I had a hypnosis session (lost rings)

[whitewave]

The hypnosis was through zoom with Todd Grey (also of nice ice): https://hypnoformance.com/

I initially booked it in order to help find my diamond rings, but over the last week, I realized I was having intense anxiety and stress, so I decided to focus the session on my mental health. Todd was great and we talked a bit before the hypnosis session. He did add a little bit about the rings in the session and while I have not found them yet, after the session was over, I felt a lot of relief and relaxation.

I‘m going to do more sessions because I found it therapeutic. I do recommend.

Maybe my rings will turn up soon. Fingers crossed.

Honestly, in this day and age, anything that helps combat anxiety and stress is worth exploring in my book! I'm glad you found some relief. Now I hope you find your rings!

You don't remember that while under hypnosis you found it, and and mailed it to him.

That guy's gonna get rich.

Lol. The only thing that was weird is the hypnosis is 30 mins about and it felt like 5 minutes. It was very relaxing though and I had no idea it was 30 mins of relaxing. I mean that is great for me who doesn’t sit still long. I was able to sit still for 30 mins and relax and take care of me. That in itself is incredible.

Probably for the best! Did you read about the young woman who got locked in the chamber and was literally frozen solid? What a way to go.

I feel like hypnosis is akin to guided meditation in a way. I like that you're not afraid to explore alternative relaxation methods. And if it brings you relief, hey, it's a win. I use it very, very sparingly (because it frightens me), but if I feel panicked, I take a half a milligram of Ativan (I'm talking like maybe twice per year). I haven't found anything else that calms me when I'm stressed... except gemstones... and chocolate... and baby animals... and Dr. Pol.

No!! OMG that is terrible. Where I went they stayed in the room with you the entire time

Apparently she worked there and went in after hours. So she knew her way around the machine. But I think she panicked and couldn't get the emergency latch working, poor girl. It had to be (or should have been) against policy to use the machine when alone at the clinic. Yikes.

I found the story... it happened in late 2015. I thought it was more recent. Anyway, sorry to go off on a morbid tangent!

Oh I did read about that but I forgot. The biggest issue for me with cryo was wondering If I should have worn nipple pads. Lol. You are nekkid and wear gloves and booties.

but getting back to hypnosis, I had great sleep (diagnosed insomnia) and woke up feeling calm. It’s a nice feelings.

I've always been a lousy sleeper. It sounds like you might have found something that really works for you. Kudos!

OMG how awful!
I absolutely hate the cold so will never be undergoing anything like this. LOL just thought of another "I never will" for the never thread


@whitewave I am so glad you had a great session and it sounds like a wonderful way to deal with stress in general. Thank you for sharing and of course I hope your rings turn up but even if you do not find them doing hypnosis sessions are invaluable to managing life in general. So glad you thought of this and it is going well

Girl, it’s going to be 81 F here next week. I wish I had cold to go stand out in.

it was ok until it hit about -125 F. Lol. Then the last minute was terrible when it went up to -175 and then back down. I hated every second of that.

Yeah, I wanted to try it and afterwards I was like “ yeah. Probably not doing that again “

the hypnosis was great. He is out next week but I have another appointment for the week after.

hmmm my stress and anxiety are off the freaking charts and have been for some time, so it really helps with that? I might be willing to give it a whirl...but one of my stressors is money lol so is it expensive?

I think he has like a $99 first session offer and then you can buy a package or pay for each one if you want. The price list is somewhere on that link.

YMMV but I did find it helpful. I struggle with carving out quality me time so I could use an app or something generically pre recorded, but I don’t. It’s helpful to me to have an appointment with a person.

(I don’t get anything for this to be clear. I’m just sharing something I found helpful)


Anxiety is the pits; I’m sorry you are having trouble.

 

[diamondringlover]

@whitewave thank you yeah I was poking around on the site but didnt see the pricing, yeah not horribly expensive about what I expected, thank you.

[whitewave]

No Rings. I did find my daughter’s old Nintendo DS. It fell out of the sofa as I was shaking it.

I should make a list of all the things I have found. Lol. Basically everything but the rings

 

[mustangchi]

What rings did you lose? Maybe I missed another post explaining and if so I apologize in advance, hope you find them soon!

 

[Wink]

Todd has been a good friend for many years. He is SO much more than people know when they think of him only as, "the guy from Nice Ice."

I first met Todd many years ago. Funny story. I had my kayak in the back of my truck, as I was going to go kayaking after work. While talking on the phone in the mid afternoon, I heard one of the office people next door saying loudly, "There's water everywhere!"

I looked out my window, and sure enough, my building was an island and water was running on all three sides of triangle of land it was on.

I went down to see what was happening, and there was a massive water main leak just up the street, coming out of the main in the middle of the intersection just "upriver" of my building.

Just because it looked like a fun thing to do, I grabbed my kayak and kayaked across the gutter and the grass and into the window well of the basement. When my kayak bumped the window I realized if I broke the window I would probably cut my head off while the water forced me through it. I quickly paddled back to the street and noticed the reporter and camera crew from the TV station up the street had "film at eleven" footage. It was picked up by the wire services and shown in several markets.

Todd saw it from his location and drove to Boise with his girlfriend to meet the wild man claiming a first descent of Main Street in Boise, Idaho. We have been great friends ever since.

That is hilarious @Wink
