My complete answer is too long for this topic/board, but the quick answer is: I found it often successful for smoking, fears, memory retrieval, and self-hypnosis in childbirth.....yes, labor and delivery! I've also used it to lower blood pressure for a mom in labor and for myself frequently during invasive medical procedures.
I often used hypnosis in tandem with a technique call Emotional Freedom Techniques, a trigger point tapping technique which anyone can do. Google it; you'll find a cute article from me there called "Mice in My Pants".
