Positive Changes Hypnosis

First I need to address the ex-employee..we were told that the sessions were being recorded. We all knowthat someone could say something ""inappropriate"" happened in my private session. Unfortunatly their are people out there that would do that. \r The cost is so worth it, I guess because my health is worth it. I am a struggling female trying to make a living, and I was able to do this because they worked it out on payments that I could budget in. Ask a hospital to do that for you when you go in for a stomach job. And because you get the surgery, doesn't mean you'll stay thin. You need to have your thought processed re-aligned to start eating correctly. I'm closed to 60 and I found out things about foods and vitamins I never knew. I lost 88lbs and the only reason I didn't lose more is because I have stopped exercising due to injuries. But I'm not gaining either.\r I feel very strongly about this process, because I tried everthing except surgery, and and that was never an option for me. Pros: Eat healthy and stay healthy Cons: NOTHING, it's all good more

I was given a free consultation---it takes only an hour,not 3. I don't know of many programs which give you cost figures without face-to-face consultations. there was very little pressure and you can cancel after 1 session if you feel it won't work for you. I lost 65 pounds over 9 months and regained a lot of self-confidence I had surrendered. It's easier to remain stable as you are used to making good decisions about food and beverages=not losing weight with portion controlled pre-packaged food and/or embarrassing weigh-ins. I think people owe it to themselves to check out the program before bashing it & listening to disgruntled former employees. it works!!! Pros: You are in charge Cons: Not close to my home more

I think it's horrible that so many people are saying bad things about this company. I went to Positive Changes and had great success. Yes, it's a little spendy but it works, so it's well worth it. From all these reviews it sounds like a bunch of upset employees who are unhappy. I lost almost 40 pounds in about 6 months. I saw many people every time I went into my session who also said they were getting great success. If someone wasn't getting the results it was generally because they weren't following the program. It's not a magic pill. But it's the closest thing I've found. It changed my whole view on food. I now desire to eat healthy instead of wishing I would. I honestly would chose to eat an apple over chocolate and I never could of said that before. Pros: no scales Cons: i really can't think of any more

I appreciate all the negative responses for Positive Changes. I was thinking of going to the Beaverton location (since I work down the street from that location) and just seeing what it was all about but not now! I wanted to know how much money I was looking at spending if I did that and since it would cost me a few grand with possibly no sucess story, I'm glad I found all you great reviewers to tell me! I will let one of my family members NOT to look into Positive Changes. They may end up Negatively Stuck! As for the one and only positive review, I too don't believe that review. Possibly an actor that was hired for the commercials was given a few bucks under the table to write that review(?). Pros: Decided NOT to try Positive Changes Cons: Gotta do the ol' work-out eat less program! more

I am a highly educated woman with a degree in psychology and also law. I agree with what the previous woman/former employee said about the insults and degrading way employees were required to talk to clients to mess with their heads to get them into the clinic AT ALL COSTS. \r I had called the first time about a year ago and was put off by the pushy way I was handled and not given ANY info over the phone and I was even told I was not committed to my weight loss JUST BECAUSE I did not wish to be forced into making an appointment on a whim without any information. I tried to call back last week believing that perhaps it had to do with the first individual I had contact with last year.....this is what happened: When I called, I tried with everything in me to ascertain the amount of cost involved in treatments for weight loss only to find that there was an avoidant answer for every question I asked, including being told I could not even receive a GENERAL idea or ballpark of costs involved. When I said that I was not going to waste 3 hours of my business consulting time to come in only to find out that the costs were cost prohibitive, I was told by the representative, ""YOU ARE JUST NOT COMMITTED ENOUGH TO YOURSELF AND YOUR WEIGHTLOSS GOALS YET TO TAKE THAT IMPORTANT FIRST STEP AND COME IN FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT"" ;followed by ""WHEN YOU HAVE DECIDED YOU WANT YOUR BODY BACK AND TO LOOSE WEIGHT, YOU WILL MAKE THAT APPOINTMENT"". \r I have worked in gym membership sales in the past as well as having joined a professional dating service and KNOW THE PLOYS USED to get clients to sign up and when I called the representative on her choice of words and manipulation, she tried to accuse ME of insulting her!! What nerve on her part! I am now educated to me an attorney and that is the consulting work that I was not about to take 3 hours away from at the cost of $765 to me just to find out that the weight loss services provided was too excessive of an expense to justify taking the time out of my schedule with clients to make the appointment.....ALL I ASKED WAS A PRICE RANGE BALLPARK, NOT THE ACTUAL PRICE!! When I told her I would NOT be making the appointment without knowing if it was even worth my time to do so, she told me, ""YOU ARE JUST NOT COMMITTED TO YOUR WEIGHTLOSS OR YOURSELF"". \r I am not a foul mouthed woman, but it was everything in me not to say some foul words to her. The representative also told me that the Beaverton location WAS THE ONLY LOCATION IN BOTH WASHINGTON AND OREGON, which is why I did the searches that lead me to this site. I was merely trying to see if there was indeed only ONE location in the Pacific Northwest.\r My eyes were wide open when the girl below who says she used to work there stated that they tape clients without their permission....OH MY GOD, WHY IS NO ONE FILING A LAW SUIT???? Sounds like it would be easy to form a class action suit on this place!! I want to say THANK YOU to the former employee who took the time to write the review below mine about what really goes on behind the scenes at this place! I AM GOING TO AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! \r \r I do not need to feel worse or for that matter emotionally abused because of GREED on the part of the owners of this franchise. \r Cons: HORRIBLE, INSULTING CONTROLLING PEOPLE more

This is the Best thing I have ever done for myself!!!!\r I have done the weight loss program...... lost 73lbs. 12 more than I even imagined!!!!\r I then came back and did the quit smoking program ............. within the first 3 sessions I QUIT SMOKING!!!!!\r HOW can I put a dollar bill on saving MY life???????\r OH MY GOSH I could NOT put a price tag on MY health?????\r Life gives you 1 ONLY 1 chance at it This was ALL NATURAL!!!\r Walking in to the center I FELT instant care, My appointments have NEVER been rescheduled because I was late. ( have been twice) I was always accommodated. \r ""HENCE"" the name I am a MUCH more POSITIVE CHANGED woman!!! For ME this was the BEST decision I could have EVER made! Pros: From the beginning to the end, amazing! They made this affordable 4 me. Cons: The last session.... I wish I could have stayed forever. I want MORE Hypnosis!!!! more

The ads say you will ""melt off"" weight. What a load of BS. I feel foolish that I fell for this. First you are ""evaluated"" by a sales person who goes through a script with questions designed to make you feel awful about yourself and ready to hand them the $2,500 the program costs. Then you get some CD's to listen to at home. You also get ""personal"" sessions with ""counselors."" One of them admitted to me that her previous job was selling water filtration systems, nothing to do with counseling. There are also a few classes with info that you probably already knew, such as the startling information that margaritas have lots of calories. \r \r When the program doesn't work, the counselors play hardball. You are not trying hard enough. It's your fault. They will tell you the people that ""melted off"" the weight were highly motivated and listened to the tapes an average of five times per day. This probably does work for some people. So does Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Dr. Atkins et al. But do NOT believe the ad claims about how easy this is. There is no way to melt off weight! Don't be fooled. Cons: It doesn't work more
