Hey, I feel the same way about drinking! The one time I started to get tipsy, I hated the feeling so much that I quit.
And after my c-section I refused the pain killer they were giving me for the same reason. I just took that Tylenol stuff. The epidural was ok, because it didn't affect my mind.
I self hypnotize all the time, especially before sessions. Nearly every session. I concentrate behind my eyes until the light and dark forms the general facial pattern of my little black and white dog who died years ago. Then I transform the black and white pattern of her face to the black and white pattern of her body. (Which is coincidentally very easy to do by just switching the black to white and vice versa.) I alternate back and forth a few times, and voila!
I bought a book on self hypnosis, and practiced with the whirly design. But my way is easier and more portable. I don't go into a deep trance of course. And I'd sort of like to experience that. But my therapist doesn't do it. :(
Should I offer to pay for a course for him?
