So just before christmas I receive a telephone call from a nurse friend of mine, “I’ve got one for you” he says, “I got a trainee nurse here who is totally phobic about anything with feathers”. Very interesting I think to myself “Can you help her?” he asks, well never shirking a challenge I jumped in my car, drove to the hospital and spoke to this very pleasant young lady who explained that she had suffered with this problem from a very young age and that it was so bad she could not even look at pictures of birds without having a panic attack.

After some NLP followed by some EFT, the whole process lasting maybe 15 minutes, problem gone!! I received a phone call about an hour later to tell me that both my friend and the trainee nurse had been looking through magazines containing pictures of eagles and there seemed to be no negative reaction. Two weeks later this very charming young lady phoned me to thank me for changing her life, it had made a profound difference to her and she now had no problem to deal with. A month or so later she phoned me again to say she had just returned from a trip to England where she did something she never thought possible, she fed some swans, now that may not seem much to you but for someone who has suffered with a phobia most of their life, this was indeed an event to savour. I have to say that the feeling of satisfaction was tremendous, it is great to get this kind of feedback and knowing that I have made such a difference leaves a very warm glow inside.

Now usually I dont name my case history subjects but this time I have almost been ordered to as the subject in question was that impressed, so here is the story.

I happened to pay a visit to Pop Life Paralimni Store where I saw George who works there, now on this particular day George did not seem his usual self and after a bit of banter he revealed that just a few days before he had written off his car turning it over in the process and was extremely lucky not to have killed himself!! Anyway it transpired that he had chosen to try and persevere with work despite the fact that he was in great pain and had extensive bruising. Now at this point George had no idea that I could help him, he knows me from my graphic design company, Lookers, we make the banners for Pop Life, he knew that I performed a comedy hypnotist show and that related to the fact that I am forever winding him up when I offered to try and help him with his pain he was, understandably, dismissive of the idea.

After I pushed the idea a bit more he finally relented, now to detail his condition a little , he was in constant pain and could not raise his right arm by more than a foot or so, one round of EFT, honestly just one round, and I asked him where on a scale of one to ten was his pain. He looked very bemused and I thought we had not got anywhere. After a minute or so he asked me what I had done to him still looking rather bemused, this had me thinking that perhaps this was going to need considerably more effort from both of us. I, again asked him where his pain level was just to try to get some point of reference for the next step, still looking bemused George looked at me, called me a bastard, and asked again what I had done to him. Now I was starting to get a little concerned, so I asked again where his pain level was and this time he look at me, still bemused, and said “I haven’t got any pain now! What did you do?” He obviously found the experience bordering on the surreal, he simply could not understand where his pain had gone but his pain had truly vanished.

Feeling relieved at the result (if you had seen his face you would understand, he looked like he had been hit by a bolt of lightning) I could see the colour returning to his face and he proceeded to tell me and everyone else in the shop that his pain had totally gone and he could now indeed lift his arm above his head. I have been back to the shop several times over the last two weeks and he remains completely pain free.

If this sounds unreal you are welcome to visit Pop Life in Paralimni and ask him for yourself.

Recently I had a client with a total fear of spiders, now I dont mean just a bit afraid, I mean turned into a quivering jelly just at the thought of a spider. A combination of NLP and EFT saw a complete collapse of the phobia in around 15 minutes. Okay so add another 15 minutes to reinforce the results with a little hypnotherapy and 2 months on still no problem with spiders.

Now I wont claim this is always the case but it really can happen that fast.

After expounding my thoughts on stage hypnosis shows, let me relate an actual case history. After performing a stage show about a month ago, I noticed one of the volunteers had a bandaged knee, I asked her after the show what was her problem, she told me she was a carer for the elderly and in trying to lift a patient she had twisted her knee and pinched a nerve, she showed me a large swelling to the side of her knee and said she had not been able to walk properly for about six months. Two full circuits of EFT and after asking where on a scale of 1-10 her pain was she replied it had disappeared, a week later she came to see me performing again and told me she was still pain free. This whole process took maybe 4 minutes in total.

I’ll stand by these methods for exactly one reason, they work!
