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 the alcohol! All of the Hypnotists there have been my favorite. Tyresa checks on me often. and I Love her for that! My Life has meaning again. I love me again. You all have choices.... weight, smoking,depression,or alcohol, This REALLY works!!!! Ask for Tyresa she has such a gift and LOVE about her, she will see you into the new you!!! Pros: Honestly, caring, Lyoaly...confidential!!!! Cons: I am sad to be leaving.... NOT that I need this but I hav enjoyed being there.

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 more energy at night. I used to come home from work exhausted and would go to bed early. Hypnosis has helped me drink water as my drink of choice. I used to drink from 6-10 cups of coffee a day. Now I drink ? cup a day. I would also drink tea all day long. I haven?t had a glass of tea since I began the program and haven?t missed it. Every day my wife comments on how much better I look. My confidence has soared; it?s the first time I have felt confident about reaching my goal weight. My sense of ease and internal peace are the greatest benefits. I know that I have found an effective way to be successful.

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 want chocolate anymore. My weight loss has not been quick, but it has been easy. It?s happening for me. My allergies are not as bad as they used to be. I don?t ache due to weather changes. I can have a taste of ice cream and I don?t need all of it. I crave vegetables! I hardly eat bread anymore, and I love my protein shakes. They?re so satisfying. Losing weight has given me much more self-confidence. I know what I want and that?s who I am. I came to PCH to lose weight, but the best benefit I have had is the ability to get a handle on life. To see that there is a bright beginning for me and that I can be successful and happy. I am in charge of that, I can choose what affects me. I know these changes will be permanent because I believe in myself. I didn?t have to work to do this. I would always recommend PCH, because it works. Positive self talk helps everyone. Anyone who wants to make a change and will be patient will become in tune with themselves and it will work.

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 much in control now. Hypnosis has helped me to eliminate my cravings and desire for cigarettes. Quitting smoking has definitely helped with my confidence. I don?t feel like an outsider anymore. The most important benefit I?ve gained from Positive Changes would be that I might live a longer life now. I feel better. I would definitely recommend Positive Changes to anyone who wanted to quit smoking.

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 at work any more. My feet don?t hurt so much. My blood-pressure is fine. And the doctor said he could tell I had more energy and felt better so keep on doing what I was doing. My kids really notice the difference in my mood and my sister too. I am more calm. My confidence level is better. My boss keeps asking me what I?m doing to lose weight so I have told her about Positive Changes. And I want to help another friend who?s having pain from her back surgery. Losing weight and a better attitude are the benefits of coming to Positive Changes. I admit that I had a poor attitude. Now I am happier. I don?t want to stay in the dark. I get up off the couch and don?t mind people seeing me. I don?t have anything to hide. This is not a diet. I am training myself to eat healthy so I know this weight loss will be permanent.

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 were easy to stop because I never had any cravings. The process has been very relaxing and I have a lot less stress. I know that I have all the support that I need with Positive Changes. I feel like I?m in control because I?m doing the things that I wanted to do to begin with. I wanted to drink more water and eat better. I like the fact that I can go to the gym four and five days a week and enjoy it. Losing weight and getting healthy has giving me more confidence because I look and feel better. I put on some pants that I haven?t been able to wear in three or four years and they fit! My biggest reward from Positive Changes is how much better I feel about myself. I know that these changes and my weight loss will be permanent because I?m not just losing weight; I?m changing patterns and learning new and better ways to live my life. I would feel confident recommending Positive Changes to others because it?s been very beneficial to me and I know that it works.

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 first time in my life. I was overweight (miserable) for about 5 years, then I read the newspaper ad about Positive Changes Hypnosis! It was simply a matter of learning what to do, and doing it?as easy as that! I noticed a change in my behaviors immediately. I am definitely in control now! Hypnosis helped me focus on myself. I don?t seem to focus on myself without prodding. I never put myself as the most important thing. Hypnosis helped me get over the conflict that I had with that. Losing weight has given me more confidence. I learned what good nutrition is. I would recommend Positive Changes Hypnosis to anyone, because I feel my weight loss is permanent.

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. Generally I feel better, have a lot more energy and feel great! I get up feeling good and go to bed feeling good. In traffic I feel more patient. My confidence level has quadrupled! For the first in my life I feel like I can take the weight off and keep it off. The greatest benefit is the stress relief because stress can cause so many problems including weight gain. These changes are going to be permanent. I am sure this will be a lifetime change. When I?m in the grocery store and see people reading labels, I want go up and tell them about Positive Changes. So in the future I will enjoy recommending Positive Changes to those who ask.

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 control a lot better. My parents are constantly pinching me on the sides, and people have noticed at work, too. Losing weight and getting healthier has definitely given me more confidence. Relaxation is my biggest benefit from coming to Positive Changes. I think that the relaxation and the support system is what really makes it work. I believe these changes and the weight loss will be permanent this time because I?m just not going back. I?m just not going to do it. I would definitely feel confident recommending Positive Changes to others because I know a lot of people could benefit from the relaxation techniques, just changing their thought processes? Getting them in the door is a whole other story, but I would recommend it for anybody.
