hypnotherapy success stories

Stopping Smoking

I had tried to give up smoking many times in the past and had been successful for short periods. What I had always struggled with, however, was starting again in times of stress or upset. A friend suggested that I try hypnosis and recommended Bridgette Mansfield. Right from the start of my session I was made to feel welcome and was taken into a comfortable room. I was able to explain to Bridgette the reasons why I wanted to stop smoking and the triggers that had always caused me to start again. Bridgette told me exactly what hypnosis was and what would occur during the session and I was put into a deeply relaxed state. I was well aware of everything that was going on, and did not feel frightened or anxious at any time. Eighteen months on I am still a non smoker and am confident that I will never smoke again. I have been through some extremely stressful times in the last few weeks and have not been tempted to smoke. The difference between how I feel about smoking now, is that the part of me that doesn’t want to smoke is so much stronger than any fleeting temptation I may have, and it is easy to control the very rare thoughts that pop into my head.

I thoroughly recommend Bridgette's hypnotherapy and have in fact recommended friends who have also successfully stopped smoking. My advice to anyone that is considering stopping is that hypnosis definitely does work but you have to really want to stop as it is not a quick fix on its own. I made my money back within only a few weeks so in addition to feeling much better, I am much richer too!

I just wanted to thank you for your tremendous help through hypnotherapy. Over the years I have tried many different diets all to no avail and I could not figure out why I continued to succumb to over eating or snacking when unnecessary. I felt like my mind was working against itself. I had undergone hypnosis before, but it was ineffective because it did not deal with the reason my eating habits and behaviors were occurring.

Through hypnotherapy, I was able to discover the exact reason why I developed my own particular eating habits and I was able to understand how it was functional for its own distorted purpose. I literally listened to the words coming out of my mouth, from my subconscious mind, which, to me, was amazing. The techniques you used were completely on point and your suggestions were expertly attuned to leading me to this realisation.

Since I began hypnotherapy with you, I have lost weight automatically. I am sticking to healthier foods and increased motivation to exercise. I now get a lot of compliments from friends and family about how good I look – which I love!. Most importantly, I have been able to truly see that I control my mind and my body and the power of the mind really effects the body directly.

Finally, the process of hypnotherapy has helped me to understand myself and the way the mind works. I appreciate all that you've done for me and will recommend you to others over and over.

"Having met Bridgette at a meeting and feeling she was someone I could trust, I decided to tackle my lifelong problem with eating. I asked Bridgette if she could help and she said she would. Over the ensuing couple of months I went for a weekly session and found each one deeply relaxing. Whatever she did it worked and I have been losing weight effortlessly. During an extremely stressful time recently when I would normally turn to food I can honestly say the thought didn’t enter my head. Without trying I am enjoying the process of transformation and feeling so much more positive about myself. I highly recommend Bridgette if you have a similar problem. It works!"

Congratulations to the wonderful Bridgette Mansfield (www.123relax.co.uk). In one session of hypnotherapy she has cured my 10 year old daughter of car sickness. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! We did a 3 hour straight car journey to Eastbourne

Hi Bridgette

Hope you are well. Just thought I would email you to let you know how I am getting on. I finished college last month and am feeling so much better then I did 6 months ago. I feel so much more positive and hopeful about the future. Walking around is not really a problem either now and I have been doing it more and more. Thank you so much for your help and if I ever get stuck with anything again I will definitely be coming back to you.

Thanks so much

Fear of flying

Not only did I want to let you know about the flying session, but I weighed myself this morning and I have lost exactly 1 stone now. I am so chuffed! It's been 2 and half months since we started the sessions and I plateued for a while, but a couple of pounds seemed to have now dropped off quickly. Not bad considering that I do not feel as though I've been dieting and I've just come back from holiday. In addition, the plane journey this year was the most relaxed one I've had in years. I was able to read my book, watch the movie, and I even managed to look out of the window which I always avoid doing. I was expecially pleased as I did not cry during the journey. Even when we were told 1 hour into the return journey that there was a problem with the engine and we had to turn back, there was never the panic and tension that I'd experienced before. We can now contemplate on doing longer haul flights - the only issue this time is being stuck in a plane with 3 kids for a longer period of time :-)

Thanks for all you help and I will contact you shortly to arrange a weight loss "booster" session.

Best Wishes

Hi Bridgette,

I'm so sorry I haven't been in touch but life has been ridiculously nuts!

I have wanted to tell you that you have totally turned my little life around!! I got out to Turkey and back from Turkey without a hitch. My mindset has been so altered, whereas before I was so terrified of flying, now it's really bearable. I won't go so far as to say it was enjoyable…but it will not ever hamper my holiday plans or arrangements ever again… Woooooooo Hoooo!!

Just an example of how improved I am… I've never left my seat on a plane as I'm too scared to leave it, but I happily had a little wander to the toilet and back again!

Bridgette, you are truly wonderful and have helped me so much.
I look forward to seeing you again soon…hopefully you can work your magic on my other areas of nuttiness!!

Thanks again,

Warmest regards

Very happy to report the hypnotherapy worked really well ! I was so relaxed that morning and no nerves what so ever in the airport. The take off and flight going was perfect, I had a few nerves but nothing like normal.

We really had a great time and I never once thought about flying home.
Thank you so much for your help ( my hubby is very thankful too! )

Nail Biting

Thought you may like to know that I haven't bitten my nails since I saw you and have been conscious of when they have got near my mouth! One of my nails broke yesterday - amazing how much they grow in 2 weeks! Thank you very much.

Phobias

Dear Bridgette

I would like to thank you by way of a testimonial for the work you have done with me regarding my insect phobia and getting my mindset just right for an incredible journey and adventure I went on last year. Without you having done the work you did I would not have been able to enjoy it as wholly as I so did!

When I came to discuss my issues/phobias with you I felt at ease even though at least one of them was clearly ridiculous! In just a few sessions you addressed these issues and totally changed the way I feel about most insects and creepy crawlies. It is now me that picks them up and carries them outside happily waving them in my husbands face!

The other issue we addressed was a more difficult one. I was travelling to Africa to carry out some charity work and was a little nervous of what I might feel. Bridgette ensured that I was in the right frame of mind to deal with the various concerns as they arose. I remember one of my main worries was how I would be able to leave the country I was going to knowing there was still more work to be done. I have to say of all the people in the group I was the most upbeat at this stage and was able to convince them that we truly had made a difference – things that would not have been achieved had we not been there.

Bridgette, I think the work you do is underrated and although you are planting the seeds and people clearly have to nurture those thoughts and ideas, what you do is of huge benefit. Thus I highly recommend you to anyone wishing to change something about themselves be it physical or more importantly emotional, you truly can help us become better people.

Best wishes for a prosperous 2011,

Yours Faithfully,

Weight loss

Wow! Bridgette has changed my life and my waistline! My hypnotherapy sessions with her were a joy. Doing something so fantastic for myself was brilliant. It's like having a massage from the inside out. My clothes are loose and I really feel I have a bright and slim future. I can't thank her enough and recommend her to everyone looking to improve their life.

Public Speaking

Standing up in front of 20 or more people once a month to give only a little speech/presentation, was the dread of my life, starting with the fear and forboding feelings, the pounding heart, fluffing my words with the usual wobble to my voice, and the shaking that not only gave the game away, but made it very difficult to hold and read my notes, and which even continued after it was all over whilst I tried to put a fork to my mouth to eat the meal provided which I felt too nervous to enjoy.

Even after one session with Bridgette, I stood up at the next meeting a different person, more confident, less shaking and even making jokes. It has been so much easier since that day. Hypnotherapy can do amazing things!
