Positive Changes Hypnosis

I was a drinker for several years!!!! I decided to come into the center with NO intention of signing up!!!! I was scared to give up my friend, and my relaxation partner!!! I was introduced to the Evaluator "Tyresa" I was, to say the least skeptical of this whole thing, she made me feel instantly cared about and VERY IMPORTANTLY as if I was the ONLY thing that mattered to HER at that moment!! My guard came down and I began to LISTEN, she said things to me I had NEVER realized, and I began to open up to her about things I did NOT realize was really going on!!! I was OUT of CONTROL!!!! She mentioned to me that she'd ONLY offer me a program if SHE thought SHE could REALLY get ME the results I was looking for!!! WOW that was a little concerning... What if????? AS we continued with the Evaluation I began to not only TRUST HER but LOVE the idea OF HYPNOSIS> I DID do the PROGRAM. This is a 9 week program. I have had a LIFE change. I LOVE ME AGAIN!!!! NO withdraws EVER> I never even craved th... Read more

I had almost given up on losing weight, until I heard about Positve Changes from a friend who lost 20 pounds in 4 months, and kept it off almost a year. She said it was over $1500 for her program, which is alot of money for me since Iam retired. The centr set up customized plans for all there clients, so the cost can be more or less.

I lost 22 pounds and 2 belt loops. I have struggled with this weight for 16 years. For the last 3 years the extra weight has made activity I enjoy a struggle. I have tried other methods. Surprisingly I lost weight yet when I got back to normal eating I regained the weight every time. In the past I had some experience of using tapes and it did help. Then I saw the Dateline program on TV. I was amazed that a pastry chef in the midst of all that food could control his eating and was able to lose a lot of weight with little effort. It took me about 4 months to make the phone call for the free screening. After my first session I noticed a sense of ease at my very busy and stressful job. That very night I felt better than I have in a long time. Right afterward I went to El Paso to be with my mother who had surgery. Even there I lost 8-9 pounds! I took the processes with me. This is the easiest I have ever lost weight before. Half-way through the second week I noticed that I had m... Read more

I struggled with my weight since high school. My weight really went up after I had my children. I felt very out of control. I would lose the weight and like the results, and then the weight would come back. Why couldn?t I make a change that was going to be permanent? I felt like a failure. I thought that it was never going to make a difference. I feel much more in control. I wake up in the morning and know what I am going to eat and I am not denied anything. I know that I control the food, it doesn?t control me. I have no more anxiety. I take a deep breath and relax and know that I make the choices in my life. I learned of PCH through the newspaper. I carried the ad around for 2 months before I called. I was really frustrated when I decided to sign up for the program. Hypnosis looked really interesting. I noticed changes in my behavior with in the first two weeks. The first change was definitely less stress. I actually want water and I love salads. I don?t have cravings and I don?t w... Read more

I have been a non-smoker since May 2005. Health improvements I?ve noticed, aside from being a non-smoker, include coughing less, breathing easier, and generally feeling better. I also sleep better. I had issues with my blood-pressure before and now I am completely off of my medication. I was smoking about a pack and a half a day before I came to Positive Changes. This was a habit for twenty-eight years. I saw the ad in the newspaper. Honestly, hypnosis wasn?t as easy as I thought it would be. It was mainly difficult because I can be pretty hard-headed and I didn?t want to give smoking up. It actually took some tough-love for it to really register. But it worked! Tough-love is what worked for me! As far as a visible change in my behavior, I just mentally could not give up smoking after the first session. I had to work myself into that part of it. If I wasn?t in a place where I could light up a cigarette I could feel myself ?freak out?, I would need to get away so I could. I feel very mu... Read more

I was skeptical about hypnosis. I still don?t quite understand what it is. I think that if you ask me to define what it is now, after going through this program, I would say that it is a method to get inside parts of your head that you don?t normally use? to focus on improving yourself. That?s Positive Changes Hypnosis. I?m sure hypnosis can be used for other things, but its just what cracked my shell. What kept me from doing this, it helped eliminate whatever that was. I didn?t have a whole lot of weight to lose. But being a fashion designer, I wasn?t fitting into some of my own favorite designs. Since I have done this program, I have lost probably about 20 inches overall. And 1 dress size. The good thing is that now I know it?s permanent because I?ve learned what to do, and I?m easily doing it. My attitude is better, I have better concentration, I?m happier knowing that I?m taking better care of myself. Physically, I have more energy, and my digestion is regular for the fir... Read more

