My Hypnotherapy Reviews and Success Stories

Moderation with Drinking Alcohol Success Story

Let me introduce you to Steve and share his story…..

Steve came to me for wanting to change the habit of drinking alcohol specifically red wine. He found he was averaging one bottle of red wine each day then two or three bottles on the weekend. This grew in a habit has been going on for number of years.

Each morning, he would say “I’m not going to drink tonight” endeavoring to use his willpower to try and control the drinking habitual behavior. Of course, at the time of narrative, he was feeling tired and hungover from the night before and worrying about being caught drink drive as to the amount of alcohol still in his system from the two bottles of wine the night before.

By late afternoon, it turned into wine o’clock again to his frustration and disappointment he was unable to break the cycle and attachment to alcohol to have permission to relax. Over time this patten had affected his confidence to be about follow through on his decisions.

In our discussion, we determined that Steve has been use alcohol to suppress frustration at work and the pressure in his chest that would ebb and flow through the day. He was using the red wine to take away the frustration and gave him time to relax while still looking after the family cooking dinner and looking after the children.

Steve opted for hypnotherapy for alcohol moderation as he felt he still wanted to be a social drinker and didn’t want to feel if he was missing out when it came to socialize with family and friends.

After a few a hypnotherapy session together, Steve has changed his relationship with alcohol.  Now he enjoys a few social drinks and is more connected to his wife and family.

Virtual Gastric Lap Band Hypnotherapy Success Story for Weight Loss

Let me introduce you to Debbie and share her story….

Debbie is a very overweight single woman in her mid 50’s who lives alone. She has had a couple of relationships with men during her life. Debbie’s issue is that she is overweight and binges on junk food. Every night she sits watching TV and binges on unhealthy food, including potato chips, popcorn, biscuits, ice cream and chocolate and in large quantities. She says she likes doing this, but the truth is, deep down, Debbie is disappointed with herself for being so over- weight and lonely and for using junk food to take away the emotional pain from the past hurts she experienced with men in relationships. Her behavior has grown into a habit and is now out of control.

Debbie has buried all of the hurt feelings from her previous encounters deep within herself. The shock wave of energy connected to her emotions is overpowering. The overwhelming feelings of rejection are too much to deal with, so she suppresses the emotional energy as it is all too much to face. The result of this suppressed emotional energy is a fear of not being loved again, all stemming from the trauma connected to the previous love, pain, and rejection.

Debbie has many profound memories of what was said to her by the men in her past. She repeatedly plays in those words in her mind and feels the hurt connected to them.

Debbie couldn’t deal with the harsh words of pain, so she suppressed them internally. Those harsh memories are stored in her subconscious mind and have a shock energy wave connected to them to what happened time and time again to her experiences with men, and she has ruminated over them for years.

By opening this highly emotional memory and contributing to it, she justifies why she is single and unable to have a good relationship with men, which influences the empty feeling in her stomach. She experiences this intense feeling of emptiness as a sensation in her stomach, a swirling and wishy-washy feeling that is there but then goes away when she binges on junk food. The more she eats, the less she feels the intense sensation in her stomach, so she overeats to take away the empty feeling.

Debbie’s history is that she has been hurt in previous relationships with men and very misunderstood. She is angry at the past, so she has decided she will not get involved in another relationship again. She feels resentful towards men and does not trust them. Debbie’s trust value has been compromised, and she has given up on being in love again. The first benefit she gains from overeating and binging on junk food is that it takes away the empty feeling in her stomach. The secondary gain, if Debbie is overweight, men will not look at her or be interested in her, she will not receive any attention. Then she will not of falling in love again and she will not get hurt. Debbie’s weight gain is a form of protection from men.

I am happy to say working with Debbie she had courage to look at what was happening with habitual behavior and release all the emotional painful memories to connected to the past.

Debbie now is a size twelve and exercises to feel free and fit. She decided in our session not to look at the past. As does not define who she is as a person, and it did not help her it kept her stuck.  Today she only looks forward to next positive move she can make.

    "I can’t believe I actually did, I made the call. Then it all started to change. I was not sure, but Tracie was good to talk to and made the whole process of getting control over my alcohol addiction easier. I now have confidence around drinking and I can trust myself to not get in a car and drive. She just made it all seem ok and now I feel refreshing in a way, and have a new start. Thank you Tracie."

    Dealing with Tracie Wolter from "Vivid Life Hypnotherapy" was an absolute eye-opening experience for me that was a pleasure to be a part of & experience. Her instructions and strategies were very well sourced, made extremely "patient friendly" and explained to me clearly & concisely throughout our time together. My experience with her was very fruitful and massively positive in the final outcomes she achieved in helping get my voice back. Thanks Tracie .... your complete understanding of your subject matter, overall expertise & beautiful manner were greatly appreciated.

  • Melissa

    I have had two hypnotherapy sessions with Tracie from Vivid life and I can't praise her enough for what she has done for me. At first I was skeptical weather I would be able to have any success with hypnosis for a craving and to this day nearly 5 years later the hypnosis is still working amazing. Tracie is very professional caring and passionate, I would like to say a very BIG thank you to Tracie for changing my life for the better.

  • Michelle

    "I came to see Tracie to get some control over night time eating and help with weight loss. The sessions were very relaxing and provided some very good tools for directing not only food cravings, but many other areas of one’s life. After three sessions, I am feeling much more in control of my emotional eating and now if I choose to have a treat here or there, there’s no guilt attached. I’m simply deciding that in this moment it’s a good choice. In general, I’m feeling much more positive about food issues.

  • Joanne

    If it wasn't for Tracie I would still be stuck in limbo and not living my life. She gently and lovingly gave me the encouragement and more importantly the tools to start taking the steps towards a better, happier life. I can't endorse Tracie and Vivid Life Hypnotherapy highly enough. She gave me back my life and I will be forever grateful and thankful.
