@MrGrevy Superstition? That is by far the most incorrect description of this practice, there is no faith or philosophy attached to deep relaxation. Maybe you should think before talking? It would save you a lot of embarrasment. Everyone knows Yoga Nidra does the job. Why not google "yoga nidra used by the navy" and other places about research into Yoga Nidra? I am a practicing professional hypnotherapist and use this Yoga Nidra like many of my collegues all the time and with superb success.

@MrGrevy I am removing my post because you are an armchair character assassinator. I will carry on helping people every day, what can you claim?

[MrGrevy]

@PhobiaGuy *sigh* You're talking about imaginal exposure therapy. You just outed yourself as an incompetent liar. There's no evidence of you helping anyone. Have you been published in any journals? Didn't think so. 136 iq - don't make me laugh. Half of what you post doesn't even make sense. Mensa indeed.

[MrGrevy]

@PhobiaGuy So your way of "proving it" is to invite people to do exposure therapy online with you. In your mind, that is "proving it". You are obviously very low iq and extremely dishonest. "Proof" indeed. Disgraceful.

[MrGrevy]

@PhobiaGuy Not true...I don't give out personal info online. You are now obviously a liar - Bruce Lee and Darwin? My God, you should be ashamed. I hope you are sued or jailed for malpractice. There are no Peer reviewed articles that support your nonsense.

[MrGrevy]

@PhobiaGuy Feel free to point to peer reviewed articles supporting your nonsense. I feel bad for your clients, I really do. Hmm let's see, if your way actually works, why doesn't everyone use it? Why is it not the standard for psychotherapists? Why is there a limit on the number of people who can become hypnotherapists? Think man, think.

[MrGrevy]

@PhobiaGuy You're really a piece of work. An obvious liar and charlatan. Systematic desensitization and exposure therapy works. CBT is usually 15-19 weeks, not 6 months. Let me guess, you have ZERO credentials? Disgraceful.

[MrGrevy]

@devarsi Stfu this is America not India. Go peddle your superstitions elsewhere.
