Emetophobia Client

Hi Simon,

For as long as I can remember I had suffered with emetophobia. I had tried some other therapies but nothing had helped in the long run. Out of desperation to do something to "cure" this phobia I read about someone who had been through a course of "Pure Hypnoanalysis" and found a resolution to their phobia about vomiting. How could this therapy help? I had been hypnotised in the past but that didn't cure me! 

I researched "Pure Hypnoanalysis" on the web and came across your web site .I contacted you by email and told you all of my "symptoms". As sufferers of this phobia will know it is not the sort of phobia you can chat about with your mates - ‘I am scared of spiders, I am scared of heights, I can’t sit in a public toilet in case someone is sick’ -  and when you read this back to yourself after you've written it, it sounds ridiculous but I wrote it anyway.

You responded by email and I telephoned you to arrange an initial meeting. Filled with dread I arrived to meet you. Would you make me talk about vomiting? Would you make me visualise anything to do with vomiting?  What was I doing to put myself in this situation?

No need to panic, you put me completely at ease right from the "off". Through "Pure Hypnoanalysis" you use free association where you tell the therapist everything that comes into your mind and sorry for you that I did .You never judged me or made me feel stupid when I laughed or cried or talked. You never led me in any way, I did all the work but you were there to "hold my hand" throughout, never making me uncomfortable with all my ramblings.

Obviously my therapy is personal to me - but I would not of been able to have gone through it and come out the other side as I have, had it not been for you, Simon. You need to be able to trust your therapist especially when you need to confide and tell everything, but you put me so at ease with everything, this was never a problem with you. Even in the middle of my therapy when I came out with the doubts of "this is not working and why am I doing this?" you again explained about this as part of the ongoing process and I continued to progress to the end of my therapy.

The end of my therapy……….I am not able to do you justice in writing this to express how different I feel from the person who first walked through your door. I would urge anyone who is suffering not just from emetophobia but any kind of phobia, to try this therapy with you. I have had a life changing moment after being through this with you Simon. I cannot express how I feel. I can only say a million times over thank you. If I can do one thing for you it is to testify that you are without a doubt a kind and thoughtful therapist and I am so glad that I took the initial step to contact you. Thank you for giving me back my life.

Chronic Fatigue Client

"I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (also known as ME or Yuppie flu) two years ago.  This condition changed my life radically.  The medical world has mixed opinions about the cause; I had a virus although this may have been a coincidence. What they do agree on is a cure – they don’t have one!  Treatment consists of a system of pacing activity, regular breaks, antidepressants and getting on with it.

My symptoms included: short-term memory loss, muscular pain in my legs and arms, limited concentration, diminished lucidity (I seemed vague to many people) and of course unending tiredness and non-restful sleep.

Imagine a walk from the sofa to the kitchen, (about twenty metres) being too far to go.  Imagine taking a shower knowing that the effort used showering would mean you’d need to sleep for two hours afterwards.  Imagine talking to work-colleagues and not be able to complete a sentence because you are not able to recall simple, every-day words.  Imagine not being able to plan your life from one day to the next because all plans revolve around how unwell you are on that day.  That was my life - for two years.

Then imagine a friend suggesting hypnotherapy.

The treatment itself is easy, Simon takes you step-by-step to the place that you need to be. Being hypnotised just means you feel very relaxed and calm, as though you are just about to drop off to sleep.  All you need to do is follow his instructions and be open to the idea that hypnotherapy will work. 

Let me tell you about my life now. I control my life these days not my illness; chronic fatigue robs me of nothing.  Since my course of hypnotherapy, I go to the gym at least three times a week.  I go away every weekend. I sing in a choir. I do housework (when the mood takes me).  I’ve got so much to catch up on, two years in fact.
Imagine feeling normal again; I don’t need to imagine any more.
