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.
