Today I received this wonderful testimonial from one of my skype clients in France. She asked me to share it will my followers here.
"Dear Angus,
Well, here we are, Friday, 28 Aug 2015, one week to the day after our hypnosis session geared toward helping me to overcome my resistance, inertia, and sense of overwhelm associated with going up to the 3rd floor of my house/the large, lovely attic--that my husband floored so that I could actually use it without risking life and limb--and sorting, culling, bagging, and taking to the local donation site the clothing that has been hanging, bagged, or boxed in my house for the past 5.5yrs since I moved from the USA to France.
When I wrote to you requesting to do a SKYPE hypnosis session slanted toward the successful commencement, processing, and completion of this goal, I told you that I wanted to be able to do the project with a light heart and enthusiasm rather than with a heavy heart and regret due to the variety of criticisms that I lobbed at myself for even having to divest myself of too much stuff that I alone was responsible for having accumulated in the first place.
After our session on Friday morning, 21 Aug 2015, I specifically did not interrogate myself about the session itself and its potential for producing results in the form of focus, initiative, or productivity related to the task that lay before me. I just let myself go about my usual business.
Nevertheless, come Monday morning, I found myself in my attic of my own volition, spontaneously vacuuming my attic, dismantling and reorganizing my utility shelving, and beginning the process of actually taking clothing off of hangers and sorting it into piles of kindred items with an eye toward getting it downstairs, in the car, and off to be given away, once and for all with no regret.
I worked the first day, Monday, for 3hrs; Tuesday for 3hrs--I hit a snag when I ended up with upper-respiratory distress from the dust after 2 days; took Wednesday off for a social outing; went to the doctor's office for a renewal of my inhalers; and went right back to work for 3-4hrs on Thursday (a day in which I invited a lovely woman over to choose items that she might like before I gave the rest of the things away); worked for 2hrs this, Friday morning, took 6 bags and donated them; and spent another 3hrs continuing to work this afternoon. I've just come down from the attic and wanted to write to you about my painless progress before time and initiative get away from me.
I want to thank you for working with me on what could superficially appear to be a "nothing" kind of hypnosis session. For me it was far from nothing and was something that had actively been on my mind, needing to be done for 5yrs. Basically, the same s**t I handled, sorted, bagged, and gave away is the same s**t that I had been completely unwilling to deal with doing exactly the same activities to 5.5 years ago in the USA when I packed my container to move to France.
What I cared about and wanted to experience in my post-hypnosis-session state was not having any attachment to the stuff of which I was preparing to divest myself. Actually, I wanted to have both a light heart AND a kind of "amnesia" about the entire process.
I am almost 63 years old and have moved 50+ times in my life--45 of those moves prior to my 36th birthday. I have owned, lost, had stolen, had damaged, had given away
without my permission, and given away of my own volition enough stuff in my lifetime to fill a warehouse, no doubt. I recognize that even the things that I cherish right this moment are, in the end, only props in this fleeting life.
As usual, even though it was I who requested the hypnosis session with you, I was not at all convinced that it would "work" and, as usual, it has "worked" like a charm. I want to thank you for your willingness to work with me on my little project and your always supportive confidence in yourself and enthusiasm for the process of using hypnosis to help dissipate obstacles to accomplishing my modest goals.
I would be most appreciative if you would copy/paste this letter from me into your professional page as a testimonial from me regarding your talent as a humanistic hypnotist. I am going to post this message at All Things Hypno for our friends, too!
I am going to post, at a later date, the remarks I have to make regarding the work we did that made it possible for me to cope with both my sister and her death at a later date.
I already have a nice little focus idea of a new hypnosis session in the near future!
Thank you again, Angus.
