Enhanced Hypnotherapy solves Bed-wetting problem.

Letter written by client to G.P:

I am writing to thank you for your help in trying to sort out my son's enuresis (bed wetting) problem and thought you'd be interested to know that he's had very considerable success with hypnotherapy - three "wets" in three months compared with three per week on the last course of Desmopressin.

You may find it useful to know that Fabien Decodts, Hypnotherapist, has very much helped me to cope with the traumas of divorce and a hysterectomy. I hope this recommendation may help some of your patients.Mrs B. (Mother)

Enhanced Hypnotherapy contributes to sporting success
I would like to thank you for the excellent results that were attained following just one hypnotherapy session with you. The feelings of tension and nervousness that I had when cycling in a bunch or descending have now gone and I now feel much more relaxed and confident on the bike. I found the techniques that you used to be rational and well explained and this contributed to the success achieved.Steve (Professional cyclist)

Delegates praise Enhanced Hypnotherapy for the 'LifeChanges' seminar.
After suffering from depression and anxiety for a couple of years I decided to take the bull by the horns and take control of my life.

After speaking to Fabien Decodts, my hypnotherapist, I decided to undertake a course called LifeChanges, which would give me the chance to change and control aspects of my life, ranging from my finances to my personal and social life.

The human psyche is a very difficult muscle to control if you don't know how, but I am now very aware of how this works and how I can control it. This is only thanks to LifeChanges, as it was something I was completely unaware of before undertaking the course.

The eight-week seminar/course dealt with a number of issues, which I found invaluable and that were also extremely easy to incorporate into my daily routine. The tasks set for us were always fun, amusing and the atmosphere was fantastic. One of the discussions we undertook dealt with how to manage your own finances and how to cope with and get rid of debt.

There has since been a fundamental change in my personal situation. I worked outhow to get rid of my debt and to this day the only debt I'm now paying off is just one single loan. My store cards, credit card and car loan have now all been paid off in a very short timescale. My own determination, with the help I received from LifeChanges, has made this happen.

Health, diet, exercise, stress and many other topics were presented in away that was both fun and informative and to this day I have been able to manage my life in a completely different way, for the better.

I cannot recommend this course enough if you want to change your outlook on life, take control and make yourself a better person.

Thanks to the course I am now NEARLY debt-free and a more outgoing, positive person, something that I would never have thought could happen!Phil

Enhanced Hypnotherapy cures IBS
I wanted to write and let you know what a difference you've made to my life in the short time I've been coming to see you.

As you know, I had been suffering from IBS over 5 years and had started to believe that it would always be a part of my life. Over the years I had tried just about everything anyone suggested to me that might help, but until now nothing had ever made any real difference to my symptoms. I'm not sure what made me think of trying hypnotherapy, but now I only wish I had thought of it, or had it suggested to me years ago.

I was obviously sceptical to begin with, having had no real medical success with other, more conventional methods to treating IBS. I also confess that I was still dubious even after the session, as the Time Line Therapy seemed a bit strange to me!

However, since that day I have waited and waited for my usual symptoms to appear and now, five weeks on, I still have not had the slightest twinge. I knew my IBS very well and therefore know that this is no coincidence. In fact, with every day that passes I feel more and more convinced that I am free from IBS for good.

I am so amazed by the results of the hypnotherapy that I intend to write to my GP to tell her about my experiences and urge her to recommend other IBS sufferers to you. I simply cannot keep this to myself.

Finally, I want to let you know that I have found your hypnotherapy sessions not only effective but also relaxing and enjoyable. Hypnosis is truly a fascinating science and I can't wait to find out what else it can do for me.

Thank you for your understanding and such sensitive skills. I am so pleased that I came to visit you and would strongly recommend you to any person requiring help.Karen (Registered nurse & ex IBS sufferer)

Enhanced Hypnotherapy helps Bereavement
Since knowing Fabien, my whole life has greatly improved and finally returned to normality.

Two years ago my husband suddenly collapsed and died, despite my efforts to resuscitate him. The only way I could cope with the effects of this traumatic memory was not to allow myself to think about it at all. So, abnormally, I kept myself busy all day and I kept my T.V and side light on all night.

Luckily, my friend’s daughter had visited Fabien and having talked to her I realised I needed his help, because I was not sleeping or eating properly either. As a result, I lacked concentration and constantly had to force myself to go out and put on a brave face, something I felt was expected of me as I had been a nurse for all of my working life.

