Why do I do Hypnotherapy

Many years back during a time of illness I had the most amazing experience. I was seeing a doctor - Matt Tizard - in Auckland NZ, who specialised in finding out what was wrong with people when no one else was able to. He used a system that utilised energy meridians and homoeopathy. Initially it was weird stuff.

I worked with Matts system for many months and it worked. However one day during a 'healing crisis' of considerable magnitude,  I made an appointment with Matt to try to sort myself out. It was the end of the day and at the time Matt was seeing 50 or so people a day. He was very tired.

He looked at me and asked me a question, as I answered he tapped one of my knees. Another question - tapped the other knee and so on. - Later I was to realise that this is an NLP technique. After a while he applied pressure to both me knees at once and held the pressure for a few minutes, at which point I drifted into a kind of dreamy state, known as trance. As I drifted away he gently said, "and I wonder how you are continuing to resolve the imbalance you walked in with in such way.... " and then I woke up.

This experience, which took less than 20 minutes, changed my life and changed my mental, emotional and physical state from that point on.

I had to know what he had just done, and so, just before he fell asleep in the chair - it was 6.30 pm - he gave me the name of the man who would become my hypnosis trainer.

2 months later I booked into my Clinical Hypnotherapy training where I learned tools that were so fascinating and powerful that life turn 180 degrees for me.

This is why I 'do' hypnotherapy, and this is why I suggest that you try it too.
