"I want you to know just how much hypnotherapy has changed my life over the past two months. When I first came to see you about my IBS problems, I was at a very low point in my life. In only a couple of years IBS had managed to practically ruin the life I was accustomed to. Daily I grew more & more afraid to et out with friends, ride in cars with others, go on vacation and spend time outdoors for fear I wouldn’t be able to find a bathroom in the nick of time. Even going to work caused me to become more anxious. I felt completely out of control and that fear had taken over my life. I had exhausted myself doing research online about IBS, and learning that there is no cure for the disorder only tired me further.
I had almost given up hope until I came across an article stating how beneficial hypnotherapy has been for IBS sufferers. Understanding that IBS is a brain-gut dysfunction, I immediately became excited thinking about how I could alter my thought process in order to affect change in my digestive system. After doing more research on local hypnotherapists, I came to the conclusion that you were by far the best choice. Your credentials and training out did every other hypnotherapist I came across. But it was my first meeting with you that sealed the deal. In meeting you, I felt as if I were re-kindling a relationship with an old friend, and that old friend reminded me a lot of the “strong person” I had been not too long ago.
From the first day I met you, I have been overwhelmed by your commitment to helping improve my quality of life. And in my 7 sessions with you my life has improved dramatically. You have equipped me with the tools to not only handle my IBS symptoms but to be in control of my thoughts at all times. I can’t thank you enough for all of your care and support in helping me through this difficult time. I wish you good luck and good fortune in all that you do.
Your friend,
M.B.”
“I am writing a testimonial of how much hypnotherapy has helped
me in my challenge to reach a goal weight that will make me feel better
about
myself and to become a healthier person.
I have been “attempting” to lose weight for years-after all I’ve
done it before-however my ability to stick with it has failed for the past
9 years. No incentive has been enough. I was about willing to try anything
except a liquid diet or surgery. I’ve been reading the Alpine Sun for
years and about 2 years ago read an article about losing weight using hypnotherapy.
I am a strong willed individual and was apprehensive about my ability to
allow myself to “let go”. After a year of thinking about it I
decided it was time to give it a try.
Once I met with Judy I felt good and ready to go however, the first week
it was hard to let go of some old habits like drinking soda. It took me about
2 weeks but once I realized that I was in control I could achieve what I
wanted. I began to drink water and to exercise and felt the changes begin.
I have learned the satisfaction of achieving intermediate goals and look
forward to the day when I will be where I want to be and feel good about
myself.”

The Success Hypnotherapy “Stop Smoking Today” program
facilitated by Judy Warfield has offered new hope in my quest to stop smoking.
Through one-on-one counseling and hypnotherapy, I have, after over 35 years
of smoking, been able to stop smoking.
During a series of sessions with Judy, I have been able to discover what
triggers my smoking addiction and have learned how to effectively use my “anchor” word
to successfully ward off my desire to pick up a cigarette.
Not only did I enroll in the one-on-one weekly sessions with Judy, I also
purchased the CD tapes. These tapes, which I listen to every morning and
evening have reinforced the individual meetings that I have taken and they
are extremely effective.
I strongly recommend this unique program and would also recommend purchasing
the CD tapes, it has worked for me.”

“LOSING WEIGHT THROUGH HYPNOSIS HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER. I STILL
EAT WHAT I WANT, BUT THE “SUGGESTION” TO EAT SMALLER, HEALTHIER” AND
ONLY WHEN HUNGRY HAS HELPED. I NO LONGER FEEL THAT “MY TIME” HAS
TO BE ABOUT EATING A GOODIE. IT IS NO LONGER HARD TO GET THROUGH THE EVENING
WITHOUT A SNACK. IT HAS BEEN THREE WEEKS SINCE I STARTED HYPNOTHERAPY AND
I HAVE NOW LOST
9 LBS AND INCHES OVERALL. I ALSO FEEL CALMER AND MORE FOCUSED THAN EVER BEFORE
(I’M A TYPE A PERSONALITY). THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE FOR
MYSELF. IT’S WORTH A TRY."

"To Future Clients:
I am so pleased with my results of Judy’s weight loss program. I have
lost weight and inches without diet pills or starvation.
I feel more active and more in control of my life.
I feel more confident and I can feel my self esteem rising as well.
I know the changes in my old eating habits are becoming new lifestyle habits
that will help me continue to lose all the weight I need and want to lose.
I am so glad I came to Judy. She has been a tremendous help and I highly
recommend her to anyone and everyone who wants to use hypnosis for weight
control
With sincere appreciation,

"I really did fly and did come back all in one piece! I remember all
that you taught me and it was wonderful, no fear at all including the shaking
of the plane. I did as you said…be prepared and ate protein and drank
water and no junk food. I can not believe that I had this fear for so many
years. God Bless you and you are a great teacher, plus I enjoy your talks
and smile. 4 different planes…..no fear…..”