I was concerned about being hypnotised though, having seen it on television, but she said you just feet very relaxed and you could continually hear his voice talking to you.

I was nervous on my first visit but Fabien had the ability to immediately put me at ease, he was extremely kind and listened very sympathetically to all my problems. He quickly diagnosed that I was still very traumatised and suffering from depression but that this could be treated successfully.

After just three sessions, and with his different techniques, I can finally allow myself to think of the past without the awful images of that night immediately appearing. I can also clearly remember the happier times my husband and I had spent together, something that had not been previously possible, due to the effects of the trauma.

My sleep pattern is now far healthier, I am waking up and feeling more refreshed and wanting to go out, and my appetite and concentration are recovering well. I have every confidence in Fabien’s excellent knowledge and skills and it has been a great comfort to me knowing he is there with help when necessary.

I really am grateful and I wish I had known about him at the outset of what had turned out to be the two worse years of my life.Mary (Bereaved wife and ex-PTSD sufferer)

Enhanced Hypnotherapy resolves confidence issues
I wanted to put virtual pen to virtual paper to thank you for helping me to sort many aspects of my life into an order I can happily work with. Throughout all our dealings I have felt safe, connected and able to trust you with any information I brought to a session. I definitely feel I understand and like myself more. A couple of very close friends, on separate occasions, have mentioned that they had really noticed a positive difference in me and in my level of confidence. This is since meeting you, and only happened with your help and guidance.

I would also like to say I have never had a dull and/or unenjoyable session with you. Crusty you are not! Thanks once again.Patrisha (helped with confidence issues)

Enhanced Hypnotherapy prevents smoking cravings
My name is Angie, I am 47 years old and employed as a registered nurse, I had been a heavy smoker for more years than I care to remember (about 35 years in fact). Despite numerous attempts to stop, including hypnotherapy (but not with Fabien) I had continued to smoke until now.

It took two sessions with Fabien to make me a non-smoker. Sure, I could still smoke a cigarette, but I have absolutely no desire or need to do so.

Fabien has done what his guarantee says, through hypnosis he has stopped my cravings for tobacco and my desire to smoke.Angie (Registered nurse)

Enhanced Hypnotherapy stops compulsive habits
I had been pulling my hair out for over 30 years, which felt like a constant battle going on in my head, with me trying to stop myself. I felt controlled by a habit I couldn't stop.

I tried starting every day with a fresh resolve to stop, but I just couldn't. I felt ashamed and embarrassed. I'd had enough and realised I had to get help because I just couldn't stop on my own.

Fabien put me at ease and made me feel relaxed. He was understanding and genuinely wanted to help. He explained what would happen and how I would feel. I have to say, hypnosis is a lovely state of mind - I felt totally relaxed.

Six weeks on - it's amazing! The habit has gone, like it had never been there. No urges or thoughts to pull my hair. It's hard to explain but my mind has been wiped clean of the problem. There's just a vague memory left, of something I used to do.

It's wonderful to be free, there's more space in my head. I feel more confident and in control of my actions now - it feels great! I don't know how it works, I don't care. It just does. You just have to relax, let it happen and be free.Liz (Ex-compulsive hair-puller)

Enhanced Hypnotherapy cures Arachnophobia
CALLING ALL ARACHNOPHOBES! I have endured the irrational panic and inconvenience of arachnophobia since an unfortunate incident involving a spider at the age of 6. Over the years, friends and family have suggested that I try some 'therapy' but I have vehemently resisted any such intervention in the belief that the cure would have to involve an intolerably terrifying experience.

I entered into a conversation about phobias with Fabien out of curiosity and professional interest, and found myself agreeing to allow him to practise his art on me. The result was quite startling. After one and a half hours of his intensive therapy, including a form of hypnosis and TFT, I had gained control over my emotional response to still and moving images of massive tropical spiders, which had previously induced an uncontrollable panic reaction.

Fabien's approach was reassuring throughout, showing understanding and empathy of my predicament, and he inspired total confidence that I could be 'cured'. I would have no hesitation in recommending this technique to any of my patients. It is quick, effective and pain free! Many thanks for your help, Fabien.Dr Elizabeth V House. General Practitioner, North Yorkshire

Enhanced Hypnotherapy overcomes dog phobia
I am just writing to let you know how I am getting on after my session of hypnotherapy with you. As you know, my fear of dogs was so strong that I found going outside very difficult, almost impossible. Just the thought of coming across a dog sent me into a panic and I frequently had panic attacks as a result.

