Just wondering if anyone has tried hypnotherapy and if it was positively helpful to reduce thoughts of gambling?

Also if anyone has been put one any medication to help and found it successful in stopping the obsessing about gambling?

Also anyone having individual psychotherapy has it helped at all?

How would you rate these comparitively with gamblers anonomous and self exclusion and sites like this.