In 7 months I lost 31 pounds, 2 clothing sizes and 3 bra sizes. I have struggled with weight for 20 years. I started gaining weight after having children. I felt horrible and could not control my eating. My changes happened right away. My sister and I came for our consultation the day before Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving we did not eat as much as we usually did. And we didn?t even cook pies, cookies and cakes like we usually did. After the meal the kids wondered where the dessert was. We hadn?t even thought of having dessert! And I haven?t had one Coke since then. I started drinking water. I have stopped thinking about fattening foods like pizza. I have forgotten about vending machines at work, I don?t even know what?s in them. I go with my sister to the weight room and walk on the treadmill and do some weight machines. I used to wear gloves to bed because of the arthritis in my hands; now my hands don?t hurt so much and I don?t wear gloves. I don?t snap and get angry at my kids or ... Read more

I?d struggled with my weight for the last fourteen years. It was miserable because I had low self esteem and no self confidence. Regardless of how much weight I lost I always felt like I was fat. I?ve tried to lose weight with every diet known to man. My mother was a diet fanatic and I grew up in the world of dieting. I felt out of control before and it was stressful and depressing. For most of my life, when I came home from school my mom had a snack waiting for me. As I grew up, the behavior continued. When I got home from work, even if it was ten o?clock at night; I always raided the refrigerator. My parents used hypnosis to quit smoking and haven?t had a cigarette in a year. My evaluator me know that I had control over what happened and I wasn?t just going to come in and get zapped. I?ve tried other things to lose weight, so I figured I could try this too. I started to notice changes in my behaviors pretty quickly. I don?t feel like I?ve really had to do anything. The old habits... Read more

I was reared by a family who ate for comfort and for celebration so we ate all the time! I had been uncomfortable with my weight for 5-6 years. I felt stuffed, short of breath and hated to buy new clothes as nothing looked like I wanted it to. This plan is the best, offering me the most positive changes in my attitudes and my habits. I have tried different approaches to weight loss and can always lose weight but it always comes back. Twenty years ago I had learned that hypnosis was a legitimate method for change. So when I saw the ad in the Austin American Statesman, I phoned for a free screening. After the first session I experienced immediate changes. I quit snacking between meals, cut down on portions and made better choices. Weight loss has been easy and I don?t ever feel hungry. I have learned the difference between eating enough and eating all that I want. What I used to consider ?full? was really ?overfull?. Now I feel the difference. I have a lot more energy and acid ...

I am excited! I have struggled with weight for 20-30 years. I have been a yo-yo dieter, gaining and losing weight several times. What attracted me to Positive Changes is that I could learn to keep it off permanently. I kept seeing the Positive Changes feature in the newspaper for several months. Finally I made the phone call. I had used hypnosis before and it worked then. So I knew it would work for me now. In the past I was out of control especially in stressful situations. I would put food in my mouth when I wasn?t hungry. That has stopped. I have always eaten lots of vegetables. However, overeating was a problem. Now my portions have decreased. After my first session I noticed changes immediately. Within a couple of days I began waking up thirsty for water. I stopped thinking about food all the time and my stress level decreased. I became calmer. In the first week my clothes already began to loosen. I did not feel like I was dieting and did not even feel deprived. G... Read more

I have some shirts that were real tight, but they fit better now, and all my shorts are very loose. I have struggled with my weight since I was in high school. It?s been up and down. I felt out of control before, like I couldn?t control it. I feel more in control now. I?d seen the ads for Positive Changes several times, and in fact I had called years ago and never came in, I figured it was too expensive. This time, it wasn?t a monetary expense ? I couldn?t afford NOT to come in. I need to just change my thoughts so I can create where I want to be tomorrow. I noticed a change in my behaviors almost immediately. I don?t feel like I?m deprived of anything. I do watch what I eat quite a bit, and I?m eating so many good things. My skin is healthy, my hair is shiny, I think all the other things come into play when you start feeling better on the inside. Everything seems to be working alright. Hypnosis has helped with the cravings, it?s helped with the overeating. But I do portion contr... Read more

