I did have the same experience as a few of the reviews that I read. I went to PA Hypnosis with an open mind to quit smoking. During my initial consultation, Dan V. was very attentive and spent a great deal of time with me (as any good salesman would) and future visits were not the same. He spoke with me for a few minutes, put the headphones and CD on and left...then he never came back. His staff came in to let me know I was done. For the cost, I expected the personal session not a CD. During two of my sessions, he was interrupted and said he'd be right back...half hour later, he came back in to get me plugged in (thank goodness the seats were comfy)\r

During my last session, Dan V. came in to get me started and asked for any cigarettes and lighters. No one told me to bring these. I left them with my hubby as he was still smoking. After my ""quit"" session, I called a day or so later and spoke with an office member. I said, this is like quitting cold turkey (which I've done a few times), I see no difference, Is this how it's supposed to be? She said, are you listening to the CD's. I said, what CDs? I was never given any. He didn't even see me after the last session. She said to give it a few more days and then call if it wasn't any better.\r

I sent a letter outlining my experience & to cancel my last appt in writing. I requested a partial refund as the hypnosis did not work for me (I was smoking again of course). I got no response. Not a phone call, not a letter...NOTHING. I wasn't totally surprised as after he got my money, he was not nearly as attentive as before I paid him. \r

My personal feeling is that if you want something, you have to focus and just do it. I have recently quit smoking on my own and feel much better about it since I did it myself. There is no easy way to do the hard things. I was hoping for an easy quit but I don't believe this is possible. I would NOT recommend PA Hypnosis unless you go in with lots of questions and all the facts AND are prepared to lose money if it doesn't work because you will not get a refund (as you can see by the other reviews where it didn't work). Perhaps hypnosis doesn't work for everyone.
