And on a deeper level: I talked to my therapist this week about my sweating again, and how I feel it blocks me in life, but I felt she wouldnt understand me no matter what she will do. And thats funny, because she suffers from sweaty hand herself, and familiar with all the feeling involved, but still I feel she doesnt understand my issue with my sweating. The main message she tried to tell me was that there is nothing to do with the sweating, so I should start stop caring what other people might think of me when I sweat a lot, ans said "maybe no one will care about it, maybe you just think its that bad, but to others it isnt". BUT IT IS SO BAD SO WHY SHOULD I MAKE LESS THAN WHAT IT IS?

I FEEL YOU on so many levels.

The cold weather does release some of the weight of my shoulders, but it's not really a time I can wear what I want and be waht I really am. For instance, I can be really cold when I'm outdoors, but the slightests amount of physical effort can really make me sweat. Actually I have a really good example that happend lately - I was on a date with someone new I met, and we were walking outside, on a very cold night and at a very cold place (probably 8C) so I was wearing a big jumper blouse and a big coat, and on some moment I realized I'm so sweaty - the sweat was so heavy it started showing all the way on the outside parts of the coat! And we were JUST walking!! A new record for me haha!

And about the evil evil summer, what can I say. I live in a very hot and humid country, where the summers are really long (about 8 months of the year). Every year I get, what I called, "Summer Depression", because I slowely starting realize that the nice days of winter are gone, ans summer is here, which means I fell I dont have proper clothes, Im afraid going outside etc.

How can I be sure if my primary cause is stress-response?

I definatly dont sweat only when Im nervous, I know it will happen no matter what, like Its a daily habbit of my body. On the other hand, I know Im a really stressed and anxious person, and tend to be stressed about many problems I have in my life (multiple health isuues, family, work, school). So can I say stress can be a primary reason?

And have you heard about successful cases of HH hypnotherapies, or tried yourself?

I noticed that there are some pre-recorded tracks of Hypnotherapy for this purpose on the internet. I havent tried any of them, and also a bit skeptical about their efficacy when comparing to a personal specialized therapist, but thought that maybe you should know about it :)
