Any opinions on hypnosis therapy?

[Unbearable Mr. Bear]

A psychology teacher pitied me while I was having a nervous breakdown on the job and gave me a number to call her if I wanted to try some hypnosis therapy. My sister had a session some time ago with another therapist and she said she liked it, but I find it expensive to have sessions every week or two, so I'm here to ask if it's worth.

NOTE: I'm not talking about self-hypnosis. I'm talking about actual professionals doing hypnosis therapy.

Just know you can achieve this solo, I suggest trying the "digging method" by carl jung
The video of the guided meditation can be found on youtube as "JUNG'S DIGGING METHOD • A Guided Meditation for Exploring Your Unconscious"
You eventually start day dreaming, and you get met by characters from your mind,
i was highly sceptical, and i would consider myself a very non in touch person with my deeper part, but it suprisingly worked.
doesnt hurt trying.
i suggest you go to a session or two to the person who reccomended you, doesnt hurt, and sounds fun.

Thanks, but I'm done doing this solo. If left to my own whims I'll end up in yet another nervous breakdown. I realize I need external help from a professional instead of risking the little there is of my sanity self-help.

okay perfect, i think its awesome to have another person guiding you, and its fun and fresh to feel finally someone is caring about what you say, so i definetely think you should go to the professional. Good luck.

I've heard really good things about it coming from people who struggled with the same issues or similar traumas as me. I would definitely try it if I could, maybe in the future.

I think it's worth at least a to try it, if you can. You don't have to commit to it from the get go. And if it doesn't work it doesn't work.

It's not about caring. It's a service. It's more about they knowing what they're doing than caring about me. It's not like I would ever feel cared enough anyway.

EDIT: Sorry about being dry.

bhahaahahaha, i wanted to say its a service, but it definetely feels like they care even if theyre grabbing your money.

My therapist is a hypnotherapist and they are fantastic. They're not the "pocketwatch" type either. Get yourself one versed in trauma and types of neurodivergence, it's worth it.

I sometimes think about how would a psychologist be sane after truly caring for every one of their patients.

I don't think I would have a choice. I have at most two in my city, and I'm not going to use even more of my limited funds to travel every single session.

I just feel that its incredibly fucking crazy how expensive therapists are. That a human connection is behind a paywall.

The crazy part is that you have to go to a therapist for what should be free: human connection. Not that It'd help me, cause it would make me incredibly uncomfortable and my mind would immediately turn into paranoia mode and I'll probably have a nervous breakdown. I keep telling myself it will never be enough, and it never is.

its massively based on luck aswell
i got free govermental therapy 20 minutes a month (LMAO) and was damn near crying everytime but the session got cut short, and i was deemed a happy little boy.

Then i entered again into govermental therapy and got a fucking angel, who supported me, only for i to throw it all away,
now im looking at people charging 100-200 euros per session, fuck them.

Don't blame them, blame how capitalism makes us eat each other for the privilege of having a home, food and clothes. Blame how corporations basically control how the poor suffer.

I'll stop now. It's almost funny. Any thread where I ask for help invariably makes me antagonize any kind of help. Maybe I just wanted the attention. Sorry.
