Clinical Applications

 Overcoming phobias, compulsions and panic attacks

 Surviving trauma

 Handling stress and anxiety

 Controlling weight

 Improving memory and concentration

 Coping with nervousness e.g. exams, public speaking, stage fright

 Learning how to relax

 Defining and achieving goals

 Using self hypnosis as an ongoing method of therapy
