If skillfully applied, self hypnosis can be a useful skill to develop as part of a psychological trading plan. It is not a cure all though. I teach self-hypnosis as part of my course work. I teach it as a method to calm the body and mind and to re-direct your awareness away from fear and toward more empowered parts of the self. If you use self hypnois to over power fear or greed, it will work in the short term and fail in the long term. You do not change beliefs with hypnosis -- you calm body and still mind. Self hypnosis fails in treating food compulsion and smoking sessations long term. You have to do the internal work once you have the mind still.
