So....you all are curious about what I have done in Stockholm today and now I am home again and of course I will tell you;=)
My day started at 05.00, waking up and going to the airport. Early and sooo tired... but excited! My flight arrived in Stockholm Arlanda at 07.50 and I took the train in to the city centre. I read the new Elle UK and had a tea.
Then I took the metro to the south part of Stockholm and since I had some time before the meeting, I took a tea at Waynes coffee. When I was sitting there, a very well-known face came in. It was the famous swedish actress Pernilla August. She is mostly known internationally for being Anakins mum in Star wars;=)
Then at 10.30 I walked into an office where this guy has his practise:
His name is Fredrik Praesto and he is a hypnotiser;=) I have seen him hypnotise people in TV and heard much good about him so I had booked an appointment to get hypnostised and hopefully get less scared of my biggest phobia: thunder, bombs, balloons...
The whole session took one hour and it was cool;=) I have been hypnotised before but this was different and much deeper. I remember everything and was fully aware of what he did but what he has done now is re-programming my brain to stop acting with the reptile-brain and instead use the logic side of the brain. If it will work I dont know until next time I hear a big bang;=) But I do hope I will be much much better since that is all I really want;=)

Hi Anette!
ReplyDeleteOh, good luck - I hope it works. I love thunder, but sudden bangs, like at rock concerts, make me jump too. And I used to be in the army ;)
My day was much less exciting - http://anna-disgrace.livejournal.com/54095.html I bought a new top!
seems like you have had such a busy day on. Glad to see you have still come out smiling though ^^
ReplyDeleteSuz
And I forgot to say - I'm a huge Star Wars geek, so that is awesome you saw Pernilla!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a eventful trip. I like your fears. Honestly Balloons are like the scariest things ever. I totaly agree i hate it cause the popping AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH I always tell my mom i don't know if my kids are ever going to have balloons.
ReplyDeleteHei!
ReplyDeletewow, that is awesome...I hope it works...

ReplyDeleteHi Anette!!!

It's a very great film the Film-maker is really good!! And the actress who played Lisbeth Salander is very talented!!

Hello Anette!
ReplyDeleteYou had a busy day, but wonderful ;)
WOW! This sounds cool!
ReplyDeleteHopefully it works and you can get less to your phobia :)
It would be really wonderful. Maybe it´s really hard to work on stage if is scared of pyro´s which are on stage too.. Or watch someone other bands shows...
Hey Anette!
ReplyDeleteIt"s great that you look for this kind of hypnosis. I've done some trainings based on this technique and they were really awsome for me.
Hope this works for you too.
I got really impressed with the resolts I took.
Lots of hugs
That's so cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a nice, exciting day in Stockholm. I've been there once, and I liked it very much. I definitely want to go back one day, because we only stayed there two nights before we took the overnight train to Oslo.
I've never been hypnotized, but it seems cool. I hope it really helped you get over your fear!!
I'm glad you got to meed a famous actress! Did she recognize you too?

Wow cool Anette =)
ReplyDeleteI hope it works <3<3
I wish you only the best Nettan =)
I♥U <3
Ooh, I hope it works out for you.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I'd do if someone from Star Wars walked in. Probably spend about half an hour trying to work out where I'd seen them before, knowing me.
Hmmm.. I Hope it works for you... Is so nice see someone fighting their fears *-*
ReplyDeleteKisses from Brazil!
HEP-HEP!
Wow! What a busy day Anette!
ReplyDeleteI hope the hypnose session will work for you =D.
All the best.

Hey, Anette!
ReplyDeleteYay to you for going to that hypnotiser! It's good to take care of your fears and try to solve them. Hope the session will have been effective!
Love those pants too. Seems like a very nice shop.
Have a great day!
Good evening,
ReplyDeletesounds as if you had a very interesting and nice day and not like me an absolutely f...... day.
Hope the hypnosis has helped you:-)
Sleep well, see you (read you) tommorrow.
Hi Anette
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, I actually like balloons and don't mind big bangs very much. This weekend I worked for school with some thunder in the background and I didn't mind it at all. It was kinda nice to studie with it ;)
BUT my BIGGEST fear are spiders and needles.
I am soooo cared of spiders, I hate the big wants and actually want them all dead.... And yes my other fear is very irritating. Whenever I got to have an injection or have to give blood or something I totally freak out and if I don't lie down I faint. It's very hard to control it! I know it is all in my head, but still I start to inhale very heavy and can not control myself. Even after all those years, I still can not control it, hate it!
Still, I have 6 earrings and a belly-button piercing. I have fainted a lot for those ;)
I wanted to go for a tattoo, but I don't think I would survive that ;)
Sooo, I would definitely want to meet that guy to release myself from my fear!!!

