I neck a Xanax before I fly.
Anyone ever tried hypnosis?
gcw Anyone on here ever used hypnosis and did it work
Less than perfect in my experience, but helpful all the same, more a ‘tool’ than a cure. Probably of more use the more you do it, and I didn’t stick at it for more than a handful of sessions. Think a lot of it comes down to how susceptible you are to suggestion too.
Wife tried hypnosis for flying, and found it didn’t work. Depends whether you’re susceptible to hypnosis or not etc etc
She also tried this, which was much more successful:

She did the Virgin course at Gatwick, and it worked a treat

Controversial take? Has anyone ever known anyone who is susceptible to hypnosis who isn’t a bit thick/“easily led”?
mono-stereo there could be something in that. I’ve only known 2 people who used it and it both worked on them. They weren’t the most academic of people

I wonder if Ed has ever been hypnotised.
LOLs for Millsy and Whatevs!
gcw have you tried business class?
Along_the_Wire never had that privilege, plus I think my last 20 flights have been easyjet or Ryanair, not done transatlantic since 2016
gcw I think we’ve found the answer to your prayers.

Hypnosis is like a lot of the other hoodoo pseudo medicine. You have to believe in the shite and it’s down to placebo effect if you ask me. I had a surgery go pear shaped and it caused lots of neuropathic pain from nerve damage. I read into pain receptors, how they work, how hypnosis can turn the pain receptors off. Went to some professor who’s versed in hypnosis and pain management and guess what? Absolutely fuck all difference. What a surprise.
However…there’s some hypnosis tart that I listen to when I’m going sleep in my in-ears that’s free on YouTube and weirdly I’ve found that the next day I can be completely out of pain.
Didn’t realise ‘chat’ lines were still a thing?
Along_the_Wire have you tried business class?
Lol!
Same as Dermo. Did fuck all for me except rinse me of a lot of green Queens. The sleep hypnosis YT stuff does work sometimes though.
