Right. There's many ways to practice hypnosis, most schools relying on overt, direct suggestion, and that has proven to be efficient, in general, only for a short term. But there is way more than that in the hypnosis world. It can be content-based, when you find concretely and positively reframe what event(s) from your past prevent your natural sense of confidence to unveil, it can be via unconscious symbolism, or it can even be content-free when the hypnotist guides your unconscious mind to do certain operations and you don't know for the hell of it what's going on, but you feel the effects and even have insights after/while the problem is solved.
Hypnotists who do something that one may categorize as "magic" are, obviously, harder to find than the ones who follow a script-based methodology, but are worth it, if you can afford. However, a high quality hypnosis session is in a whole different category than a high quality subliminal, the first one being interactive (if it's not interactive and the hypnotist talks "at" you without acknowledging your verbal/non-verbal feedback, that's not high quality hypnosis).
Ultimately, you're right - by all means just GO with these subliminals before considering a hypnosis session! Even if you go for the commercial ones, they're cheaper, and you can reinforce the learnings as you wish. If you went for hypnosis and it was less efficient than ASC, then maybe the hypnotist(s) you went to need a bit of a wake up call.
To paraphrase someone I respect a lot, "hypnosis is not something one does to people, it's not even something one does with people, but something one becomes". It is a science to a point and a deep improvisational and intuition-based art form from that point onwards, which, like everything, requires a lot of dedication and practice. If you went for hypnosis and didn't have a thorough shift in your perspective about the world, you are in for a great surprise when you encounter something closer to what's top notch in this field. I'm happy to have been awesomely surprised both regarding hypnosis, AND regarding subliminals - the latter coming after testing Shannon's ASC, as you're doing.
Now I'm not sure myself where I'm going with this, but the message above may give a hint as to why I replied to your question
. Cheers!
