Does hypnosis work for insomia?

There is no guarantee with hypnosis. It works for some and not for others. Some psychologists will teach you how to do self hypnosis which is sort of like relaxation. That can be very helpful, but again, even with the best psychologist, there is no guarantee. Don't go to hypnotherapists unless they are psychologists and make sure that they have extra training in hypnotherapy. Anyone else will not have the background training needed to see to your problem properly. In Australia, you can get most or all of the fee rebated through Medicare. Psychiatrists may have the training, but they are likely to try get you to use drugs as well.
