Brief Answer: Hypnotherapy Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic. I am sorry to know what you have been through. Hypnotherapy is employed by some doctors (mostly mental health doctors). The main idea is to relieve you of stress. It involves active imagination, expectation, appropriate ideas and motivation on your part. Thus the end-result will also depend on these factors. Another factor would be the technique and expertise of the doctor. This is often employed as a part of cognitive psychotherapy. People have also attempted to go into their past life to check for reasons, where it is called as past life regression technique. It can also be achieved by hypnotherapy. Another method is with meditation. Again active imagination plays a big role. You have to try to know if it will work for you. Hope it helps. Dr Vaishalee

Brief Answer: It depends Detailed Answer: Hi again A usual session of hypnotherapy lasts somewhere between 1 hour to less than 2 hours. Whether or not you will be able to remember will depend on things like your willingness to open up with the doctor, your willingness to imagine, etc. I personally do not know a hypnotherapist in Singapore. You will need to check with your local friends and find a reliable hypnotherapist. I could find the following but you need to make sure they are certified hypnotherapist: Simply Aesthetic Robertson Walk #02-14, 11 Unity Street, 237995, Singapore, Singapore Phone:+65 6732 5527 Hypnotherapy in Singapore Address: 199B Thomson Road Goldhill Centre Singapore 307636 Contact: +65 8777 8116 Regards Dr Vaishalee
