I have been gagging since I can remember I am now 32. Every time I get really nervous or excited I gag and can't stop it. Every time I see a therapist they have never heard such a thing so I feel like they can't help me. Its affecting me greatly cause I never know if it will just start happening. I can't date or anything. Do u think I should try being hypnotized?

I think most of us are too nervous for hypnosis but try it anyhow
beta blocker pills from doctor will help calm your body
the gagging is just a bad habit
deep slow breathing will help to calm you

I have had hypnosis for a few different reasons. It has helped me a lot. Hypnosis is simply a really relaxed state. You are still fully aware of what is going on around you while you are 'under' so you have complete control of the situation.

Give it a shot - it can help. :-)
