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