I?ve lost 17 pounds and 1 clothing size since coming to Positive Changes. I?ve struggled with my weight since my first pregnancy. It?s tough, because your mindset is negative all the time. I?ve done just about all those diet fad things to try to lose weight. I usually ended up gaining it back, which is why I?m here. I saw Positive Changes in the newspaper, and I wanted to do it for weight loss. I read the testimonials in the newspaper and that prompted me to sign up. I noticed a change pretty quickly because I was really excited about doing it. I always drank a lot of water, but the processes really helped with cravings ? I wasn?t craving fast foods anymore. Overall I?ve lost about a pound a week since I started. More than anything, I?ve noticed that I have more energy, and I?m sleeping pretty good too. I?ve noticed that I?m not requiring as much sleep as I was before. I?m not a real snacker or a binger, but mainly I?m concentrating on eating the right foods rather than the j... Read more

I?ve see-sawed with my weight for the last 10 years and it was very frustrating. Positive Changes is really working for me, and it?s been very easy. I?ve always tried to watch what I ate, but my downfall was my love for sweets. My weight was gradually getting higher and higher and I decided that there had to be a stopping place. I saw an ad in the Austin-American Statesman and decided that I would call after the holidays. I thought hypnosis was going to be like what I?d seen on TV where they put you in a deep trance. I didn?t know what to expect. I decided that I wanted to try it and get to feeling better. When I went to my evaluation, I felt very calm and at ease. It really seemed like this was something that I wanted to pursue. I started to notice within the first week that I wasn?t craving anything. I found that I could look at cookies, cakes, and pies without having any interest in them. Plus, I?d always put off exercise before and this time it wasn?t an effort and I felt re... Read more

I am 83 years old and have been in chronic pain for 2 years. I would often be in so much pain that I would cry at home. I never went anywhere and I didn?t have the energy to clean the house. I couldn?t cook a meal either. My daughter saw the Positive Changes ad in the newspaper and she phoned and made an appointment for me. Then she called later and told me what she had done. I didn?t get mad at her. But I really didn?t think hypnosis would work. Nothing else had worked. I figured it would fail too. To my surprise it worked! I had pain in my back, my hip and my leg. I did the nine week program on pain management and all my pain is gone. I came regularly to my sessions and I don?t have any pain anymore. I had so much pain that I didn?t care about anything. I preach to everybody I see about my success. Hypnosis does work. I?m a believer now! I went to the doctors and they couldn?t do anything. Two doctors told me surgery would probably leave me paralyzed. I didn?t want tha... Read more

I?ve probably been overweight for thirty years. It was uncomfortable and I had very little energy and agility. I used to get home late and regardless of whether I?d had a good or bad day, my way of rewarding myself was to eat. There hasn?t been any significant change with any of the other methods that I?ve tried. My wife read about Positive Changes in the newspaper. I realized that this was a legitimate and proven method when I read through the letters and saw the stories in the lobby. I decided to try it because I?m getting older and I want to live healthy and extend my life for as long as I can. I started to see changes in my behavior after the first day when I noticed that I was eating less and wanted to exercise. I also noticed that I wanted fruit instead of candy. My wife and I used to drink about ten three-liter bottles of Pepsi every week, but after about ten days in the program, I quit drinking it altogether! My weight loss has been really easy. I feel more energetic ... Read more

I have lost 18 pounds and a couple of inches off my waist. In the past it was frustrating, losing the weight and putting it back on. I didn?t learn anything at other places like I have here. The biggest change was my attitude itself. I became a much more positive person. I always feel well rested and very positive every morning. Listening to my morning process gives me inspiration for the day ahead. In the first couple weeks I was already about 4 or 5 pounds down. This has been working really well. I am eating healthier and learning about portion control and different types of food. My doctor thinks that once I reach my goal I won?t have to take blood-pressure medication at all anymore. I have much more pep now and look forward to my exercise a lot more. I don?t try to find excuses. I have my breakfast, a protein shake, every morning, and I eat more balanced meals. My wife and I eat smarter now than before. I don?t snack between meals and I have become more conscious a... Read more

Five years ago I started to gain weight and gained three sizes. Finally I felt tired of the way I looked. At the end of this year I am retiring so I decided to lose weight and get into good physical health by then. Throughout the years I have tried every program in the book. None of them really worked. I would lose a few pounds, lose interest and then gain weight right back. I had seen the feature in the newspaper a few times when I phoned for a free screening. I thought about the program for a month. The hypnosis, nutrition and acceleration aspects of the program convinced me to sign on the dotted line. Changes happened within the first week. I lost my cravings for chocolate. I slowed down enough to catch up with who I am. I thought I knew a lot about nutrition. However, this program has deepened my knowledge. Hypnosis has taught me to relax, to breathe, and to take control of my food choices. People who are close to me have noticed my weight loss and some at work too. It i... Read more

I weighed 73 pounds when I came to Positive Changes. Getting over this eating disorder is the best thing that could happen to me. I have already recommended Positive Changes to friends and will continue to do so because I know it works.

