Hypnotherapy

Has anyone ever tried hypnotherapy to help with ASD triggers? Some of my triggers cause me self harm, this seems to be getting worse so id like to control it. Do you think hypnotherapy could help ?

  • I have undergone hypnotherapy long term before my diagnosis. Would recommend cbt for behavioural issues.

  • I guess it would depend on the therapist? I tried hypnotherapy once and didn't get on with it, but I think that was as much about the guy doing it as me.

    Another thing to consider would be how an ND brain would cope with it? Would hypnotherapy need to be adjusted in some way like CBT is? I thought my inability to get on with hypnotherapy might have been about me being heavily into meditation and altered states of conciousness, or him not being very good, but now I wonder if it was an ND thing?
