I don't think so - to return to an earlier example if I say "don't think about kangaroos", despite the negative instruction what is the first thing that goes through your mind ? It's uncontrolled because by saying to yourself "don't do that" you are sending the message "do it more" to your subconscious.
I always smile when people say things like "don't worry" a#or "don't panic" - almost as bad as saying "don't look down"...
