| "I came to see you because of the pain in my chest
from scoliosis I’ve had since birth. You made several
tapes on comfort and on the control room in my mind. I’ve
found the tapes to be of great benefit. I really liked the
way you walked me through and helped me picture in my mind
what you were saying. It was like listening to a story and
I was in it. I liked the way you made everything seem so
real through the expression in your voice. I also liked the
way you showed me how to breathe in comfort and breathe out
tension.
The hand-out you gave me on Calming the Body: Calming
the Mind has been helpful in reducing stress. ‘Playing
with Sensations’ imagery has also been helpful
in visualizing what color, size and shape, sound and temperature
the pain is—and then changing it! The sessions and
then the techniques you taught me to use at home have helped
reduce the chronic pain. All of this was new to me and
I really appreciated the time you spent with me.
You also did sessions on helping me feel happy, comfortable,
and confident when I’m with people. I liked the Thumbs
Up!
I enjoyed being able to read ahead of time what hypnosis
is, what it isn’t, and how it can be used to change
a person’s life in a positive way. It was nice to know
what to expect. It was really nice being able to talk to
you on the phone before we met.
I always felt that you were glad to see me. The time you
spent with me, being able to feel like I could talk to you,
the way you listened and helped me has meant more to me than
you’ll ever know."
