I use hypnotic tapes and have found them very useful. They are two sided, one has someone talking, the other has music, with the same message imposed subliminally.

I have listened to a few different ones over the years, and put them on at night to help me sleep. I get them over the interenet through a company called Potentials Unlimited.

I think hypnotism is like anything, open to abuse by the practitioner, if they are manipulative or incompetent. I have found these tapes very useful and helpful. Its expensive, thats why I prefer the tapes/CDs. I went to a hypnotist once, it cost a lot and I found the tapes are just as effective.
