Does anyone know if hypnotherapy can be used to treat agoraphobia?
I was diagnosed with agoraphobia over a year ago. I have tried Cognative Behavioral Therapy but that didn’t work and am on anti depressants. While I have started to improve slightly, taking my daughter to school with the help of my dog, I was wondering if hypnotherapy was an option. If so, does anyone know how to go about it?

I think hypnotherapy can be used for MANY phobias. You can contact a local hypnotherapist to find out.
You should ask your therapist about this. See if they have known people or heard of people (in medical journals) who have had success with this.
apparently hypnotherapy can treat all phobias.
not sure how this would do that.
In my NHS trust you can get hypnotherapy on the NHS for this disorder (and others).
yes – but you would have been better off using a sytematic desensitisation prograame. Ask your therapist why they did not devise one for you. they are very effective for the treatment of phobias of any kind.
In theory it should be able to help more than any other therapy. However I have a couple of phobias myself,but am reluctant to put my mind in the hands of anyone else so I cannot say from personal experience that it works
