> >Dear Nic: I have used hypnotism for a less dramatic purpose. I had developed >trouble urinating and thought that it was an enlarged prostrate. But when >checked out, it turned out to be a sphincter muscle that wasn't functioning >properly. The urologist prescribed cardura which I began to use. It worked, >but also worked to make an erection less possible. So as not to ruin my >sex life, I quit and contacted a colleague who specializes in hypnosis and >had him do four sessions. The primary visualization that he used was of >running water. He would have mevisualize lying beside a stream of water and >relax so that the urine flowed with the water. I found that to work, although >it was slow. I would sit on the john and visualize the flowing stream and >pretty soon it would work. The more I practiced, the more effective it has >been. I have also found that standing in the shower is very effective, and >I've begun to use that imagery too. > Hypnotism with me worked slowly, not dramatically, and required me to >put the visualization into practice. It was not a one-time intervention. > Anyone else have experience with hypnosis? > Bob Newbrough > > Bob Newbrough
