Hypnotherapy for IBS.. Life seems worth living again!

When I contacted Patrick I was miserable as my IBS was taking over my life.

All I could think about was my next visit to the bath room and I was turning down invitations and putting off visitors to avoid embarrassment. My Dr could treat the pain but told me I would have to learn to live with the other symptoms, I told Patrick that I was not expecting a cure but the confidence to go out and live my life without being preoccupied with toilets.

Patrick gave me some lovely relaxation exercises to stop me worrying so much and helped me with dietary advise as well as making me feel that I was not a neurotic old lady but someone with a real condition that could be controlled. Although I am still recovering I have been able to enjoy nights out am sleeping better and have had my medication reduced. Life seems worth living again!

I came to Patrick Lilley for hypnotherapy regarding anxiety and issues with self-confidence

I came to Patrick Lilley for hypnotherapy regarding anxiety and issues with self-confidence. In total I had three hypnotherapy sessions with Patrick. Patrick is a very kind, understanding, and attentive man who listened to my issues and in return provided some valuable guidance and skills to help me deal with my problems. These included very helpful breathing exercises which allowed me to sleep better and calm myself in times of stress or anxiety. Patrick also used cognitive methods to help retrain my brain to look at myself from an outsiders perspective and look at what I did, and do, good in life, instead of focussing on the bad things. This was useful in improving my self-confidence and self-image. I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone undergoing similar problems to me, as each session leaves you feeling happier, confident, and capable to tackle any issue.
