Hi Fiest, It all depends on you yourself and your confidence/abilities etc. I would certainly give her a go, don't have to mention hypnosis, just do a few relaxation exercises with her where she can imagine herself fit and able and out of hospital.

I have a chance to see my tutor in two weeks and will have something to say to her as I dont care to have e...
Also she failed to return back into trance when i said sleep A person doesn't have to be slumped in a chair or even have their eyes closed to be 'in trance' or in hypnosis.
