Testimonials - Learn to Relax - feedback from people who have Learned to Relax with Alan Gilchrist using Fast Track Hypnosis

"I have had a fantastic summer,my confidence in myself has been steadily growing. I can't express the calm I feel now compared with the eternal stress I was in before I came to see you!"

"Dear Alan,
We can't thank you enough. For thirteen months C...... has been through so much. Having different tests done - attending hospitals every few weeks. During this time she was losing confidence in herself and because she had to wear a splint on her hand she didn't like going out of the house. At 12 years of age this was having a terrible effect on her. C. was only one year old when she had her thumb removed, and up until now her hand was functioning well. For no explainable reason it stopped, until she went to see you. With just ten minutes into the second session her hand was working perfectly. It is unbelievable. We have been on a "HIGH" ever since. It's great to have her back to herself again.
Thank you."

"Dear Alan,
I attended your office at the end of July for your stress relief therapy. I had already been through 4 cycles of IVF treatment and was about to go for my fifth try, so I wanted to make it as stress free as possible. I listened to your CD every night for the month before the treatment and although I did fall asleep ever night before the end of it I am happy to report that I have just had a positive pregnancy test. I want to thank you sincerely for your help as I do believe that stress plays a large part in the outcome of this treatment.
Thanking you"
Rhonda

Dear Alan,
I just want to thank you for all the support and help you gave me whilst I was going through a very bad patch with my trigeminal neuralgia. It was such a comfort to know that I had you to help ease the pain over those few weeks. I'm pleased to say that I am feeling and looking a lot better now, as always your CD's worked a treat."

"Dear Alan,
as you know I came to see you the first time, more at the insistence of my wife than with any real hope of finding a let-up in the depression and nervous tension headaches which had plagued me for some time. Painkillers, anti depressants - I tried the lot. I was even admitted to hospital for treatment with no lasting benefits. Yet here I am - unbelievably (and to my wife's relief) a changed man, needless to say a very happy one. Thanks for your treatment and CD's - I only wish that I had tried Hypnosis years ago, how different our lives would have been.
I am eternally grateful.

"Dear Alan,
This is an update as promised, which I know is probably destined for your waiting room...so I will tell your clients my story, which will hopefully help them. I began to suffer palpitations, nausea, dizziness and headaches. I also began to have panic attacks, which were prompted by a feeling of what Alan refers to as "impending doom" before entering certain situations. I thought I was going mad. I did not know it at the time, but I was under immense pressure: I was in my final year at university, I had noisy neighbours and had suffered bereavement. My symptoms began to prevent me from doing everyday thing, such as attending lectures. I did not suffer from claustrophobia, but I felt that if I entered a class I would need to escape. This feeling spread to other situations. and also affected my working and social life. I tried everything. I visited my doctor and a counsellor, who were both understanding, but could not help me with my immediate situation.

Soon after, I thought of hypnotherapy. I found Alan's advertisement in the Yellow Pages and when I spoke to him, he told me I had a fear of losing control. Now after five sessions and following all of Alan's instructions, I feel much better. I have been to move on with my life without feeling the same intensity of fear. I sat an exam last week, and am now looking into classes in order to understand stress and how to cope with it. Sitting an exam and attending class would have been unthinkable as little as two months ago. So thank you Alan, for giving me back the courage to take control of my life. To the person who is reading this now, just remember all is not lost. With Alan's help you can do it!. And Alan- " I hope I never see you again"!!"
Best wishes,
Martina.

"Dear Alan,
thank you for all your help in helping me find my misplaced necklace. As you know it was of considerable value not to mention the sentimental value. I could not have achieved this without your help."
Yours Gratefully,
Patricia

"Dear Alan,
A week has passed since I had my last session and I'd like you to know that for the first time in about two years I feel excited about how I'm going to spend the rest of my life. After feeling depressed, exhausted and even suicidal, I couldn't cope with my job, my children or my husband. Our relationship deteriorated very badly, it nearly split us up. My doctor was treating me for post natal depression and I'd been taking anti-depressants for eighteen months. But I still felt as if I'd been let down and very lonely.

Then one day my husband suggested that I make an appointment with you. I knew nothing about hypnosis and I was wary. But he made the appointment and I came along to see you feeling very desperate and scared. You were extremely understanding and put me at ease. You said that by the end of the session I would be smiling again. I was smiling and you made me realise that I didn't have post natal depression, but that I couldn't let go of my mother who had died just four months before my second son was born. You helped me to say good bye to her and you also taught me to be confident, self assured and how to relax. I know now that I have to stand on my own two feet and not to depend on other people as I had done with my dearly loved mother. I am now ready to enjoy my life with the people I love and who are alive. My children need me to be strong and that's what I am.

