- Here's what people have had to say about hypnotherapy
N.H.
Having watched my partner beat his smoking habit following hypnotherapy
and counseling sessions with Dr Julie Kidd, I decided (with some scepticism)
to ask for her help with weight loss.
For about 45 years I had had a "love hate" relationship with
food. In my twenties I had worked as a model and since then I have been
obsessive with eating. I seemed to spend my life trying diets, gyms,
acupuncture and yes even some other hypnotherapy. I was forever feeling
guilty. I was for ever losing weight and putting on weight but even
when I was at my thinnest I was unhappy. It was probably fortunate that
I did like food, as I would probably have become anorexic. As I got
older I became larger and more miserable and a day didn't go bye when
I wasn't thinking of how I could remedy my situation.
It is now a little over four months since my first visit to Dr Kidd.
I can hardly believe that this is me! I cannot, in my adult life, remember
feeling so content in my body.
I have dropped several dress sizes and I believe I am still losing weight
but the most remarkable thing is that it has not been difficult. I do
not feel as if I am on a diet. I do not feel deprived and I feel healthier
and emotionally more stable than I have felt for years. Most importantly
though, I feel content at whatever weight I am. I am not paranoid if
I jump on the scales and find I have gained a little as I am confident
that without effort it will go again. I AM IN CONTROL. I have enjoyed
the sessions with Dr Kidd and I love listening to her CD as it gives
me a tremendous feeling of well being (my quick fix!). I am not drinking
any alcohol and I feel as if my body is saying a big "THANK YOU".
I don't miss it at all... even when those around me are drinking. One
day I will drink again but it will be very moderately, for now I don't
need it. I still enjoy food but I need less and eat less. And last,
but not least, I feel great when everyone tells me how good I am looking.
I know they are right!
Thank you Julie!

At 51 years of age, I had practiced junk food addiction for almost 40
years. Totally incapable of controlling any craving for junk food, which
would hit suddenly and powerfully. This addiction dominated my life
completely, so that by the time I sought treatment with Dr Kidd, I was
unemployed, unemployable, suicidal and uncomfortably obese.
And then "The Miracle". After completing my first hypnotherapy
session, I was healed of my addiction. No more cravings. A totally neutral
attitude to the junk food on which I had been so dependent.
This therapy totally released me from a lifetime addiction. And my gratitude
for this healing is immeasurable.

I was terribly depressed and not coping at all well
my weight
had spiralled out of control and I really needed help.
I had 4 weeks treatment with Dr Kidd and although I still have a long
way to go with my weight I found that hypnotherapy helped me to take
control of my life, and therefore helped me to lose weight as well.
I lost 8 kg in 5 weeks. Hypnotherapy gives you all the tools to change
your life but you are ultimately in control.

Before I started hypnotherapy I was having very sad dreams almost every
night to the point of feeling sad all day. After the 1st session the
sadness went, still dreaming, but now I have had 4 sessions, the sad
and bad dreams have completely gone. I thoroughly recommend hypnotherapy.

I would like to thank you for your help. When I came to you, I was a
stressed-out nervous wreck, pretty much unable to decide what direction
to take, if any. What a difference it made, not only the hypnosis but
the techniques you taught me to use as an ongoing process to keep me
centred, thank you. I hope that I can now go on, but am also aware that
if I feel I need a "top-up", I know where to get it.
p.s. An amazing by-product of my de-stressing was that my blood pressure
stabilized.

Thanks to Dr Kidd's help via several hypnotherapy and counselling sessions,
I was able to end a habit of emotional over-eating that had severely
affected my health for a period of 18 years. The results were quick
and painless and this was the first weight-loss approach to actually
work, and I've tried every approach there is. My gratitude to Dr Kidd
is far-reaching.

I am 53 years old and life has dealt me a great many knocks. An early
bad marriage, sole-parenting, building a career in marketing and then
being side-lined for younger people. Despite my financial situation,
I began to hide my feelings in a couple of litres (or more) of wine
a day. My health began to fade, I couldn't face people, those who loved
me were very anxious but I didn't care, it would be so much easier to
be dead because life wasn't interesting anyway. I went on for years
like this, before, desperate, I met Dr Kidd at a social function and
begged for help. After our first session I walked down Macquarie St
feeling kgs lighter, I knew my back was straighter, the sky looked brighter.
My confidence was coming back. I HAD NO DESIRE TO POUR A GLASS OF WINE-DIDN'T
WANT ANY ALCOHOL .
Within days, people were complimenting me on the change of my looks,
the way I spoke. After our 3rd session, I stopped to check my lotto
numbers. $128.30 richer, I got to my front door to find a beautiful
bunch of fresh flowers waiting for me-a prize in a competition I entered
before Christmas. Since that first session I haven't had a drink alone.
I really have no interest in alcohol, but I feel great without it. Spoke
at my favourite uncle's funeral last week and didn't make a hash of
it. Family and old friends are awed with the difference in me. Neighbours
don't hurry past, they stop to chat. Every day is terrific.
