for a few months. The past 4/5 months have been hell! i dont feel depressed but the anxiety and panic has been getting unbearable. I was determined not to go back on medication, i tried to take the ‘mind over matter’ approach…last week I realised i wasnt getting anywhere, i was getting worse as the days went on…work is the hardest time – trying to avoid a conversation with anyone, even stupid things like walking past someone who looks at you…panic attacks trying to do a tesco shop…nightmare. So today i went to the doctors and they put me on citalopram 10mg, I think she’ll up my dose when i go back in 2 weeks. Its a real help reading other peoples comments an what they’re going through because you really feel alone when going through a sh*tty time, you feel like you’re the only person feeling like it. WIsh me luck, i am desperate for these pills to work! i just want to get back to feeling myself and doing ‘normal’ things like meeting up with a friend for coffee without being in complete fear about whats going to happen me, i dont want to panic, it just springs up out of nowhere. Everyone keep posting and we can help each other out. Good Luck everyone!

I am just coming off of my med’s (celexa). Was taking 20mg, went down to 10mg (for about a year) and now my doc says to
continue with 10mg every other day. The symptoms I’m experiencing are real grumpiness! Very, very short fused!!!
Everyone is right though about the weight gain and loss of interest in sex!
Hopefully they will be rectified after I am completly done.
Has anyone mananged to come off treatment and feel better than they did before going on? How long do the withdrawl symptoms last? I’m ready to bite everyones head off!!!!

I am a practising Hypnotherapist using Pure Hypnoanalysis. And no, it is not for everybody, just as no drug and no therapy and no product, even your Panic Away product, is for everybody. But there are thousands of people who have been freed from their anxiety and panic using this therapy. The IAPH, mentioned several times here have documented and verifiable research available to this fact, (if you had bothered to contact them).

Having said that, there are poor doctors, poor tradesmen and unfortunately poor therapists, no matter what training or study they have undergone.
No Hypnoanalyst should ever direct a client as to the particular cause of their problem, nor should they specify the nature of that cause.

Pure Hypnoanalysis, as practiced by IAPH members is a “brief therapy”, expected to be effective within 12 sessions. It is actually stated on their website that members will not charge should more sessions be required.

However, it is a long known fact that not all therapies suit all people, but also that successful psychoanalytical therapy is based on the personal relationship and honesty between therapist and client.
If anyone does not feel comfortable with their therapist, in any way or for any reason, they should bring that up with them at the earliest opportunity.

And finally, the basis for this strategic discounting of an alternative “product” is highly questionable. I, in my time, have come across MORE than two unhelpful, unprofessional and unpleasant doctors. But does that mean that I should disregard the whole medical profession and all that modern medicine has to offer?
