A recent clients perspective
I began seeing Alf after years and years of living with extreme anxiety after an incident I had a while back. The anxiety had taken over my life and I was unable to even stay home alone as a 24 year old adult, something most adults do often. On top of that, I was paranoid all the time, especially in situations that posed no threat to me. I had mental symptoms as well as physical symptoms like feeling extremely ill and stuttering. I entered into hypnotherapy not knowing what it was like and not knowing much about it at all, which again caused me more anxiety. I pushed myself and threw myself into it and I was thankful I did even in the first 5 minutes. Alf was open and very informative about what to expect from the process, how it works, and the background around it, and was very clear that it’s nothing like you see on tv shows- you can’t be made to walk around like a chicken or any of those silly things. The hypnosis can’t make you do anything you don’t want to do and you can stop at any moment. All of this information put my mind at ease and it was all up from there. His kind, gentle nature made for a very comforting experience. I was able to feel safe in opening up and experiencing my emotions in the moment. He was able to give me so many techniques to use every day that are now second nature. These techniques are used to control how I’m feeling and what I’m thinking. The hypnosis itself was a completely comfortable experience, and made me analyse everything that had happened in the past and now feel extremely comfortable in my present. After a handful of sessions, I was lucky enough to see such amazing results. I was staying by myself, my unnecessary paranoia had gone and I even no longer stuttered!! My family and friends have seen a change in me and they didn’t even know I was undergoing this! I still have my moments as all humans do, especially as someone who had been through a traumatic experience in their life, but with the tools Alf has given me, all the little things I would usually worry myself sick about, I can so easily control and fix. I trust Alf so much and am extremely thankful for what he has done for me. My quality of life has changed so much thanks to Alf- I am no longer letting my anxiety consume my life like I did before. I only wish I had of done this sooner!! Thank-you so much Alf!!.....Female Sydney |
