ENDORSEMENTS
THERAPY ENDORSEMENTS
The following are unsolicited comments that clients have sent to Deborah in letters and cards after undergoing hypnotherapy.
General
- "Thank you for a great session -- feeling very positive!"
- "I wouldn't have known where to have started. Then, when I saw that piece [Flustered about Flushing, Marie Claire, March 2000], I thought -- this is my chance to do something!"
- "I have never before seen the wisdom that is there inside me."
- "I have found it a very powerful experience and hope to find it in me to go further."
-
"Interactive hypnosis provided me with very wonderful insights, images and processes with which to work, ones that I can keep in mind as I prepare for the shows."
-
I found the session very therapeutic and calming. I played your tape last night when I was in bed and was fast asleep before the end."
-
"You have been a spiritual rock of Gibraltar, Deborah. Your inspiration, encouragement, and joy have propelled me forward and helped me to relinquish old fears and trust my focus. Thank you for everything!" (London, December 2006)
Thank you ...
- "Thanks so much for the session the other night, it's clear to me already that it's had a huge impact. What you do is truly amazing, and I am really looking forward to our next session "
(London, January 2005)
-
"I wish to thank you so much for a wonderful experience. Today I feel so calm and peaceful, like never before."
(Malta, August 2004)
-
"I just wanted to drop you a line following my session ... It worked! I am absolutely delighted and feel so much better for it, you can't imagine. I've left it a month before writing as I wanted to be absolutely sure -- but now I am. Thank you so much."
(London, August 2004)
-
"Thank you ... so much for the wonderful session. I can feel the magic taking place already. Looking forward to our next meeting."
-
"Thank you ... for your positive attitude and your uplifting nature."
-
"I've been lost without this tape!"
-
"I feel wonderful!"
-
"Thank you ... once again for our work together. It is almost magical!"
-
"Thank you ... once again for all your help. I wish we'd met a couple of months ago. However, all's well that ends well."
-
"Thank you ... for listening."
-
"Thank you ... for the hypnotherapy session. It was very releasing."
-
"Thank you ... for bringing me back into the land of the living."
-
"Thank you ... for providing valued insight into my subconscious."
-
"Thanks .... for all your help. It was good to meet you and I look forward to seeing you next Wednesday. I've already thought of some other team members who can join us!"
"I just cannot believe it! You have done it! As I walked out of your front door, I knew the twitch had left me, and it has not come back! I'm overcome with thanks to you. I did very much enjoy my visit, but I think we can now cancel my appoinment for Thursday. If I ever have any more odd happenings, I shall most certainly come back to you. I'm now looking forward to reading your book. My thanks again."
"Many thanks for the wonderful session on Friday. I am looking forward to testing my new 'flying confidence' soon."
"I can't begin to tell you how exciting life has been since I last saw you. I've started writing with more clarity than I have ever experienced. I am truely amazed at how quickly my pen is able to flow: it's as if it has a mind of its own. My internal language is also changing by the second, erasing all my negative thoughts as they come to mind. The hard disk is working very well."
"I just wanted to write and say thank you. I felt the hypnotherapy was really special and that it helped me. My nails are already starting to grow! But more than that I feel calmer and more confident - happier even."
After just two sessions
"Hi Deborah, this is just a note to say that I would like to cancel our arranged appointment this Wednesday, the reason being that I have noticed a significant difference since the appointments." (London, January 2006).
