Question by Leanne Babes: how much is hypnotherapy? And how many sessions would i need?
I have selective mutism (a severe anxiety disorder) and i heard that hypnotherapy can help with it. I wanna try it because i don’t think most other therapies would work very fast, i hear they can take up to 2 years till you’re free of sm. So does anyone know how much hypnotherapy is? And also in all how many sessions would i need to cure sm?

Yes, hypnotherapy can help with anxiety. I don’t know where you are based, but here in the UK hypnotherapy sessions cost about £60 per session, each session usually lasts about 90 minutes.
I really don’t know how long it would take as I have not treated sm. From personal experience, when I have done general anxiety hypnotherapy with clients I would do an initial fact finding session to find out what exactly is the problem and how it affects them, then on average about 4 subsequent sessions to really drive the change home. Usually this is on a weekly basis but each therapist has their own unique style and way of working.
Why not do a web search of your local hypnotherapists and call a few of them?
Hope this helps, good luck.

Google: “hypnotherapists; clinical psychologists; (your location)” Prices (call, and ask) and number of sessions vary.
Less expensive alternative:
See http://your-mental-health.8m.com/blank_13.html and use the autosuggestion (self hypnosis) by making your own voice recording, perhaps based on your first professional hypnotherapy session, and repeat it several times, having another professional session later, if required.
Here is a completely free version of a powerful method you can apply to your own self and sm, and anything else bothering you to remove it and resolve it quickly.. just download the manual at emofree.com, click on ‘learn eft’
i give it out only because it really works, in a few minutes
Otherwise , hypnotherapy usually costs what ever the therapist charges…anywhere from 60 $ on up to 150$, you have to call and ask them your questions
Hi there,
My name is Quinn and I work at Morpheus Hypnosis in Toronto, Canada. Not surprisingly “how many sessions will I need?” is one of the most common questions I get asked. Unfortunately there isn’t one concrete answer. The duration of treatment depends on a variety of factors including personal history, underlying causes of the anxiety, commitment to change, and current situation. (Obviously there are many more factors, but those are some of the key ones)
That being said clients with sever fears of public speaking, or social anxiety, or similar issues usually come in for an average of three sessions. A good hypnotherapist will take the time to sit down with you and discuss your goals, history, etc. and be able to give you a more concrete idea of how many sessions they would recommend before charging you for any of their time or asking you to commit to a paid session.
http:// http://www.morpheusclinic.com has more information on similar issues such as public speaking and anxiety. The average cost for a session regardless of where you go is usually between $90-$140. You can pay more, but I’m not sure if it would have any extra benefit.
Hope that helps! 🙂
Quinn
