Just a quick update on how I am doing with the quitting smoking. I have to admit that I am completely amazed by how easy I have found it since my session 4 weeks ago today. I have no cravings and enjoy a certain sense smugness when I see others smoke so all I can say is thanks. I have passed your details onto a number of people who have shown interest in seeing you.

Hi Steve,

Just an update to let you know that I am doing really well since our last consultation.

I'm not craving foods as much as I was and I find that if I do have a little something I don’t feel the guilt I used to feel and don't feel as if I may get out of control. One of the biggest things is that if I get full I just stop eating which is something that I could never do before - I just could never leave food or waste it - but I just throw it away now.

I've lost more weight and everyone is commenting on it and I feel so much better - I feel as if I've been set free!
I've also been good with the birds and animals in general - I don’t feel so averse to them and I mentioned last time I haven't had any migraines whilst I've been seeing you even though I never mentioned them to you.

I wanted to thank you for our sessions. You got the measure of me almost immediately and made the process work to great effect. It's amazing to me how that happens - and what you do to make it happen - when mostly I was quite unaware of the process at work.

I don't know whether you know how helpful you have been - not only in leading me to the point where I could begin to help myself but also in giving me some confidence again in my abilities.

We had a great trip. I am delighted to tell you that I have improved tremendously since my treatment. We had many cups of coffee in public during our stay. I no longer panic when a visit to a cafe is suggested, in fact I was actively trying to practice as much as I could. One day I actually visited a bar on my own and ordered a pint which I drank outside in the sunshine. I felt on top of the world after that. Things at work have also improved a lot. I still feel nervous on occasions but the juddering rarely occurs if at all.

I never mentioned this to you but I used to suffer regular bouts of indigestion, excess flatulence and discomfort and used to put it down to a reaction to various foods. It only occurred to me a couple of weeks ago but I no longer have these problems even when I eat the foods I used to think caused the symptoms.

I just wanted to give you an update.

I have recently had two interviews internally with Sales Directors and although I impressed in the first one I did not get it, however I am please to say I got the second one I went for.

The assessment centre was tough but it was actually something I enjoyed. Just wanted to say thanks for all your help … I had not even had any of the residual effects such as ache in face and tightness in leg etc. Thanks again for sticking with me - I set myself a goal this year of getting a new job and you have helped me do that.

Personal e-mail November 2008

I just wanted to give you a bit of feedback and say a big thank you - I came to see you on 28th Sept and not touched a cigarette since! I cannot believe how easy it has been - it actually feels like I've never smoked and the same goes for my brother who came to see you in August.

We are both extremely grateful for your help.

It's not an exaggeration to say that Stephen has completely changed my life for the better. Before starting work with him my whole life was following the same patterns of underachievement and I was beginning to despair that this was never going to change; seemingly nobody from my friends and family could help me put my finger on what was wrong. Stephen has helped me become the person I've always known I could be and it's an incredible feeling. He is trustworthy and realistic about the limitations of his skills and in my case was accurate about how long it might take to see results. I have no hesitation in recommending his services.

Just wanted to say thank you and give you some feedback. The changes are subtle as I guess is to be expected after 40 years of habit but now I notice myself doing or saying something different – I ask myself what do I want and then try to get a balance against the other person’s needs.

Personal e-mail April 2005

Just a little note to say thank you for helping me juggle things about and re-arrange them in a more appropriate manner – think that best describes it anyway.

Personal letter March 2006

I went to see this therapist (Stephen While) who specializes in Curative Hypnotherapy in Nottingham. I’ve been a cutter for some time and I worked with this guy to find the real reasons I do it. The urges (to cut) are no longer severe and sometimes things that would trigger me don’t trigger me anymore. I can get upset and yet not even contemplate cutting.

I still have the arthritis but I am 100% improved since my last visit. I still marvel at the feeling of freedom I have. I can see now how I reacted when people complained as we all do, but I would feel responsible for their unhappiness. No wonder I came to develop this condition. I can now cope with people’s moods; I just let it wash over me. Thank you so much for getting to the bottom of my subconscious problem.

I feel so much better after my treatment; curative hypnotherapy has certainly turned things around for me. Thanks again and I will tell others of how effective therapy was.

You will be pleased to know that there have been no recurrences of her behavioural difficulties.

You have given me the greatest Christmas present of all – my daughter back, clearly something big has shifted and the sick phobia is collapsing.

It is one year now since you cured me of my addiction to the dreaded weed! I feel great, we walk miles now and I can swim again without choking.

Well here is the tangible proof of your excellent work (fear of flying), flight was no trouble at all, but then you already knew that… many thanks.

You may remember you saw my daughter earlier this year (terrible fear of hospitals) – (2 hospital operations followed) there were no troubles at all, no panic, stress or anxiety.
 

Personal letter June 2003

I have been treated by Stephen While for my OCD and fear of needles. I feel absolutely a different person and am finally happy to be alive, every day is a celebration and its all down to curative hypnotherapy.

E-mail to AQCH January 2003

Dear Stephen, Thank you for all your professional support (treatment of needle phobia).

Flight over, no problems, a big thanks for helping me get through this (fear of flying) and I am not dreading the flight back.

As you can see, thanks to you, we are here. Everything on the day went like a dream (holiday anxiety).
