Client Feedback: wine drinking, overeating, and fear of flying (oh, my!)

Just got this message from a client I saw for three sessions a short while ago.  Each session had a different focus, and it appears that she responded extraordinarily well all three times.

Regarding the wine issue, she had been drinking a few glasses of wine each day for a long period of time and wanted to stop for health and other reasons.  The other issues are more self-explanatory.

Take a look...

"Hi Sean! I have a lot to tell you. I apologize for taking so long; I wanted to have lots of good news to share!

After we had our third session I felt like a new person. We tackled three problems in my life: lack of control with wine, overeating, and fear of flying.

I'm absolutely THRILLED to tell you that I feel completely in control of my life now. I just passed the final test with flying colors. My husband had a business trip to Encinada, Mexico, for a Wine Festival, and I was lucky enough to be able to go along. Three days of wine tasting, eating and opera. (Does it get any better?)

I thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting (after going over a month without having anything, and without struggle). I felt completely in control and even refused some when I didn't feel like it.

To date I've lost over eleven pounds. And still going strong!

As for the fear of flying, on the way out my husband noted that my hands were not "gross and clammy" like usual (high praise). On the return trip I actually slept through the take off!

I am truly grateful for the help you've given me; please continue to help others with your gift.

Take care!"

Client Feedback: Trichotillomania (Hair-Pulling)

Here's some positive feedback I received from a client I recently worked with on a pretty rare issue: hair-pulling. If you're interested in learning a bit more about this problem, check out the Wikipedia page.

I worked with this client over the course of three sessions, but she hasn't pulled her hair since the very first session. When this is the case, the subsequent sessions are used to strengthen and reinforce, with the goal always being permanent change that feels natural.

As this is often a private or embarrassing problem that many are able to hide from their peers, this particular client agreed to allow me to publish her words, but chose to remain anonymous. Take a look...

"I’ve lived with Trichotillomania for well over 20 years. I have tried everything recommended to help my condition yet nothing ever worked until I met with Sean. After Sean hypnotized me the first time I felt so calm and had no desire to pull my hair. It has been 2 months and I have not touched my hair which is a new record for me.

Thank you, Sean. You have changed my life!"

Client Feedback: Fear of Flying (A Highly-Detailed Report)

Here's some very detailed feedback from a client who I worked with on his fear of flying. As is often the case, his conscious mind wasn't sure his fear was gone until after he took a couple flights. However, the results were excellent. Take a look...

"I flew to Las Vegas on the morning of 4/28. As we discussed I was nervous that I was going to have anxiety about flying. I had one drink prior to the flight. The flight had rather steady turbulence throughout which normally would have caused my to be uneasy the entire flight. I would rate my anxiety during the flight at 1(on a scale of 1 to 10). Normally it would have been a consistent 3-5, with turbulence it could have jumped above 5 quite easily. The flight back I was very hung over so I had no preflight drink nor did I drink on the flight. I had no anxiety prior to the flight nor during the flight.

A week later I had a day trip to Miami. Again the flight down was light turbulence and I had no anxiety. The flight back was bumpier but I still had little to no anxiety. At one point we hit a startling batch of clear air turbulence where the plane jolted and then lurched from side to side for 10 seconds. My heart rate jumped to about 150 bpm but I was able to settle down within 30 seconds and returned to a no anxiety state within a few minutes.

In conclusion, I now seem to be indifferent to most turbulence and generally don't have much to any fear of flying. In the past it only took a little bit of turbulence for my subconscious to take over and imagine the worst case scenario. Overall I would say that I am very pleased with my progress and your help in getting me to where I am now.

Thanks again for your help and I won't hesitate to recommend your services to a friend."

Client Feedback: Alcohol Control, Self-Confidence & More

This testimonial just came in from a recent client of mine who came seeking help with anxiety, self-confidence, blushing, as well as food & alcohol control issues. Take a look...

"I have experienced anxiety & confidence issues for as long as I can remember, many times avoiding interaction with others for fear of blushing & making a fool of myself. I didn't pursue career opportunities because of my lack of self esteem. I was too afraid of how I would be perceived.

After my sessions with Sean, I have gained confidence I never could have imagined. Not only am I more relaxed but my family & friends have noticed how much happier I am. I recently had a very successful job interview.

Sean has also helped me with food & alcohol issues. I no longer sip wine & consume junk food every night, only to wake up feeling incredibly guilty the next day. I have gained control with both eating & drinking. I've always liked exercising, but with these new changes taking place, my workouts are far more effective now.

I am amazed at the results after just a few sessions with Sean. He has helped me with so many aspects of my life. It is the best money I've ever spent!"
