Addictions Alcohol
It’s been nine weeks since I last had a drink. Not so long ago I would drink two bottles of wine in one evening and would still want more. I used to limit myself to only drinking at weekends but this quickly led to wanting to drink most evenings. If I wasn’t drinking, having a drink would always be at the back of my mind. I’m ashamed to admit that there was a time I would smuggle alcohol in the house and to this day, I’m still finding empty bottles I stashed in places long ago. I would often go out and not remember how I got home. I’m just thankful that my friends looked after me and I was lucky that I only had the bruises to remind me of my drunken nights out.
At first I was a bit sceptical of seeing Rob, but once I got over the initial embarrassment and shame of confessing how much alcohol I was drinking, I began to relax. The calming atmosphere and his ability to put you at ease made me open up. Ever since seeing Rob, my cravings for alcohol soon diminished and now I don’t feel the need to drink. Whenever I would pass my local off licence I would buy a bottle of wine to drink at a later date, the thought now never crosses my mind.
My parents and all the people that know me and knew how much I drank have said how much better I look. I feel more relaxed and able to deal with life challenges. I am becoming more confident as weeks turn into months and I feel so much happier and content. If it hadn’t been for Rob I would probably still be drinking. I highly recommend Rob for all those people who perhaps feel cynical like I did. What have you got to lose? Thanks for all your support Rob
Gambling
‘I have a long standing gambling addiction which I am in desperate need of removing from my life. It interferes with my comfort and integrity to the extent that I am now finding it unbearable.’
This was the email I sent to Rob in January this year when the gambling was at its worst. I started a course of analytical hypnotherapy a few weeks after and it has changed my life. I am no longer lured by the flashing lights of the fruit machines or feel the need to go into the bookies. I also have a new found respect for my money and the fact that I no longer have to cover up my gambling means I don’t have lie to my wife and family. Things couldn’t be better for us.
Confidence
….I am so glad I found the courage to phone you and make an appointment – I am not exaggerating when I say that you have changed my life. I feel there is so much I can achieve and you have helped me to let go of the past so that I can move on and stop wasting time with all those ‘what ifs’.
Driving test nerves
I just wanted to say a big thank you for the hypnotherapy sessions I came to see you for. I was having trouble with my driving lessons and didn’t believe in my self, or think I could pass my driving test, which I had booked and was going to take in a few weeks from seeing you. I had the first session and came out of there feeling great. I had a driving lesson the day after and it was about 90% better. Then I had my last session 2 days before my test and I passed 1st time, I couldn’t believe it I was so pleased, thank you.
Exam nerves
Thanks for your help Robert – I found hypnotherapy really useful. I found the sessions incredibly relaxing and it really helped to build up my confidence – now I feel much calmer and more focused about my upcoming exams. The simple techniques that you taught me will help not just in the tests but in the rest of my life – thanks!
IBS and Confidence
I just wanted to say that before I started my sessions for IBS I use to take Imodium with me where ever I went. Even on my first session with Rob I was using it trying to give me piece of mind. I also suffered anxiety around this and it started to take over my life worrying were the next toilet was. Hypnosis has had calming positive effect on me. I know longer freak out at the thought of long journeys. The other day I went on a 3 hour walk with not one toilet in sight. My confidence is better and also the physical symptoms have significantly reduced. No more diarrhoea or excessive flatulence. I recommend anyone with IBS to give hypnosis a go, it has worked for me and the gain from this is priceless. Thanks Rob
Depression
Since I have started working with Rob it has been a bit like a roller coaster there have been ups and downs, but Rob has always given me coping strategies to help me. I now feel much more balanced, focussed and relaxed now.
The best thing that has happened for me is that my children, family and friends have seen a change in me especially in the last month.
Fears and phobias
Hi Rob,
I did it! Three injections, no fainting, no crying and no panicking…….
With the techniques you ran through with me, I was able to remain calm and relaxed and take full control of my thoughts and breathing resulting in successful vaccinations. Thank you so much for your help and techniques……….Many Thanks
I went to see Rob because I had a fear of flying and to be honest I was not sure that hypnotherapy could solve my problem. The panic and fear I felt every time I thought about holidays abroad or flying made me physically sick. I would not enjoy the thought of going away or get excited as I was always worried about the flight. Even when relaxing on holiday the journey home was looming and I would start to get very tense and worried about getting home.
It is wonderful how I feel now, I am actually looking forward to holidays and flying and I no longer worry or feel sick. I now feel great I can enjoy the whole holiday from start to finish. Hypnotherapy has changed my life not only with the fear fo flying, but with several other fears I had before such as fear of enclosed spaces and a fear of rats and now both fears don’t even exist anymore. I am now happy, confident and much more relaxed than I used to be.
It is amazing I can’t believe that having hypnotherapy could make such a difference to my life now I can enjoy everything and feel great. Thanks Rob
Stop Smoking
“I suspect you get little feedback on your sessions so I just wanted to let you know that since I came to see you in November 2003 I haven’t even thought about cigarettes, let alone been tempted. I am absolutely thrilled with the result and really cannot understand why everybody doesn’t try this method”
