I had a wonderful experience yesterday at a networking lunch which I must share. I had treated one of the members of the group for a spider phobia some weeks ago but had had no feedback from her. Yesterday she stood up and read the following testimonial:

"I had a fear of spiders which was so bad it affected my everyday life. What if in lifting that cup out of the cupboard a spider drops out? Just seeing a spider on a piece of paper made me feel physically sick and very upset. Jose Penrose, however, convinced me that life did not have to be like that, if you have a "mind to change"! It had never occurred to me that I could take control and do something positive about this situation.
Convinced that she could help me, I booked a hypnotherapy session. It was wonderful. Jose listened intently to my irrational fears and made me feel at ease discussing something I found very difficult. I have as yet not come across the dreaded beast but I do know that I am now not worrying about what will happen. It does not fill me with fear.
This morning I had a yoga lesson outside on the grass and, along with everyone else I casually took off my shoes and socks and stepped onto the grass without even thinking about what might be lurking in the grass. That to me is priceless. That you, Jose. I will recommend your service to all my friends and colleagues."

What a boost to my confidence - and a confirmation of the effectiveness of hypnotherapy, particularly in the treatment of phobias, panic attacks and other anxiety related problems. My client must, of course, remain anomymous, but I do thank her so much for her excellent recommendation.
