Snake Phobia: " Just a quick note to say thank you so much for your help. To think I came to you just about my snake phobia now makes me laugh. If I had realised that I was carrying around with me so much unhappiness and hang-ups I would have visited you a long time ago. I can honestly say that I feel like a new person and I just feel so free! And will be able to go to Australia at Christmas without my snake phobia spoiling my holiday. Thank you so much, Vanessa."

Claustrophobia: " I would just like to say a huge thank-you for all the kindness you have shown me. I really cannot thank you enough and I can't put into words how much it means to me to feel free of the claustrophobia. I feel like a weight has been taken away. The elation I felt at getting in a lift and not getting in a panic will stay with me for a long time. My husband is grateful as now I have no reason not to ride pillion on his motorbike (couldn't do crash helmets before)."

(Later feedback)
I just thought I would let you know how I managed with the flight to Florida. I couldn't believe myself how I felt as we were boarding the aircraft: I actually looked forward to the holiday. Up until that moment I could only see the flight, and not the holiday. I not only enjoyed the flying but also have been able to go on all the rides at the various theme parks, without the awful feeling of trepidation that I have always felt when going into an unknown situation. Crowds no longer bother me at all and this is such a relief as I have lived with this for a long time.

This has also had an effect on my family as they no longer have to worry about me and can just enjoy the activity. I feel, through you, that I have overcome a huge obstacle in my life. We can now make plans to do all the things that I have run shy of in the past.

Next stop Eurotunnel !!!   Thanks so much.

Fear of Flying: " I listened to your tape every day before I went on my holiday.  The 1st time I got that dreaded panic attack was when we were approaching the airport.  My walkman was constantly plugged into my ears and just by listening to the tape for a few minutes calmed me right down. I was that calm when the plane took off I hardly noticed it. We had to make a stop at Shannon airport to refuel, the landing was a bit scary because it was really windy, but when we took off again the flight was so smooth I was near enough calm throughout. On the odd occasion when I did get a bit anxious listening to the tape just took me to a different place where I forgot my fears. I read my book, did crosswords and chatted to my boyfriend for 12 hours, he thought he was with a completely different person, there was no dramas or tears like previous flights.

The flight on the way back was 8 hours. It was not as smooth, we did experience some turbulence, I had the tape constantly playing. After having something to eat I slept for 4 hours. When I woke up there was just an hour to go before we landed. For me to be relaxed enough to fall asleep is truly amazing. I am very proud of my achievement and I thank you so much for making it possible. I have recommend you to a couple of people whom I know are going to contact you in the near future.

I really enjoyed meeting you and I thank you once again for helping me cope with my worst nightmare."
