Hypnosis and TMS

Found this interesting link about hypnosis and TMS. I recall Dr. Sarno mentioning hypnosis in one of his books. I did a quick google and found this. I'm not endorsing the practitioner and haven't even finished the entire article, but it seems complementary to TMS and they are familiar with Dr. Sarno and his TMS theory.

Anyone done hypnosis for TMS?

I had a couple sessions of hypnotherapy to uncover emotions that were causing pain. At one point in the hypnosis I started singing an old church hymn that goes "Oh Lord I am not worthy..." It made me realize that my religious background could be a big source of my feelings of inferiority and guilt. It also helped me unravel some unresolved feelings I had toward my mother while she was dying, namely regret and remorse. I'm not sure that hypnosis itself can eliminate the pain, but it is a catalyst for unlocking unconscious feelings.

I don't mean to be disrespectful but this modality his just as ridiculous as EFT . It's nothing more then placebo at best .
 
It really does work. If you believe it will.
It don't work, if you believe it won't.

But aren't all means of healing just placebo? People invest themselves in different modalities because they can resonate with them. The problem is, there are so many modalities and with the nature of TMS, we are forever in the search for the perfect/best fit modality. When in fact we only need to invest/follow just 1 or 2 completely.
 
I mentioned hypnosis because Dr. Sarno did in one of his books. I'm on a road trip so don't have my books to research on which page. If someone wants to crack open their Sarno and find his original citation that wouldn't hurt my feelings.
