Hypnosis for Healing with Jim Lee
The actual hypnosis takes 20 minutes. The process explanation can be completed in 10 minutes, but instead is dragged out. It's the same information provided in the consultation. The remaining 1 to 1.5 hours ( he will tell you the session may take up to 2hrs) is nothing more than Mr. Lee trying to sell you two more sessions. He will tell you that he usually only has to see people for 3 visits in an attempt to convince you of his credibility and success. Maybe that's true. And while it's a good strategy, you shouldn't have to pay for his sales pitch at $85. per hour.
I visited Mr. Lee to relieve chronic pain. He makes the claim that he has 100% success, however, there is zero evidence of that claim. Nor did I buy into it. But I'm open to trying things, so, I gave it shot.
Takeaways:
The hypnosis is supposed to "anchor" you to do a relaxation exercise. Truth is, the exercise given can be effective without hypnosis. It's basically meditation. It's taking a few moments out of your day to stop, focus and be in the moment, relaxing your mind and body.
A handout for tapping (EFT) is provided in the session. It's a very simple technique. You can find the same thing online. His hand out, I discovered, actually misses one step.
Both meditation and EFT can be practiced and yield results without hypnosis. And both are free. :)
Do I believe I was hypnotized. No.
A big believer in alternative treatments and medicine, I was open and receptive to the process, but I was not hypnotized.
Would I recommend Mr. Lee? No.
What works for some does not work for others, but I would not recommend him.
What I would recommend is meditation. It can be as short or as long as you need or can do. There's a plethora of information available online, as well as free guided meditations. Look for meetup groups if you want to connect with people or a community who may have more experience that can help you.
I'm still not sure about the effectiveness of tapping (EFT), but if you're interested, give it a go. Again, there is plenty of information available online on how to do that. It's very simple to do.
I hope this helps. read more
