Does hypnosis work when working on confidence, happyness, depression and attraction?

I recently bought a hypnosis CD from Paul McKenna, cant say I 've noticed an immense difference, but perhaps its too subtle to see. Anyway does this mechanism truly work? Does the subconcious really control us?

Answer:
yes…in hypnisis they call it the UNconscious
its the unconscious mind that is really controlling you
and to make changes you need to change the unconscious which can be done through trance. you're not really supposed to notice the diffrences on a conscious level.

Answer:
The reality is no, because the reasons one might suffer from lack of confidence or depression, etc is very special to ourselves and how we feel can’t be changed unless those core beliefs change. Some CD from Paul McKenna is not going to change your negative beliefs that cause your problems, so really anything he states on that CD is just going to wall paper over the cracks, its not going to sort your problems out.

The ideal way to overcome your problems is work on them yourself. Understand the core beliefs that cause your problems and aim to change them.

Answer:
Hypnosis for a disorder such as overeating or smoking will usually transfer into another problem. I do not advocate it ever. learn how to protect yourself for many unscrupulous people will do it to you without you even knowing it until it is too late.
