Self Hypnosis Cds - How Often Should I Listen to them?

One of the questions that is frequently asked of any hypnotherapist by a client is often should I listen to a self hypnosis cd recording.

The answer is generally one of 'play it as often as you need to' which is some guidance but maybe not enough. You see that if you take this advice literally it means that you would only listen to the hypnosis cd as long as you currently felt you had the issue. This is a bit like fire fighting as opposed to fire prevention.

Let me illustrate this point with an example. Now the most popular issue for anyone is stress. So it goes without saying that the 'Relief from Stress' hypnosis cd is one of the most popular.

Now it is much better to play the stress hypnosis cd and listen it regularly even if you are not currently feeling overly stressed. This is because when one of life's events comes along which you might find anxiety provoking, because you had built up your ability to relax through listening to the hypnosis cd you would be in a much better position and resourceful state to handle that life event.

If on the other hand you had waited until some event stressed you and then listened to the 'Relief from Stress' hypnosis cd, you are doing something similar to fire fighting. You have waited for a problem to occur before taking action rather than taking preventative action.

Everyone handles life's events in different ways and therefore not everyone would need to turn to using a hypnosis cd during a time of anxiety... although it certainly would help. However if you are the type of person that seems to have continual bouts of stress then listening regularly to a relaxation hypnosis cd would enable you to handle matters much more competently and easily.

Ordinarily, for anyone who wants to enjoy the life enhancing benefits of a hypnosis cd, the best approach is to listen to the cd recording every day for up to 30 days and then reduce the frequency t o every other day and then to suit your needs.

Like device or habit that we can benefit from, only in using or doing it will you feel the benefits. The more you listen to your hypnosis cd the quicker the benefits can come through for you.
