Can Hypnosis Fix Your Life?
Can hypnosis cure people with chronic conditions? Three people who separately have explosive anger, a travel phobia and a pain condition try it, with varying results.
Every year thousands of people use hypnotherapy to try to lose weight, stop smoking or cure phobias - but can it really help cure people of their conditions?
Glaswegian hypnotherapist Ali Campbell is a man whose clients include royalty and A-list Hollywood actors. Following Ali in his practice as he tackles some complex cases, we discover whether hypnosis really can help people with chronic conditions, before
checking in on them months later to get their verdict on whether it has helped them or not.
We meet Chris, who suffers from explosive anger, an issue that is ruining his life. His wife Jess says she recently found him researching suicide on the internet, and Chris explains how he has seen multiple doctors and specialists for 20 years, and none of them were able to help.
Glaswegian GP and president of the European Hypnosis Society, Dr Kathleen Long, has been using the treatment on patients for years and finds it to be one of the most useful she has learned, despite hypnosis not usually being available on the NHS. She meets Shideh, who suffers from chronic pain CRPS.
Ali meets Alan, who has an unusual condition - for the past 20 years he has been unable travel in a car without overwhelming bowel discomfort. He explains how his condition is destroying his life, preventing him from doing everyday things like taking his wife out for a meal, and leading to cancelled holidays.