I have been a non-smoker since 2005. I quit after the first session. I sleep better. I am more alert. I am not as moody or cranky. I am beginning to be able to taste food again and I am actually able to smell things again. My skin seems healthier. My teeth are getting whiter. I started working out again. It is a great thing. Plain and simple, smoking was just a nasty habit. I started smoking in 1975. I saw an ad in the Austin American Statesman. Someone had mentioned hypnosis as a method to quit smoking and I knew it had good results. I was getting desperate and I knew I had to do something. I had a good feeling about Positive Changes. I tried to quit cold turkey and I couldn?t last a day. The urge was so horrible. Now the thought goes out as quickly as it comes in. I like being a non-smoker, I feel in control now. People look at smokers like they are lepers. There is really nothing attractive about it. It?s great not having to worry about it now. The most importa... Read more

After 46 years of smoking I have been tobacco free since 2003. I quit after the first hypnosis session. When I left the Center, I did not light up a cigarette. I always smoked in the car and this time I drank plenty of water and did not smoke all the way home. When I got home I said, ?I think we should get rid of all these ash trays.? I don?t remember being a non-smoker because I?d been doing it for so long. I smoked a pack a day and only once in my life did I ever try to quit, and it didn?t work. I never tried to quit again until recently. I heard about Positive Changes through my sister who came for the weight loss program. I listened to one of her processes because I had been gaining weight. After listening to the processI stopped eating sugar completely. This gave me the idea that I could stop smoking just as easily. I phoned for the free screening, wrote the check and signed up for my program. I took the suggestions easily and my husband and I totally changed the way we w... Read more

I came to Positive Changes because I wanted to gain more self-confidence and have better sleep patterns. I now feel great about myself and find myself smiling all the time. All my friends and family have noticed how happy I am. I have more energy and fall asleep easily. I?ve tried solving my dilemma with self-help books. In situations where I needed to be calm, I would forget about everything I?d learned. I felt out of control, as if something it wasn?t me anymore. I started to notice changes in my behavior almost immediately after my first session; the whole day I felt really peaceful and happy. Hypnosis helped me to let things roll off my back and recognize that life doesn?t have to be hard as I thought it was. I feel that I can stay in control in any situation that comes up and handle things in a mature and confident way. I can communicate properly so that matters can be resolved easily. The improvement in my sleep has been phenomenal. It used to take me about three hours t... Read more

For two years I was anorexic. I had done everything I knew how to do to get over it. I weighed 73 pounds when I came to Positive Changes. Being anorexic was really hard. I didn?t want to go out because I looked really gross. I was stuck in a rut. I went to therapy, talked to Doctors, read books and went to Eating Disorders Anonymous meetings. I would have food right in front of me and would not eat. After awhile it was too much of a hassle to eat; so I would avoid eating meals. One day my Dad and I had a huge fight about my eating habits. I was really upset so I bought a newspaper and saw the ad for Positive Changes Hypnosis Center. It had gotten to the point that if I was not hospitalized, I would be dead soon. So I decided to phone and set up an appointment for the next day. The day after my first session I started drinking tons of water. In the past I had existed on diet sodas. Now I don?t even like diet sodas. I used to order only vegetables and a roll. I ordered the sa... Read more

I used hypnosis to stop biting my nails. I?ve had a problem with nail biting pretty well all my life. I was consistently biting my nails before and tried to stop by exercising self- control. Up to now, I had always failed after a few weeks. Hypnosis has helped to completely eliminate the urge to bite my nails. My family is very proud of the new situation and we all feel good about it. After the first couple of weeks, it got progressively easier and my wife and daughter commented favorably on my progress. I think that these results will be permanent. I feel that I have a higher self-esteem. As an overall process, I?m pleased with my results. It?s easier to be in meetings or social settings because I?m not uncomfortable about how my hands look. I?m not always trying to cover up my hands all the time. I was very self-conscious about that, so I?m happy that it no longer needs to be the case.

