The next best thing to a hypnosis session with an experienced hypnotherapist may be listening to a self hypnosis cd, tape, or other recording medium.Although the practice of self-guided self hypnosis (without a hypnotherapist or self hypnosis cd) can be very powerful it still requires you to think of what to do next and which way to turn.Self guided hypnosis you might say is similar to driving a car. The driver of the car can enjoy the views but he/she must make the decisions about the direction.
