Thank you Clinton & Edna, Not only did I learn some great new skills but I received tremendous personal benefit from the Hypnosis classes. It's always a challenge to keep my personal stress levels to a minimum but I  gained many valuable tools that I have integrated into my life and my work.
 Thanks so much,

Hello Clint,
 
 I will be more than glad to endorse your hypnosis training.  It has been an invaluable experience to me - both as a clinician and as an active participant in the hypnosis process.  I walked away inspired, challenged, and above all, well equipped with a very useful and beneficial clinical tool for my everyday work with clients.  I am using clinical hypnosis techniques several times a week, at times multiple times during the same day.  I had a very positive response from my clients - they report  "beneficial insights, understandings, getting unstuck, and feeling calm, confident and self-assured to deal with any problems at hand".   I also had success with weight control issues and resolving feelings regarding past abuse issues.   I am "bragging" about the usefulness of clinical hypnosis techniques to all my collegues - and I hope that they too want to challenge themselves to learn this incredibly effective therapy technique.

 Thank you so much Clint and Edna!


You will be interested to note that the April 2006 Women's Health magazine addressed the benefits of hypnotherapy in their section "Health Report", titled Gut Reaction-- I quote "Stomach more sensitive than a freckled nose on a sunny day? Calm it down the holistic way. A study in the journal 'GUT' has found that hypnotherapy can ease symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, a disorder that causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation in one in five Americans (mostly women). Researchers surveyed 204 patients before, immediately after, and six years after treatment and found that 12 1-hour sessions of hypnotherapy eased suffering in 80% of IBS patients and kept symptoms away for at least 5 years. 'Sufferers learn to gain control of their gut function,' explains study coauthor Peter Whorwell, M.D.  Health insurance may reimburse for treatment if billed as psychological therapy. Visit ibshypnotherapy.com to find a qualified hypnotherapist in your area."

This former class member can attest to the veracity of that account- and we did not directly work on that issue in class. After a traumatic motor vehicle accident 4 years ago, the immediate after effect was labeled PTSD. But I experienced a secondary effect, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, at times of high anxiety. At that time, and for several years afterwards, I was working for Hospice which can be stressful to those with the strongest of constitutions. I had resigned myself to be cursed with this ailment for the rest of my life. I really do not know the How or Why, but after classes finished, and several months had passed (some much more stressful than any Hospice invoked anxiety) -- it occurred to me that I had not had an IBS attack in over 6 months. :-) is that not Fantastic!!! Again we did not Directly work on the IBS but on the triggers (anxiety, confidence building, self esteem, etc). You can call this my testimony and share it with others if you like. :-)
God bless you and your healing practice,
Love,
Becca
PS. I'll let you know when I hit the 5 year symptom free mark.

Clint:
Yes, I did get the NBCCH.  I am absolutely loving hypnosis in my work and I am getting better each day.  I am so glad I talked you into offering the training.  You have made my ability to serve my clients much more effective.
 
I have begun using Bilateral Reprocessing in hypnotherapy with excellent efficacy for panic disorder and other anxiety disorders.  I have one 29 year old female client who has had panic and bulemia since age 16 and has suffered almost daily.  She has now gone for two weeks without binging, purging, panic or other symptoms.  I am very excited about hypnotherapy in my work.  Again, thank you for allowing me to begin using hypnosis.  I think of you often and I am always grateful for your contribution to my life in general.