Insomnia
"Congratulations. I slept and dreamed. There was a leaf falling from an autumn tree. The smell of ozone from a nearby lightning bolt and the sound of water flowing down a stream. It was rainy and I liked it. I wasn't alone and you can guess who was with me. [The Inner Team: 'Enjoyment' and 'Girlfriend'.] I woke up to recreate the same scenario. Lightning from a high-voltage supply I built from a scrap TV set. Water and mist from a pond fogger.Incense. And red wine. I know how to enjoy life hey?" (Malta, August 2004)
Confidence and self-esteem
"I don't really know how, or why -- but, yes, I felt it straight away. I felt like I wanted to put on different clothes. It was like -- I'm fine. I don't have to hide behind anything." (London, 2002)
Emotional Development
- "You will always have a special place in my heart. You have provided me with so much strength and confidence and helped propel my life to a different stratosphere.My 'beyond words' relationship has been magical and amazingly real, and only now do I realise what I had been missing and cannot imagine life without him. Continue doing your wonderful magic Deborah, I am sure we will catch up in the near future." (Thailand, 2006)
-
"As you say not wishing to 'inconvenience people for my right reasons'... is now a thing of the past - I will feel good about my choice! I bought your book at HB Health and the audio tape arrived a couple of hours ago. It's great to have a reminder of your amazingly soothing voice. I've read about half the book - though not in enough detail and feel it's going to help tremendously. It's uncanny how so many areas and case studies were so similar to our encounters; it will be a great memory jogger of our two fantastic sessions. I can't wait to try out the 'orange liquid detox'. I still feel quite euphoric and have a 'glowing' sensation within myself. I'm noticing that I'm challenging any negative / unkind thoughts, but in a constructive way - won't accept a direct 'ticking off' from myself it has to be firm but in a reasonable tone. Thank you once again." (London, 2007)
Performance Anxiety for Stage Performers
"Hope all is well with you. Lovely to get your email, all is well with me -- the nerves have now really gone and I'm back to my old self, with the exception of having lost six stones in weight. I think about what you did to help me at a time when everything was going wrong and just wanted to say thanks again, really. Last year I sang major roles at a lot of big European houses. I've told loads of people about my troubles because there are so many singers who suffer badly with nerves, and most of them develop the problem after their having been singing for ten years or so, just like myself. People are ashamed of losing their nerve, because they don't want to show a weakness, but I wamnt people to know that you can come back. I've given your numnber to quite a few people. I gave it to another tenor just today, so I hope they come and see you." (London, 2007)
Skiing
Well I had an absolutely fantastic skiing holiday -- probably the best from a skiing point of view! I skied to my ability and possibly a little beyond without fear and almost no apprehension -- but quickly overcame this by relaxing, thinking positively, calling up "Confidence" and fingering "my orange detox beads"! I really gained a great sense of achievement - so far from the bleak disappointment of the previous trip. Letting myself go become all too apparent with one spectacular wipe out, where I jettisoned both skis and even a glove. It was a euphoric experience, where I realized the positive result of making that mistake was just to get buried in snow, rather than the previous negative thought of possibly getting hurt. I've come home with hardly any bruises, only minor aches and pains and feeling much less tired than I normally would after a strenuous week's skiing. A relaxed approach makes such a difference!
One final skiing point - a sense of déjà vu! I skied by myself for about an hour just after lunch on the final afternoon, while some others went tobogganing - happy with my choice. I reached the crest of a moderately steep section with some moguls to one side - didn't stop, happy to tackle the slope head on. At the bottom, as I looked back up, I realized I was seeing myself again. I had totally re-created the scene you had asked me to imagine on the 30-metre cinema screen!
Since our sessions I have become much more relaxed and calmer. Confidence is abundant and hence there are far fewer inhibitions. Even my husband has noticed and the effects are rubbing off. There's an added bonus of our sex life moving up a notch, can't be bad!!!
Thank you very much in deed for all your help.
Weddings
- "I had a wonderful wedding day, and want to thank you very much for the key part you played in this. Everyone said how radiant I looked which was a major achievement on your part, Many thanks. I will email you with the photos when available!"
- "Thank you so much for your lovely card. The wedding went really well. We had a lovely day and an even better honeymoon in Mauritius. Thank you for all your love and support this year"
- "I am a huge fan of your work, I think it really works. It definitely helped me during my wedding."
Fear of flying
"I made it! Flights were fine, there and back. Nervous, but I remembered all we discussed. Pink, happiness, etc. The wedding and weekend were wonderful. Thanks for all your help!"
"Just to finally say a very big thank you for all your help and advice! The flights to and from the US were absolutely great -- completely thanks to your therapy!!! We had the most wonderful time in America and I'm sure I'm going to travel to many more far way countries in the future. The whole hypnotherapy experience has opened up a completely new prospect in my life. Deborah, I just don't know how to thank you. I'm sure I'm going to come and see you again some time! Thank you so much again!" (London, August 2004)
"Just thought I'd drop you a line to share the success of yet another good flight! Five hours economy class to Cyprus -- lots of turbulance -- me and my nerves totally intact! Thanks again!"
