Hypnotherapy has changed me for the better

I first began hypnotherapy sessions a year and a half ago to help depression, anxiety attacks and a driving fear.
Rachel has really helped me train my brain to have a different outlook on life, to not hold on to the past and to move forward to the future. So much so, I have since been in a situation which would have been a huge trigger for me, but using hypnotherapy techniques I faced it head on and I am so glad I did.
Hypnotherapy has changed me for the better and I have noticed that I now have an old me and a new me. I will never look back to who I used to be again.
Thanks again Rachel!

My needle phobia has gone

I had been scared of needles since a bad experience at school when had an injection.  Ever since that day I have avoided needles but wanted to have my helix pierced and of course they use a needle.  I went last year and managed to have my ear lobes pierced with a traditional gun and that was enough I couldn’t go through with the helix piercing and nearly passed out!

This week I visited Rachel and she did a rewind/reframe to help me and it worked.  I had my piercing done today with no issues at all, I don’t know what I was scared of, it took seconds and I was totally fine.  I’m now looking forward to visiting again.  Thanks Rachel x

Anxiety

I have suffered with anxiety for years and nothing has worked to help me get where I want to be, that was before I met Rachel at Oak Tree Hypnotherapy, Westbury. I was very sceptical about it but thought I would give it a go.

I see Rachel most weeks and I look forward to that 50 mins of chat and relaxation. It has helped me in so many ways with my anxiety but also I was going for an interview and Rachel did a reframe to help me and on that day I was calm and confident even the mess up at the interview.

If anybody is thinking they don’t think it will work give it a go and you may be surprised. I have tried counselling etc and nothing has worked. I have gone into this with an open mind and I will not look back. I will get to where I need to be……..

Driving Test Nerves

I was worried about taking my test and although I knew I could drive really well I was sure that on the day I would fail due to my nerves. I visited Rachel for one session and she did a reframe on me. She told me that if my brain got used to the positive images of me passing my test it would calm my nerves on the day and I would feel positive and in control. I had the session and took away a recording to continue listening to.

On my test day I had a lesson and then went to the test centre. I was waiting for the panic to set it but it didn’t ! I felt calm and totally in control throughout the test even when I was thrown some very difficult situations to cope with.  My examiner said I drove extremely well and confidently.

I passed my test with only 3 minors. I couldn’t have done it without Rachel’s help and highly recommend hypnotherapy for anyone taking their test for the first time or have found they have failed as a result of their nerves.
