Hi, my name's Carol. I've had hypnotherapy before. My first impressions of it, I was quite open-minded. I wasn't particularly worried. I'd had an auntie that had it done before and she had had good results, so I went into it very open-mindedly. It's just like going into a deep relaxation. You're really in control of everything. You know what's around you, what's going on, so you're not like put out of it or anything. It's just like a deep relaxation reaching into your subconscious. I first went to Caroline because I was suffering from some post-traumatic stress after having a really bad back incident, which my life was taken away from me because I couldn't walk, I couldn't drive, I had to sit for many, many weeks just resting, couldn't do the usual things I wanted to do, and I started suffering with symptoms of anxiety and depression. So not wanting to go on any medication, I decided I want to take the shortcut and just go and see a hypnotherapist. Found Caroline. She'd had an award and was very highly regarded by a friend of mine. And so I booked up to see her with amazing results. She welcomed me into her home and I felt very at ease with her. She listened to everything I had to say and she just knew what to do to sort, sort it all out. I think when we're all put in a position of distress or some form of obstacle in life which we find hard to deal with, there are many things in our subconscious that are lurking away there. Be it upset or anger or something from our childhood. Anything that could be lurking comes out to hit you. And the best thing is to go into this closet, sort it out, go into all these things that are still lurking there, go through them, face them head-on and get them gone because then you can move on with life, which is what I wanted to do. There were several little bits and pieces that were in the back of my mind that kept lurking, so we dealt with them, got rid of them, and now we can move on. And I'm really enjoying life, and Caroline's always there if ever I needed to ask her any questions afterwards. But she's been amazing, and I would not, you know, think twice about recommending her. In fact, I have already to several people. and who've gone and had good results. And yeah, just go and see her because she's amazing. Thank you.