When I came to see you, I never believed I would overcome my fear. I'd almost convinced myself that I was beyond help and was destined to live my life in fear. However you were very patient with me, you knew exactly what I was thinking and you actually got me to relax and feel confident again. You returned my life to me and I have regained control of it.

After our session you took me to the Cathedral Green, found a dog and convinced it's owner to bring it over to me. And nothing! No fear, no panic, no wild thoughts, nothing.

It was hard for me to believe it, but I wasn't afraid, and didn't want to run away, it was amazing. I hadn't been near a dog since I was about three years old, and yet there I was, standing next to a Bull Terrier. I was just speechless, and after only one session!

Since I saw you, I have been out and about and it has been brilliant. I have been out with my children and I am calm and relaxed. I'm not snapping at them or constantly looking around, dreading what could happen. I can finally do my own shopping now.

So I am writing this letter to thank you for giving me my life back and for giving my children a proper mum, someone who can go to the park or to school with them.

Thank you.Mrs Agget (Ex-post traumatic stress sufferer)

Enhanced Hypnotherapy controls anxiety & depression
I'm a health care professional & have worked alongside a multi-professional team for quite some time. The medical model was evidently, I thought, the preferred route in dealing with depression/anxiety, with counselling as a secondary measure (...) So, when I began to feel depressed & anxious all the time I decided to deal with my problems on my own. I did not want to take medication as suggested by my G.P. I had witnessed too many people being prescribed anti-depressants & when that didn't work then try another. I did not want that. I wanted a way to deal with my problems without medication.

I decided to try Counselling as I was having suicidal thoughts & regular panic attacks. It took months of counselling before I began to talk about my past. There were so many traumatic events from my childhood the process felt like it would go on forever. I felt constantly suicidal & hated myself even more. I didn't know what to do with all these bad memories I was recalling. After each session I would feel sick & very depressed. I had counselling for two years & then decided to stop. My counsellor didn't agree as I still felt anxious, panicky & occasional had suicidal thoughts.

Counselling did help clarify some of my experiences but I still had the same emotions of dread, guilt, depression & aggressive outbursts. For about 6 years after I managed my own problems with many bouts of depression, regular panic attacks & low self-esteem. The reason I decided to try Hypnotherapy was because I had an interview for a job & felt I needed a boost in confidence.

I was hesitant at first but I really wanted this job so I was willing to give it a go. On my first visit I listened to Fabien explain the process & how he could help me gain confidence & I begin to believe in myself. The session was based on Neuro-Linguistic Programming [and] on the interview day I would say I was 60% better than I would have been.

I returned to see Fabien to discuss whether I would benefit from following a course of hypno-analysis, as I was still feeling anxious with regular panic attacks & suffering from mood swings. When I disclosed briefly my childhood experiences it became evident that this therapy could help me in the search for inner healing and peace of mind. As a child I was consistently abused both emotionally & physically, mainly by my mother. A stranger also sexually abused me at the age of 9 years.

...Later I felt like the responsibility & burden of carrying all those bad experiences had been lifted & taken away from me (...) In one session I spoke about an abortion I had 16 years ago. I thought I accepted my decision but I felt so guilty when I spoke about it. (...) A day or so later I felt different lighter, happier & more focused on the future.

... I feel I have grown as a person in so many ways & it is thanks to Fabien's positive belief in his profession as a Hypnotherapist. I now feel confident & I believe in myself. I walk in a different way & I feel I have control of my life. I no longer suffer from panic attacks, mood swings & depression. It's changed my life for the better. My memories of the past are of sadness but they no longer burden me. I'm definitely different in how I react to situations, I feel calmer & clearer in my decision-making.

I would not hesitate to recommend this therapy. It takes courage, time & most importantly trust (...) I'm now in a management position, whereas eight months ago I was suffering from depression with regular panic attacks. I was prescribed with anti-depressants but didn't take them. I was unemployed & socially isolating myself. Things couldn't be more different now. I'm the only one who knows just how much I have changed, I feel more balanced as a person & I like myself.Mrs G. (Registered nurse)

Enhanced Hypnotherapy controls anxiety & depression
I initially contacted Fabien because I wanted to stop smoking, but it became clear that I also had other issues that required working on.

Looking inward at one's self is not a prospect many people would relish but with Fabien's patience and professional manner I was able to look at some very difficult issues with clarity and probably for the first time, honestly.

I would not, and will not, hesitate to recommend his service to family and friends, also to clients within my professional working environment.Penny (ex anxiety sufferer)