My success has been multi-level, but the most dramatic success for me has been turning off the negative talk in my mind. When I came to Positive Changes, I wanted to look in the mirror and stop thinking negative things about myself. After one or two sessions it was gone; turning that voice off has led to a deeper realization of myself in my life. I?ve tried other methods. I?d get better for a little while and then it would come back in periods of stress or when I didn?t feel good. I?m quite an achiever, and I?ve accomplished a lot in my life, but there was always this persistent nagging ?You?re not quite good enough, you?re not quite there? voice going on. I started to notice changes in my behavior almost immediately. I find that I recover from setbacks much more quickly and deal with stress better. I don?t punish myself about things. I?m able to say, ?I had a bad day and tomorrow it will be better? or even ?later this afternoon it will be better?. I?m also able to quit falling ... Read more

I came to Positive Changes to increase my memory and improve my study habits. I?ve struggled with homework and studying my whole life; I wanted it to be fun and it wasn?t. My grades and my enjoyment of school were negatively affected by my mindset. I could grasp material, but it was a chore that I had to make myself do. I?ve bought books about improving study skills. They offered suggestions, but reading the books just became another task that I had to do in addition to the studying that I was already putting off. I tried to apply the techniques, but they never worked for me. I saw the Positive Changes office and was intrigued. I was curious and realized that I had nothing to lose. I noticed the changes in my behavior immediately. I felt more relaxed about school and had less anxiety. It was easier to study, so I came to class feeling more prepared. This has been a simple and effortless process for me. It?s easy now; I just sit down without having to work at it. I?ve also n... Read more

My main purpose for using hypnosis was to learn to relax because I have a lot of stress in my life. I?ve learned a lot of things and reinforced some things that I had forgotten. That has been a real big help. I chose Positive Changes because we have a friend that came here and lost a tremendous amount of weight. He was so enthusiastic about it that we just had to try it. So far, the major success that I?ve had with this is that I have learned to relax and if I feel like I?m getting stressed, I go straight for my hypnosis tapes, put a tape on, and just relax to no end. I started to notice the changes in my behavior after about a week. The first time I noticed a difference in my behavior was when I was driving in the car with my husband and when he started to get upset about the traffic, I said, ?Now honey, just relax, it?s not worth getting upset over, it?ll be OK.? I?ve also given my daughter advice because she has problems with stress, I just tell her ?You?ve got to let it go and ... Read more

I?ve been able to find greater relaxation through the techniques I?ve learned at Positive Changes. I find it easier to fall asleep when I wake up during the night, which I had problems with in the past. I?ve also noticed that I?m more conscientious about my diet. My family has been pleased and noticed that I?m relaxed. I haven?t told a lot of people that I?ve been using hypnosis because some people don?t understand and think its hocus-pocus, but I know better. I?ve tried relieving stress in the past with sleeping, smoking, eating, and drinking, anything that was available. Sleeping worked, but it took a lot of time. Eating, drinking, and smoking worked, but weren?t very beneficial to my health. I know that now my stress relief will be permanent because I practice it every day at work, which is where my greatest stress comes from with deadlines and things like that. I tell my receptionist to hold my calls, and I shut my door, listen to my processes, and just sit back and relax. ... Read more

I have more patience and I?m more relaxed now. I like to just sit down and relax at home. I enjoy doing things that I used to really dislike. The more activity I have, the less stress I experience. I can get busy without having stress and that?s been a really big change for me. I tell people all about it because it?s fun. I tried before to make changes on my own. Friends and family tried to give me advice, but I was too impatient and wouldn?t listen to them. Positive Changes has really helped me reach my goals. I?m able to concentrate and focus my attention on one task. I?ve tried to make changes by talking to my husband and my Mom. I could not do it and wouldn?t listen. I tried to create hobbies to relax. I felt discomfort in my lower back because of all the stress I was putting myself through. I was always rushing around and on the go, but now I don?t know what I was running around for. I don?t have the headaches, the neck pain, or the lower back pain anymore. Now I c... Read more

I didn?t realize when I put the weight on with my pregnancies that I wasn?t going to take it off. I didn?t believe in exercise and thought that it wouldn?t do anything for me. When I went to the grocery store, there was always ice cream in the cart and I drank so much Pepsi that I couldn?t sleep well at night. I didn?t eat because I was hungry, I ate because it was there. I knew that I needed to stop, but I had no control. I learned about Positive Changes through the Austin-American Statesman. I decided that enough was enough and this had to work for me. I knew that nothing else had helped me to lose the weight, so I thought I should give it a try. I knew that if I could control my diet, I could get off the insulin as well. I started to notice changes in my behaviors right away. It amazed me because I had one session and I was off the Pepsi for good. When I stopped the Pepsi, I also stopped the snacking. My weight loss has been easy. It?s easier for me to know when I?ve eate... Read more