Career and Business Development
"It has been a pleasure to meet you and talk with someone so positive and open-minded. We will not hesitate in recommending you to any of our clients who need your help. I have enclosed some of our cards/flyers." Liberate365 Ltd
Mind Detox (book and audio-tape)
"For four months my life has been undergoing the most profound and dramatic changes, stimulated and constantly accompanied by your voice and your ideas via Mind Detox. After years of exhaustive self-analysis, I at last found the stimulus I needed to make things happen for me."
Detox eased my depression
"I had depression and was feeling really low when a friend lent me Deborah's book. The concept was new to me but after reading the exercises it seemed to make sense. At first I found the visualisation part a bit tricky but after a while I found the concept of thinking of my mind as a 'team' such an easy way of understanding my conflicting emotions, and had great fun picking players to help banish my blues! The exercises are easy and the results instant. Now, every time I'm low. I do a quick detox and feel more sparky."
[from Here's Health magazine June 1999]
"I have taken great delight in reading your book I'm Afraid of Hypnosis But I Don't Know Why. As a fairly recently qualified hypnotherapist I found it very helpful in having some indicationof possible preconceived ideas."
Freedom from depression
"Thank you ... for being there, and for such an incredible session today. I am still floating. I drove home with a smile constantly coming up and nudging me. I will check to see if 'Perky' will expect overtime rates."
Fear of ... Relationships
"As you said, some day I would contact you and say ... I have a wonderful serious boyfriend and my weight is stable! Hurrah! (The more men are attracted to me the safer I become.) Thanks!"
Fear of ... Insects
[A client who had a fear of moths and butterflies.] "I thought you might be interested to know that I have been to the Horniman Museum a couple of times since we met. I've been able to look closely at the butterflies, both English and tropical, with no feelings of anxiety at all (although I did, on the first occasion have an overwhelming sense of how alien the whole situation of my looking at butterflies really was). Since my trip, I have had to put my new-found butterfly friendliness to the test, unexpectedly at a couple of flea markets -- and didn't have any problems at all. I even managed, on my most recent Horniman visit, to play with a moth wing, in a sealed jar, while my nephew and I looked at its spots under the microscope. Friends and family are amazed."
Fear of ... Driving
"Thank you for the tremendous help you gave me in overcoming my fear of driving. I would never have believed it could happen! I now drive happily and with a much increased enjoyment of life and confidence. I am most grateful for the help you gave me in overcoming my fear. It gave me confidence to accept a school place for M. which requires me to drive him to school. I will certainly come back to you in the future to help overcome other fears such as swimming phobia."
Fear of ... Dentistry
"Thanks for all your help this year. My brace is doing well and one of the gaps has filled already!"
Fear of ... blushing
"I now know where it [the blushing] stems from. I feel a weight has lifted completely."
"I have felt so much more relaxed. I have not been talking down to myself. I am generally a lot lighter. I cannot believe I've noticed the difference so quickly. I really can't believe it. Incredible!"
"I felt like I'd really come back from a holiday -- a real buzz!"
Fear of ... Enclosed Spaces
"You'll never guess, but I actually went to Paris on Eurostar!"
Smoking
"I came to you to give up smoking one year ago. Thanks to you I am still a non-smoker."
Sexual Dysfunction
"I am very happy to tell you that the sessions were a great success, and my life has returned to normal."
Musicianship and Memory
"The session has already had a positive influence on my musicianship. A few weeks ago I played without any problems memorizing the melody."
The subconscious ...
"I love my subconscious. My subconscious is like an angel. It helps me all the time. Wonderful stories ... Wonderful memories ... Wonderful designs for my life ... I respect it and I thank it very much. I thank it for the wonderful relationship we have and the companionship it has. It has opened the door and was ready to give me the answers."
Comments from other therapists
"A technique that is full of audible interaction between therapist, subconscious, and client -- leaving little doubt that the therapy is having its effect"
"I was really impressed by your style and hope that I can adopt some it as my own. You gave me some great ideas and instilled some more confidence."
Direct suggestion versus interactive hypnotherapy
A male client reflecting on his experience of direct suggestion hypnotherapy:
"I sat and listened for twenty minutes to a prepared script. It didn't dent the surface. Nice words but they went over the top. I didn't feel them inside me. I came away feeling no different."
A female client reflecting on her first session of interactive hypnotherapy:
"I feel much more confident about it. There is nothing pushy about it. It's a bit of a wonderment. It gives me so much food for thought and that in itself is good. The words stay there and you can feed on them."
