We received an e-mail recently from a young lady who was thinking about buying one of our hypnosis products. She went on to tell us that she’d mentioned to her friends that she was going to use hypnosis to help her to reduce her weight.

She was quite concerned and anxious because most of her friends have been filling a mind with silly stories about their perceived dangers of using hypnosis. They told her that it would never work, they told her that it was dangerous, the told her she would be walking around in a trance and that she would never wake up.

What a load of the baloney! I understand that sometimes people take the mickey out of friends but it does disappoint me that so-called friends could be so negative about the real positive therapeutic use of hypnosis. I do also wonder how qualified her friends are to make these ridiculous comments. I’ve also noticed over the years that sometimes even friends aren’t always very helpful when we try to do our best to make positive changes in our life. The amount of times I’ve known people doing their best to stop smoking and their so-called friends have dragged him outside to have another cigarette. I’m not sure just how helpful this behaviour is, but I do understand that it goes on.

Back to this young lady who recently e-mailed us not knowing whether to purchase our hypnosis products or not. I went on to tell her that our hypnosis products were produced and delivered by the best in the business. I went on to tell her that our hypnotherapists were tremendously experienced and would never do anything to put our customers at risk whatsoever. I went on to tell her that all safeguards were in place to ensure that all our products were professional, safe and ethical. I went on to tell her that our hypnosis recordings were structured to ensure they were completely safe when used as directed. I went on to tell her that hypnosis is a natural state and was, in itself, completely safe. I went on to tell her that our hypnotherapists have thousands upon thousands of hours of experience working directly with clients, helping them to resolve many different problems in many creative ways.

This young lady e-mailed me thanked me for my response and said she’d have a think about it. We must’ve sowed some seeds at some level, because the following day she ordered two of our hypnosis products.

Last week this same young lady e-mailed us to let no just how well she was getting on, she went on to tell us she was pleased she was using her hypnotherapy and that it was working well for her, whatever her friends thought!
