Hypnosis?

Does anyone have experiences with hypnosis, hypnotherapy, or even self hypnosis? How effective was it? and how long does one take to finally enter a trance?
And, has anyone used it for their nofap journey?

I have listened to hypnotists 3 times now and in the first two, I relapsed after the recording finished and last night I listened to one for lucid dreaming (it was 1 hour and 12 minutes) and I was visited by fantasies and also had a bad dream where I masturbated. I still woke up with the fantasies being there and was turned on, but quite in control and unlikely to listen to them. A part of me thinks that the relaxation gained from these recordings makes you more sensitive to porn and fantasy, and so it makes nofap harder for you. And another part of me thinks that you are letting go of your deep fantasies and cravings by feeling them for this final time (that is, if you don't relapse), as if you have to go through these stages to be free. Perhaps it's just me linking PMO urges with hypnotist recordings, so I don't want the other fapstronauts who aren't familiar with hypnosis to think of it as a trigger.

What do you guys think?

 

Sorry for replying late, Thanatos. I relapsed, got and now I think I'm better off dead than alive. Not just because I "failed" but because of the effect PMO has on you when you've been abstinent for a while. I seriously think that if I go on relapsing, suicide will be the best option.

Thanks for the reply. Is it a coincidence that I relapsed the day after listening to the hypnosis recording again? I think I'll just go with meditating myself and keeping my vigilance.

 

Thank you mumchance. I'll torture my body with exercise this week to get out of this hell.

 

It's strange that I relapse everytime I listen to a hypnosis recording. But all I care about now is to be the guy who went through his longest streaks of nofap. I think I did great at those times in every aspect of my life.

You're right, I don't know what death is like. But I do know that death is better than going back to my PMO life. I suppose the suffering that PMO has caused me in these last days is reason enough for anyone to kill himself, but I just lack the means of doing so without much pain and cruelty. Certainly it's out of the question whether I will kill myself or not though! I WILL quit PMO, it's just that these last relapses were completely unneccessary and they harmed me too much without helping me learn anything new. It's almost like reversing my personal growth process.
