After starting therapy I started to realise that over the years my phobias and obsessions had become a normal way of life. I started a journey to get me on a plane to go on holiday but I managed to sort through a lot of emotional bagged at the same time. Each week I would enjoy the clam feeling of relaxing, as relaxing was something I rarely did even when exhausted. It was good to get things off my chest things I didn’t even know were there. I realised that therapy was working a few weeks in, when I was out with my friends little boy and I bent down to feed the ducks, my friend stood back in amazement that I hadn’t even reacted to the birds. I use to freeze in the middle of Chester and have even stood screaming if a bird comes near me. So at this point I knew I was doing the right thing.

My OCD had started to calm down in the past I have cleaned and bleached the house before work done a 12 hour day at work and had to clean when I came home. (even if no one was there all day). If I was upset I would clean, it exhausted me. I did it 5 time’s one day that was an all time low. About 2/3 of the way in I managed my holiday I flew to Spain for a week. It was such a relief. Since therapy I have even booked a weekend break to Rome and really enjoyed that too.

I would recommend hypnotherapy with Andy

it has given me my life back. No more panic attacks. I love that I make arrangements with friends and stick to them. I always wanted to join in but when it came to the day or night out once again panic would set in and I would have to find excuses so I could stay in. I now do my housework once or twice a week at a normal pace or leave it till tomorrow if I’m tired or have made plans.

I’ve taken back control and it is fantastic.

Thank you Andy
