Mandy Moore got hypnotherapy before a gig in Los Angeles a few nights ago. Mandy Moore, who is trying to shed her throwaway pop image for something a bit more substantial (ie. a wedding to rocker Ryan Adams is a start) just released a new album, Amanda Leigh, and is apprehensive about showing it off to the masses.

In order to get her nerves in order, Mandy employed a hypnotherapist to calm her nerves. After the session Moore entered the Los Angeles stage and gazed upon the 280-member audience and told them:

“It is the most bizarre situation you can imagine. It’s almost like therapy.”

No word on whether or not this transformed her mediocre music. If so, Nick Lachey should have this hypnotherapist on speed dial.
