My name is Myra Durkin, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker in the Boston area. I am certified in clinical (or medical) hypnosis, and have been doing it for 19 years. I agree with everything Dr. Pacik said. Clinical hypnosis is extremely effective in treating anxiety of all kinds in a short time, enabling profound , lasting changes. I treated a vaginismus pt. recently who had never been able to have sexual intercourse. She learned about Dr. Pacik’s program, but could not do it because of crippling anxiety. We did several sessions of hypnosis around her anxiety, and after that she was able to enter the program, finish it successfully, and have intercourse with no problems. Clinical hypnosis is often misunderstood; it’s just like deep guided meditation, but is much more specific in treating different problems.
