At the end of June I ran a contest for my birthday, and one winner was chosen by random number generator online. The winner had 6 sessions 2x a week and here is the conclusion:

The focus was on a phobia the client had since childhood and it was negatively affecting their life, not daily but at least monthly. We did some techniques to release blocks and obstacles and some childhood regression and childhood connection sessions. 

We had a couple times that our sessions had to be rescheduled,and a recording was given in its place. Some homework was given as well. 

My client did notice some emotional responses, and some successes. They were able to have a chance to test out the phobia, and were able to carry it through. This is not a cure all, but a good start. 

This is the client’s response: 

“I told Pam I wanted to work on my claustrophobia during my sessions. We did them at night, which I really liked because they are so relaxing and aid in a good night’s sleep. 

The following day after a session,  I would wake up with energy – something I don’t normally do. As time went on, I would notice that I did not fear tackling things I would normally shy away from. I had a real sense of confidence and calm. 

I also was able to pinpoint exactly what my fear is…..being in a situation, relationship or job I do not feel I can escape easily. Is it a control issue?… I’m not sure. But I do feel more confident and maybe that’s the first step to healing.” – Suzanne P. (7/21 contest winner)

In conclusion; I agree, confidence is very helpful in healing. The client also told me they did not listen to the recorded sessions. I do think this would have helped with the focus for the sessions. This shows while it’s great to listen to guided meditations or recordings, actual contact with a person is much more helpful. If  nothing else, at least for accountability. We are much more likely to do something that we have planned with another.  I am so happy for the success, and realizations. I do feel this was something deeply rooted and with more sessions we would have more success for the phobia itself. Overall, I’m pleased with the outcome and was glad to be a facilitator towards finding more confidence within themselves.

So what do you all think? I Love offering Hypnotherapy to those that may not be otherwise able to have it, or may not reach out, but with a contest are more likely to try it. This was my first contest of it’s kind. One thing I think when I do another, that I may not just have it open to anything the winner would like to work on, but to have a more general, overall confidence, self love or stress reducing/relaxing sessions. This way the client/winner isn’t left hanging, so to speak if the amount of sessions wasn’t enough for the issue.
