Exam Stress - feedback from people who have overcome Exam Nerves using Fast Track Hypnosis.
Testimonials
Over the years my waiting room walls have gathered quite a lot of letters from past clients telling of how my Fast Track Hypnosis has helped them. Many people coming through my door for the first time will say to me " I bet you haven't heard of my problem before". Then I would point them to a letter of someone with a similar problem.
"I got up.
I went to the exam centre.
I chose my questions.
I answered them.
I went home.
No problems, no worries, nothing to get worked up about, in fact everything normal. Is this the same person who was so nervous that in previous exams she could not control her pencil, and her writing shot off all over the page. The same person who was so frightened that even thinking of the course work made her so ill she had to attend the doctor! I can't believe the change in myself-thank you for all you have done."
"Dear Mr Gilchrist, just a note to let you know that the fast track hypnosis sessions plus the CD worked marvels- beyond what I'd hoped for. After having sat two parts of a five part Irish Language "a Level " , may I just say, I can't wait for the remainder of the exam. NO NERVES were experienced on entering the centre nor during the exams. Also the subject material came back just as I needed it !. Many thanks again ,yours Faithfully Darragh"
"Dear Alan, This is an update as promised, which I know is probably destined for your waiting room...so I will tell your clients my story, which will hopefully help them. I began to suffer palpitations, nausea, dizziness and headaches. I also began to have panic attacks, which were prompted by a feeling of what Alan refers to as "impending doom" before entering certain situations. I thought I was going mad. I did not know it at the time, but I was under immense pressure: I was in my final year at university, I had noisy neighbours and had suffered bereavement.
My symptoms began to prevent me from doing everyday thing, such as attending lectures. I did not suffer from claustrophobia, but I felt that if I entered a class I would need to escape. This feeling spread to other situations. and also affected my working and social life. I tried everything. I visited my doctor and a counsellor, who were both understanding, but could not help me with my immediate situation. soon after, I thought of hypnotherapy. I found Alan's advertisement in the Yellow Pages and when I spoke to him, he told me I had a fear of losing control. Now after five sessions and following all of Alan's instructions, I feel much better. I have been to move on with my life without feeling the same intensity of fear. I sat an exam last week, and am now looking into classes in order to understand stress and how to cope with it. Sitting an exam and attending class would have been unthinkable as little as two months ago. So thank you Alan, for giving me back the courage to take control of my life. To the person who is reading this now, just remember all is not lost. With Alan's help you can do it!. And Alan- " I hope I never see you again"!! Best wishes, Martina.
"Dear Alan, I want to convey a feeling, so, imagine it is an ordinary day. You get up. You go to the shop for some bread. You go in. You choose a loaf. There are no queues so you pay for it without any problems. Then you go home. No problems, no worries, nothing to get worked up about, everything normal. Now hold on to that calm, normal feeling and project it into my situation. I got up. I went to the exam centre. I chose my questions. I answered them. I went home.
Is this the same person who was so nervous that in previous exams she could not control he pencil and her writing shot off all over the page, leaving a mark like someone telling a lie on a lie detector machine? The same person whose hands shook so much that she unintentionally flung her pencil case and contents off the desk and onto the floor, disturbing everyone else? Yes, it's the same one - but not since you taught me how to hypnotise myself. Some things that I did not tell you about in the sessions (because I did not think of them as being important) were:
Any time that I went for a job interview I took ill. Even filling in an application form would leave me in so much pain I would have to abandon the effort. Because of this I was on homeopathic medicine. It helped but gave me a cough that would not go away so the doctor gave me an inhaler. I am now so calm that I do not need either the inhaler or the medicine. I used to get worked up when things went wrong in the office. Everything seemed the end of the world. Now I am totally laid back and take upsets in my stride. I now come across to the management as capable and I've been given more responsibility, which doesn't bother me in the least. I can't believe the change in myself but I know it is the self-hypnosis, because I took a fortnights break from it after the exams, and everything began to "slip" so I went back to it. Thank you very much for all you have done, yours calmly Edyth Mc C"
