self-hypnosis

My pediatric pulmonologist has a good friend coming in town at the end of Jan. He is a specialist in self-hypnosis. He helps kids "relax" to have bloodwork drawn and various other things. Anyway, I told him I needed that to do PFT's and I the opportunity to visit with him if I decide to. I can get really anxious about PFT's. My heart rate goes up along with blood pressure no matter what I try. Do any of you know anything about self-hypnosis? I don't want to do anything "freaky" but I have read some interesting things about it. I would also like to hear from other christians on the board. There is some conflict in the christian world about "spiritual implications" of something like this.

Hey, The self-hypnosis thing sounds interesting.. I think if it is helpful to you why not? I am a christian and i know some ppl think certain things are freaky.. I say if it doesn't feel right to you then maybe it's not right for you.. Let us know if you decide to try it, and how it goes.... <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> joni

I have never heard of this, but am very interested for my son. He gets terribly anxious during PFTs and until recently couldn't even get a proper reading.

Let us know how it goes!

I am curious if its a type of yoga relaxation. OR if its "typical" hypnosis. Anything that helps to take anxiety away I would think is beneficial.
