Hi Diandra

Just a suggestion before you fork out $$$$ for the biofeedback or hypnosis treatment. Some people just don't respond to that type of treatment - maybe because their brains are wired differently or there may be some unknown neurological condition that is making the brain less receptive.

I'm one of them - 7 years ago I was prescribed hypnotherapy to assist with chronic pain for an (at that time) undiagnosed physical condition. I did 4 sessions (privately). I suspected right from the 1st session that I wasn't receptive but carried on - desperate for improvement. By the 4th session my pragmatism (and rapidly emptying wallet) kicked in and I asked the therapist more probing questions about how I should be responding and she grudgingly admitted that I wasn't very susceptible to hypnosis. She would have carried on treating me as long as I was gullible enough to pay.

So I would recommend a few trial sessions to assess your receptiveness before committing to an expensive residential course.

All the best for finding some relief.
