Hypnotherapy Testimonial from Sandra:

I remember going to my first hypnotherapy session in Brighton and my feelings of apprehension. I had absolutely no idea what to expect, however decided to keep an open mind and give it a go.

Having gained a lot of weight after my second pregnancy and with such a busy lifestyle I was willing to give anything a go to help me get back into shape. Russell Potts talked to me at great length about my eating habits, lifestyle and aspirations. He made so much time for meand listened intently to my endless ramblings - I thought at that point that was all there was to it. I could not see that there was room for change in my life, I felt fat, tired and exhausted. It seemed an impossible situation, yet, Russell and his skillful sessions of hypnotherapy helped me to change.

Following my first session which focussed primarily on changing my eating habits and attitude to food, I went home for lunch and recall making a tuna sandwich, automatically leaving off the butter and as I went to tuck into it I found myself taking unusually small bites and chewing so,so slowly. It was if the sandwich was never going to end and I eventually tired of it and put the remainder in the bin. My appetite soon became smaller and my stomach expected less.

My following session with Russell focussed on the fitness element of my life and my frustrations at never being able to find the time or gather the motivation to exercise. The following day I cycled to work and purchased an exercise bike for home. I would use this last thing at night whilst watching my pre-recorded soap operas when the children were sleeping, instead of having my late night snack and glass of wine to send me off to sleep.

Now approximately two years down the line I am the image I visualised myself as wanting to be in my first session. I have lived parties and situations where I behaved and was treated as I had aspired to be in my unconscious mind during hypnotherapy and as well as a keen interest in diet and nutrition.

I recently re-visited Russell to help me enhance my self cofidence and cope with nerves for my forthcoming assessment as a fitness instructor!

I have laughed in sessions, I have cried, sometimes I feel unsure of my interpretatons. Often I feel like a child but always following a session I feel fantastic and ready to take on the world! I always feel valued and listened to and never feel embarrassed. I don't usually recall a lot about the process yet something will act as a trigger and remind me, ie. the buzz I get from exercising, my desire for healthy salads, the feel good factor and the flattery I get about my body tone and how I wanted to see myself in the mirror, cheese pasties ( a past passion) are viewed by me as lumps of lard and the all engulfing colour yellow gives me the safe, feel good factor.

Maybe at some point I could have managed my own change ... who knows?

All I know is that hypnotherapy works for me and is an experience that I value and would recommend to anyone.

Thank you Russell.

Testimonial : Hiran Ilangantileke –
Professional Recording Artist

Russell certainly lives up to his admirable reputation. As musicians functioning for the first time in a fully professional setting (i.e. we finally got our recording deal!) our nerves were being shredded daily. We sought out hypnosis to help with focus and to stay calm so we didn’t
blow the opportunity of a lifetime. We undoubtedly got what we came for and, 2 months on, the whole band is certain about the edge Russell's sessions give us. Our eyes are opened to a whole new approach and we feel more in tune with our work. Looking back you kind of feel silly about the ‘black magic’ ideas of hypnosis you have before you take the sessions.
I can recommend Russell as he gives you real individual attention and guides you to find what is best for you.“