I will never be able to thank you enough for what you helped me to achieve. My mother would be proud. I dearly hope that this letter may help others who are in similar situations and help them not to be afraid, that they will learn to trust and allow themselves to be helped. I'll say good bye now and keep up the good work."
Yours Faithfully,
Alva

"Dear Alan,
just a short note to say thank you very much for all your help. When I first visited you I thought I was beyond help. My thoughts were so negative and I had lost interest in everything around me. Well I must tell you that after my first session I definitely noticed an improvement. After my next few sessions the change in my anxiety state was really amazing. My thoughts are now more positive . I am more confident and totally relaxed. I can honestly say that I have made a full recovery and back to my old self again, which is great. Hypnotherapy really worked for me."
Many thanks again,
Sylvia

"Dear Alan,
Sorry it took so long to write, and thank you very much for what you have done for me. It was this time last year I came to you with severe headaches, sore shoulders and no energy. I had been diagnosed as having M.E by 5 qualified doctors I may say, which I paid a fortune for advise and got no where! We were expecting our second child at the time, I was 3 months, we had a healthy baby girl so we have one of each now. I can enjoy them better, that's down to your treatment. At the time I was sceptical at the start, but as time went on my health continued to improve. I knew you had helped me." Thank you
Eileen

"Dear Sir,
this time last year my wife was heading for a breakdown. Her mother had a slight stroke and as a result had to come and live with us. My wife's sleep pattern became disrupted, she was losing weight through lack of eating, etc. In general her health took a serious turn for the worse. Nothing the doctors could offer (and that was very little) seemed to work. I was at my wits end. A colleague at work mentioned Hypnosis. To be honest I was at the stage where I would try anything, and after a search for a local clinic came up with you. This for all of us was a turning point. I can well remember our first visit - we didn't know what to expect but you soon put us at our ease and started the treatment. After the second visit we could see the changes for the better, and after the third my wife found no need for further visits. It may be a year ago but I can assure you that I think of you excellent work every day and tell people about it regularly. Without your help I don't know where we would have been today. My wife is back to full health and strength, and is able to cope with her mother who is still with us. Sincere thanks from both of us, and best wishes for all you do in the future.
Yours in gratitude,
Mervyn and Lesley C."

"Dear Alan,
this is just a note to say thank you for helping me with my jealousy! Lord knows that I was in an extremely depressed state. I was falling out with loved ones and friends alike. I broke up with my girlfriend because I could not handle my problem. I am not writing this letter to gain sympathy, I am writing it to let everyone know that I am a changed man- and it is all thanks to you Alan. I thought that I was beyond help and that I was going to be a lonely old man, then I decided to try Hypnosis and that all changed. A man once told me" If you do not make a mistake - you make nothing" This is the truth- the mistake that I made was not trying hypnosis at the beginning. I am now back with my girlfriend and everything is great. To anyone reading the letter- you don't lack strength, you lack will! Alan can give you the will to overcome your problems that you have, and I am a prime example of this. And to you Alan- words can not express what you have done for me.
Forever in your debt,
Alan"

"Dear Alan,
Y. is off to America and I hope to a new life. This time last year H.... and I were desperate and not to feel any better for months to come. However we have made it through to now and the wonderful miracle of seeing Y. recovered, and better than we've ever known or could have hoped for. The last eight years have been a living hell for us. We wish you to know that we will be ever grateful to you for the time and skill you gave her. You helped her find herself and know how to cope with so many worries, above all you gave her the will to live and strength from within that no Doctor could or even tried to give her. Fifteen weeks in hospital and she came out no better- on huge amounts of tablets and after a few weeks with you she was off all the strong medicine and by the end with you the improvement was wonderful. From the moment your receptionist answered the phone to us she gave up hope for we had just left the hospital after being told she was a "hopeless case" . We thank you deeply Alan and Mary and wish you everything that is good in life.
Yours Sincerely
R. and H."

"Dear Alan,
I came to see if you could help me because I had suffered miscarriages and then 4 failed IVF treatments. I was very anxious and had a negative outlook. Thank you for your help getting me to change my negative thinking to positive thinking. As a result of this I have received a positive result on my fifth IVF attempt. Positive thinking promotes health and well being and I believe Hypnosis helped me to have a more positive outlook, and achieve success on this attempt.
I am still listening to the Cds which keep me calm and reinforce positive thinking to help my success continue. We are very grateful for your help Alan.
Thank you- much appreciated.
A."
