Will my patients learn self-hypnosis?

Most definitely. In fact, Paul strongly believes that knowledge is power and has all of his clients learn and perform self-hypnosis prior to every session. When clients own the process their chance of success is greatly enhanced.

Will my patients receive a reinforcement tape? 

Paul's clients receive CD's which are more durable than cassette tapes and can also be uploaded into iPods which is a popular option for most of our clients.

What are your success rates?

A satisfaction survey is sent out 6 months after sessions, 85% of IBS clients are symptom free, 75% of smokers are smoke-free and 65% of obese clients have maintained their goals. Those open to the process, genuinely motivated and also committed to home reinforcement consistently do well. Video >>