I have lost 21 pounds and 1 clothing size. I have been overweight for over 20 years. I would loose 50 pounds and gain 80. It?s been quite a battle. I would go on fad diets and take diet pills. They just don?t work. I was still doing those bad eating habits and not getting the exercise that I needed so it came right back on. I saw a friend at church that I hadn?t seen over the summer and she looked incredible. I noticed a very happy calm about her. I asked what she was doing and she shared it with me. My behaviors changed immediately after my first session. I used to love ice cream but I didn?t want it. I wanted fresh vegetables and lean proteins. My weight loss has been very easy. Fresh vegetables taste so good to me. I have always had symptoms of IBS and I am not having those symptoms at all. I also am not having PMS symptoms; I feel much better. My family and people at church tell me that my face looks thinner and that I look happy. A lot of people want to know wha... Read more

I have lost 17 pounds and 2 clothing sizes. For most of my life I have done yo-yo dieting. I have tried diets and lost weight but I made no life-style changes and never exercised; so I put the weight back on. I used to feel uncomfortable. I found it hard to climb stairs or sit in an airplane or any tight seat. When I saw the ad in the Austin American Statesman I was at a low point in my life. I had lost my job and was not feeling good about myself. I needed to do something that would make me feel better. Before the free screening I was skeptical about hypnosis; however, the first session showed me how relaxing it was. After 2 sessions I felt more relaxed so I began eating more slowly and enjoying my food. I learned to choose healthy foods and cut down portions. Weight loss came easy for me as I worked on particular issues during hypnosis sessions while the nutrition classes gave me good information on foods and supplements. I am now exercising and make it a priority and a reg... Read more

I read about Positive Changes in the Austin-American Statesman and I decided to call because it looked like it might be easy. I was interested in something that didn?t have to do with a liquid diet or something unusual. I wanted to do something that was natural. I started to notice changes in my behaviors immediately. I had a very positive attitude about everything. My weight loss was very easy. It?s just unbelievable for me, I changed my diet and I lost weight. I just felt like I was going to be able to do this. I?d been overweight for the last fifteen years. I?ve tried to lose weight by cutting out a certain food or not eating as much. I never lost weight because I never did it long enough to see any results. If I liked something, I would eat it even when I wasn?t hungry and I would continue eating it when I was full. Now I think twice about when I eat, what I eat, and how much I eat. I?m definitely much more in control. I don?t feel fat anymore. My clothes are even too big for ... Read more

I?ve lost 15 pounds, 1 size, and 3 inches! I have struggled with my weight ever since my children were born. It?s been a discouraging battle. I?d lose weight, break the pattern and gain it back. I tried every diet, but with little success. I really felt out of control when it came to food and exercise. Now that I am facing menopause, it?s been an even harder struggle. My husband saw your advertisement in the paper and mentioned it to me. We both did the program and lost weight. My husband has lost 40 pounds. We have both significantly changed our behaviors. When we go to the grocery store we stay on the perimeters of the store ? we?ve never talked about it, we just do it. I noticed a change in my behavior the day after my first hypnosis session. I ate half of what I ate before. I went to lunch with some people from work and they asked me if I was feeling okay. My weight loss was very easy because I never felt deprived. I felt in control and felt like I was doing what wa... Read more

I?ve had a weight problem since I reached my forties, and it kept going on until I was wearing Women?s 1X. I was going into a 2X and I said, ?It?s about time I stop this?. I feel much better now; I?m not depressed anymore. I read the ad in the American Statesman and I said to myself ?You really should see about this.? I figured it would be really costly and I didn?t think I could afford it, but I could! The results are well worth it. There has been no effort whatsoever; I?ve just been so surprised. I don?t crave sweets. I don?t crave my cheesecake, which was a big thing with me. I don?t even crave my meats that much. I really like salads. I?m drinking lots of water. This is great! I noticed the changes in my behavior after the first session. I remember walking out of here so relaxed. I didn?t think I was being really hypnotized. And then I said, ?I really feel good!? I know that my body needs the nutrition. My mind was always on food. It?s always planning my next meal. I don?t... Read more

