Hypnosis - What Really Works - Here's my Story
Interesting that hypnotists and hypnotherapists have a view on how they conduct sessions and what works for people.
I'd like to tell you my story because it's relevant to this forum.
10 years ago I met the Hypnotist Jonathan Chase, not as a client or him in any professional capacity - but socially in a pub. I was interested in Hypnosis but had never considered hypnosis or got into it. I had no idea what hypnosis was or what it could do for me or that I even had a problem. (I did by the way - to me a really important problem that had clouded my whole life from when I was a teenager and when I met Jon I was 45.)
Serious panic attacks are no joke when they occur when you are attempting to enjoy yourself socialising and having a drink or a meal with friends and strangers. I loved being with people but had for the best part of 30 years avoided getting into situations where I had to eat or drink anything in company.
Can you imagine the stress this caused me? So much stress in fact that when I met Jon it had caused a hyperactive thryroid condition - it's actually called a disease and is treated with really strong drugs and if they fail to right the situation then radioactive iodine is used to shrink the thyroid. This in most cases causes an underactive thyroid, which is irreversible and again treated with drugs. In my neighbours case it was fatal.
So you see how phobias, stress, can be very disruptive to a person's life. I did hope that Jon could put this right - but I didn't really believe he could, because I didn't understand how the subconscious drives your fears in this way and how easily and quickly the negative patterning can be reversed.
As far as I was concerned I wasn't even aware that Jon had hypnotised me in that pub that January evening as I was aware and seemingly conscious the whole time. He used Hypnotic Symbolism. I symbolised my fear as a blob of green slime.
5 minutes later - I was free of the debilitating fear that had locked me in a less than easy life - I was normal just like everyone else. 1 week later I took myself off the thyroid drugs - 1 month later a blood test showed that my thyroid chemical levels had returned to normal.
Jon's 5 minutes in that pub - changed my life then, completely. In the last 10 years I have worked with Jon happily educating others to learn to quickly release themselves or others from these simple yet overriding problems.
In the last 10 years I have learnt how powerful our inner minds are and how quickly and easily you can change your mind or have your mind changed. If it's done properly with direct hypnosis the client doesn't even have to believe. And I have learnt that as a professional that it is way more important and way more rewarding to help people in an instant. I believe that that is what hypnosis is and what a good direct hypnotist can do.
I hope you have found this inspiring and magical.
You are a miracle waiting to happen

Yes the reason I work with Jonathan is because he changed my life - I wasn't working with him before. It could have been anybody - wouldn't have made the story any different by omitting his name. The story is true and a real experience of how hypnosis changes lives. The reason I started working with Jonathan was that I wanted in some way to give something back and to help other people realise their potential.
Apparently I shouldn't have put this in discussions at all but in my blog posts - Ahh me such are the wonders of the internet.

I liked reading your story and probably wouldn't have found it only on your blog. Thanks for sharing. Stories like these are inspiring and they are what I hang on to when doubt tries to creep it's way in.

I would love to be able to touch people's lives like that... whether I remained anonymous our not. I would want to be able to just "give" life-changes away, where ever I saw a need combined with honest desire to be free from the problem.
I appreciate your story. I am new to the field; a casual observer and studying what ever I find. Some years from now, I hope to be able to do something like what he did for you, and the way he did it. Starting with my friends and family... setting them free from chains and shackles.

What, specifically, do you think would have been more convincing, had Jonathan Chase not been mentioned? I'm getting the impression that you think the goal of Jane's post was to sell Jonathan's work. I read it completely differently. To me the post was first and foremost about sharing this special experience of realizing that there are solutions that are so amazing that at first you can't believe they worked, and perhaps as much as a head nod at Jonathan which, in my opinion, is a completely proper thing to do.
Several months ago, I had the privilege of helping someone else have that experience of instant change. It's great to see people "get it", and just like Jane, I wish everyone here who hasn't made that happen yet the courage and the insight and, not to forget, the opportunity to make it happen.

Jane,
I found your story was compelling, heart felt, and similar to my own. (except it didn't include Jon Chase..hehehe). I am glad that fortune brought you two together and into the hypnosis field. I know how good it feels to help people like that.

Hi Jane,
My own introduction into this fascinating world was also somewhat accidental...or was it?! Regardless, it changed my life forever and I am, like you, so happy to pass along the joy to others. I enjoyed your rendition, thank you.
Best wishes,
Kelley

My thought on this no matter who it was he did a life changing effect on her life just to verify how hypnosis can work even when you least expect it.

Thanks to everyone who shared similar experiences. I have found that the greatest rewards come from sharing and giving. And yes I wanted to give to Jon as well because it was he that did the deed and have found him to be very generous with his time and knowledge. Honesty is his greatest trait and if we all learnt to be honest and giving so that we lead people into win win situations by sharing our knowledge and experiences, then I think the world would be a less stressful place to live.
