Chris's Story

Chris is one of our many success stories

“I came to see Andrew about 3 years ago, almost out of desperation.  I was always pretty worried about seeing the dentist and shortly before I came to see him I had to change my dentist due to a retirement and this increased my anxiety.  I was also always against the concept of ‘hypnosis”, in fact only a few years before, I stopped smoking permanently without any help of any kind, so I knew that ‘mind over matter’ worked.  Yet I was unable to ‘pluck up courage’ to face the dentist’s chair, and endured days of anxiety as I approached the inevitable day whenever I had to go.

I am a perfectly fit young man I was fed up with this literally taking over my life.

Andrew’s method was surprisingly easy, in fact for some time even after the sessions I wondered what on earth might have changed, seemingly nothing very physical was done or happened.  Unlike what we normally perceive as ‘hypnosis’ with dangling crystals and falling under the influence and control of a stranger – we simply discussed some things and over the course of the sessions learned more about myself than anything else.  I also listened to some CDs, spoken words and learned some relaxation methods and breathing techniques.

The effects of the sessions grew more and more over time and very subtly yet seem to have had just as much of an effect on many other more general areas of my life and not just dentists' appointments.

I can honestly say that its changed my outlook on life itself and made me more aware of how to deal with many different types of situations that life throws at me.  Confidence in myself has grown and dare I say ‘Pandora's box’ has now been opened into the possibilities that are open to me in many aspects of my life where I perhaps previously held back, because of fear.  

Not a week goes by without my recalling to how limited I was before I came to see Andrew and how grateful I have become that if I had not felt the perceived fear going to the dentist, I would have not discovered so much about myself and what else life has to offer me, and you”