I have lost 22 pounds. My shirts went from size XXL to L and my pants have gone from 38 to 36. I began to get uncomfortable with my weight about 2 years ago. All my adult life I have been overweight. I have flat feet and wear orthotics. The heavier I weighed the more it hurt to walk farther distances. I needed help seeing myself as a naturally thin person, even though as a teenager, I was very thin. When I went to college and joined a fraternity, I gained a lot of weight really quickly. My self-image was really skewed and out of proportion. This program helped me feel positive about my past. Two other improvements were important. I released anxiety and worry about eating when in social situations. Also, I used to limit the amount of exercise I could do in a day. Now I do however much I want and feel really good.

I have lost 20 pounds and 2 clothing sizes. I have been overweight since I turned 30. It has steadily been climbing. It?s been frustrating for me and really bad for my self esteem and confidence. That?s when I decided to invest in hypnosis to give me the boost that I needed and encourage my motivation. I know I can do it but I had proven to myself I hadn?t changed anything except the loss of the weight. I hadn?t changed my mind and my choices.

The first week I noticed the increase of water consumption. My weight loss was gradual. I don?t feel deprived of food and the cravings for various foods have decreased. The ability to say no has been easier than I expected. In the past I would have bee... Read more

I saw that this place had so many positive reviews so that's why I went there. I'm amazed at those people who wrote reviews. This place is a total scam. I called them to find out how much there program was. A young girl answered the phone and wouldn't give me any information. I told her that I needed to get a ballpark figure before I came in to find out if it's something that I want to invest in. She told me that I had to come in for a "free" consultation. I went in and met this person who was a total salesperson. It took about 25 minutes of my time for her to finally tell me that the program was about $3300!!!!! That's only for about 14 sessions with a hypnotist. The other times I guess they expected me to go in and listen to hypnosis CDs. So basically, these rip offs wanted me to pay them $3300 for 14 sessions and they want me to pay them to listen to CDs. That's totally crazy! Plus, they do hard core sales. I really felt like they were doing a job on my head because th... Read more

I lost 26 pounds went from an XL to a L. More importantly, I went from being out of control and ashamed that I couldn?t do my weight loss program alone to knowing the control could come from within again. Positive Changes appealed to me because I wanted my weight loss to be permanent. I was an overweight kid, always eating everything on my plate. I was finally trim as a teenager, but got up to 150 lbs on my 5?2? frame after having my kids. I tried a variety of things to lose weight. Because this program works with the subconscious, some wonderful things happened right away. After the first session, I started chewing every bite of food slowly without even thinking about it. It took me 20 minutes to eat a meal - I was in shock and delighted at the same time because it gave me hope that other things could happen easily, and they have. I?m not eating beef or pork, and I?m looking at how much fat really is in food. I?m eating soy products and enjoying how much by body loves them. ... Read more

I started smoking because a doctor suggested that it would calm me down! That?s when it all started. That doctor wiped it in and now Positive Changes has wiped it back out. I smoked 55 years. After lung surgery I started back. I read about Positive Changes many times in the paper and just never thought seriously about it because I enjoyed smoking. I told my doctor I am going to use Hypnosis and she said GO For IT! I have been a non-smoker since July 5th 2005. It took me one session to quit. I came in, did the session and I said to myself ?I wonder if this really works?? and I took a cigarette out of the pack and I lit it up and 2 puffs in I thought ?Why did I think I liked this for so long?? and that was the end of it. I have never smoked since. And I feel confident that I?m a non-smoker for the rest of my life. That?s what I can?t get over. All I needed was this change in my mind fifty years ago and I could have been a non smoker. But who knew? It doesn?t bother me at all to be arou... Read more

I was 19 when I started smoking the first time, and about 42 the second time. I learned about Positive Changes when I was reading the paper. I?d tried the patches, the gum, the pill. None of it helped. I stopped smoking a lot easier than I thought I would. I listened to my tapes and I just didn?t want it and made myself decide that I didn?t want it. I felt out of control before.

I have lost 15 pounds and 1 clothing size in 18 weeks. I have struggled with my weight for 5 years. It?s been horrible because each year I put on a little more weight.

I was smoking between 1-1/2 and 2 packs a day and have been smoking since I was 17 years old, over 30 years. I have quit 3 different times, but never for a significant amount of time. I saw the ads for Positive Changes in the newspaper and read them for months until the day I decided I was going to call.