Hi hun. I hate bangs so I know how upsetting they can be. It's a good job your not in the Uk today as we have been having lots of thunder storms. We have a well known hypnotist called Paul McKenna who has worked wonders. I tried his audio discs and video's and now I feel I can handle more stress than before. I have also been following his diet plan/advice and it was very good and interesting.
ReplyDeleteI hope you continue your hpnotherapy. You will have to update us on if you think it's working or not.
love and respect.

Love how you met Pernilla .. I must admit I'm a HUGE Star Wars fan (who isn't, really? some people just hide it ;)
ReplyDeleteHow does hypnosis really work? This isn't really a question for Anette , just anyone in general ... I must say I'm not a big fan of the idea of letting someone else play with my brain :S However Anette, I hope your fear of big bangs is gone ;) It would make the concerts a lot more enjoyable :)

Hi there :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh Waynes coffee, never heard the name before, i love coffee, is it a kind of Starbuck? Is it cheaper or not?
Anyway that sounds delicious there :)
I hope this hypnotise meeting will help you.
Take care <3
Hi, Anette.
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool! Actually, I don't believe in hypnotism at all, since I don't know how things work and what is real or not on TV.
But, I would really like to be hypnotised one day. It would be a nice experience.
I hope you get good results.
I like thunders, but really afraid to get my appliances burned haha.
Greetings from a fan from Brazil.
Take care.

It sounds like you had a good time! I hope that the hypnosis helps. I've only seen it done a couple of times for show and that was pretty hilarious but I've heard that it can help with more serious stuff as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way, though. Things like thunder and bombs and balloons popping get me jumpy. I don't know why exactly, my boyfriend thinks it's kinda silly. Maybe if the hypnosis works for you I might try it as well ^.^
All the best,
Yelena~
Anette,
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of loud noises, you crossed my mind today.
I saw "Drag Me to Hell" and I rember you blogging about how you wanted to see it. I wanted to know if you've seen it yet? The Music is so great in it. Me being the violinist you met in Houston, I just loved the Gypse Violin in it. This reminded me because there were lots of loud noises and bangs, as well!
It scared the hell out of me!
Hope all is well!
-Emilio Arredondo
Seems like you got a good day :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your fear will get better, I think it sucks to be afraid of bangs when you're on stage with the pyro's and stuff xD
xx,
Nouky
Hi Anette,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds so very interesting be hypnotize!
I'll must try to too for my greatest phobia: snakes. I'm very very afraid of them and I cannot watch the documentaries because of that. I have every time the sensation to have it behind my back.
Hope that all your afraid will pass away!
Hugs and kiss
Miriam
luv Stockholm =) I wanna visit!!!
ReplyDeleteHej!
ReplyDeleteHow does it feel to be hypnotised? I've never been. I hope it worked with you. I could use one too, I have a phobia of snakes.:(
Hey Anette!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a cool day! Really cool you met that actress! Hmm I dunno if I would ever let someone do things with my brain, but maybe it really helps :D I hope so! :D I hate thunder too, this night there was thunder and lighting again, damn xD It's so stupid that I'm still kinda scared for it XD
~Night*Star~
Damn, I probably wouldn't dare to do it.. I am afraid of being hypnotised :) However it must be really interesting. I hope it will help you. It sounds funny - stop the reptile-brain :D
ReplyDeleteHypnosis is good. I has worked for me. Go for it girl ;)
ReplyDeleteYay for star wars!
nice meeting!!!
ReplyDeleteWayne's coffe....I can't resist to Wayne's hot chocolate with Marshmallows.....:D
Hope the Hypnose will help you!!
What a great day for you! Not only did you meet Pernilla (you lucky duck! =) ) but you got hypnotised as well. I truly hope for you that it worked. I am hopelessly scared off loud bangs etc. myself so I know how it feels like!
