Yes great question on the use of alternatives like self hypnosis, systematic desensitization and self talk! OK I will respond to that quickly. Forty years ago while working at a hypnosis clinic the head psychologist noted my fear of going to the dentist that afternoon and used a quick technique on me. To this day I enter the dentist's office and as soon as they move the chair into the recline position the post hypnotic suggestion takes hold and I grow super relaxed and almost fall asleep. The dental hygienist or the dentist keeps prodding me to keep my mouth open and my head turned towards them. I go into a groggy and relaxed state every time. The psychologist did not suggest that I not be anxious about the visit so I always have that feeling. But the moment the chair reclines WHAM the relaxed feeling hits very time. So yes there is some usefulness to the technique. I will post on this soon. An interesting question. It will not give you superhuman memory etc. but is useful, especially for taking an exam.
I will post soon.
