hi Dinah--
On a purely selfish note, I would like you to go and post about it, because I'm very curious about hypnotherapy, yet kind of scared like you.Okay, onto something might actually be helpful :) First, I think EMDR and hypnosis are very different. Second, only a very small percentage of people aren't hypnotizable. As you said, you do it to yourself all the time; it's a natural state of consciousness that most everyone can enter--even if you don't click with this woman. Third, I bet a trained hypnotherapist would be much more confident, in her element, when she's actually doing a session.
Also, I'd want my therapist to arrange everything, too, but if you continue working with this hypnotherapist, it's good to establish your own relationship with her. And I'm sure she's worked with "weird" people before. Think of all the complaints--much weirder than yours-- for which her services would be needed....
