Hypnotherapy: The Secret to Flying Without Fear
Background Brian was a 40-year-old man who had a moderate fear of flying since his early twenties. He had flown on a plane a few times before, but he always felt anxious, tense, and uncomfortable during the flight. He avoided flying as much as possible and preferred to travel by car or train.

Case Study: Hypnotherapy for Fear of Vegetables in an 8-year-old Boy
Introduction I usually don't share case studies on this platform, but I had a fascinating conversation with a friend recently. We were talking about how many people are unaware of the benefits of hypnotherapy and how it can help them live more comfortably and happily. My friend told me that she had no idea about the potential of hypnotherapy until she met me...and she suggested that I should post some case studies to spread the word. So, here is the first one (I have changed the names and details to respect the client's privacy). Background Adnam is an 8-year-old boy who has a severe fear of vegetables (lachanophobia). He refuses to eat any vegetables and gags or vomits if he tries. He only eats a very limited diet of chips, chicken nuggets, pizza, and chocolate. His parents are worried … [Read more...] about Case Study: Hypnotherapy for Fear of Vegetables in an 8-year-old Boy
A Weight Reduction Case Study
Read on to find out how one of our elderly clients achieved weight loss success on our The Slimming Guru programme - and how you can too. About Kelly Kelly is an older lady who had Type 2 Diabetes and had recently begun insulin treatment for this, resulting in a 28 pound (approx 12.5 kg) weight gain, in a very short period of time. Feeling quite dispondent, she decided to "give hypnotherapy a try". Baseline Measurements Kelly's baseline (starting) measurements were recorded and the plan was to omit week 2 measurement, because size/weight reduction can be slow to start for people who are post-menopausal - and also in diabetics on insulin treatment. We have found that delaying repeat measurements until the beginning of week 3 can increase motivation in this client group. Why not measure … [Read more...] about A Weight Reduction Case Study