"From a doctor referral request for a client suffering from IBS “He has benefited in a significant way from hypnotherapy”.
Dr. R.H.
"Dear Judy,
You have been a wonderful influence in my life. Your wisdom, experience and wealth of knowledge about people and their behaviors have been of great value to me in understanding my inner self and in improving my relations with the important people in my life. Also, you are a genuine and concerned person who can really understand your clients and relate to them very effectively. You are an outstanding counselor. Add to that your considerable training and skills in hypnosis and you offer the combined benefits of an excellent hypnotherapist.
With your help I have made important strides in overcoming difficult obstacles in my life and now I have improved motivation, self-confidence and effectiveness. I am making significant progress toward achieving my potential as a very successful person and I am pursuing outstanding opportunities in my personal life and in new businesses. Thank you for helping me get my real life on track.
For those who are ready and willing to do their own part to achieve major,
positive changes in their lives, I think that hypnotherapy is a valuable
approach and I believe that they will greatly benefit from working with you,
as I have. You have a talent for hypnotherapy and your future clients will
discover for themselves how beneficial it can be for them as well."

"I grew up with the common misconception that hypnosis was the dark art of mind control; the act of pulling the bizarre out of the seeming normal in people (as in barking like a dog or clucking like a chicken). I found this not to be the case as I undergo hypnotherapy for issues in my life. I am consciously aware of what is going on in therapy, and never subjected to acting in any other way than I normally am. Yes, I am able to relax to a greater degree through the aid of consentual hypnotherapy, but it is always with my consent…never manipulated. Hypnotherapy has allowed me to unwrap a jumble of interweaved problems and myths, and to see the problems for what they really are…each entity itself without being wrapped up with all other mysteries."

"I had IBS for almost 5 years. It was hard because being a teen I wanted to go out and do things. I never really did. Even having a friend spend the night scared me. Always the what if’s got in the way. I’ve now learned to control it and do more things without letting my thoughts control me.”

"Dear Judy:
We are down to our last session, and although I haven’t lost much weight I feel I have some tools to continue.
I didn’t realize how far down emotionally I was until I can look
back and know how much you have lifted me up. Mentally, I am better prepared
for
whatever my future may hold.
Thank you so very much.
I’ll miss you. God bless you now and in your future.
Sincerely,
N.A."
"I have experienced
hypnotherapy many times for a variety of negative behaviors. It has been
a great help to me over the years. What I find is
the talk leading up to the actual hypnosis makes it a personal experience.
When I leave my appt. I feel extremely relaxed, and all positive behaviors
are strongly reinforced in my mind. My experience with Judy Callihan Warfield is such
that she is also a great counselor. She really spends the time to get to
the root of the problem, and helps give me the tools I need to succeed."

"Dear
Future Patients,
If you were to ask me what Judy Callihan Warfield and Success Hypnotherapy have
done for me, I would say, 'Wonders!'.
"I came to see Ms. Callihan at a time when depression was one of my four food groups and consumed everyday. I was ending a tumultuous relationship to which I was very much addicted. I had a job, which was going nowhere. I had moved to a place, which I hated, away from all of my friends and everything I had known my whole life.
"Ms. Callihan showed me how to help myself without medication and bad advice from good-intentioned friends and to find my inner strength to move upward and forward. Helping yourself does not happen over night. After several months of regular visits with Ms. Callihan, I grew strong enough to finally walk away from my bad relationship. I began to realize that I make my decisions for ME. In this process, I decided to relocate back to a place I call “home.” I was confident that I would land a great job and I did!
"When all of the areas of your life look like a “Do Not Enter” sign, it is easy to feel the desire to give up, walk away, and endure days of self-pity. Ms. Callihan gave me the tools I needed to pick myself up when I began to slip. I am proud to say that I am also happily married, finally a mother of a beautiful son, and living in a great home near the beach. All of these things, I wanted all of my life and have been failing miserably to achieve. I learned to not waste my time with those or that which made me unhappy and instead do and be around those who I want in my life. Learning that you do not need someone or something to be happy takes awhile and with Ms. Callihan’s help I realized the difference between needing and wanting and making the correct choices for me.
"I
am not perfect and I continue to see Ms. Callihan for the occasional
'mental refresher'. Thanks Judy, you have made a HUGE difference
in my life. I could not have done it without you."

"I am happy to have this opportunity to express my appreciation and gratitude for the transformation that you brought about in my life.
"I came to Success Hypnotherapy with the goal of conquering a phobia of doctors, dentists, hospitals….even veterinarians. This phobia began in childhood and grew for decades. The better I got at avoiding my problem, the more powerful it became. The anxiety I experienced whenever I considered a trip to the doctor grew more intense with time.
"My decision to try hypnotherapy didn’t come fast or easy. I had considered getting drugs to get me through my ordeal. I knew from experience that could be effective, but it had its downside. I looked into traditional psychotherapy, but that didn’t appear to be the right fit for my specific situation. Finally, it was my good fortune to find Judy Callihan Warfield . After the first consultation I felt excited and optimistic. I also felt very good about myself for taking the first step towards turning things around.
"At my first session I was disappointed to learn that hypnotherapy is not magic. I had more faith in magic than I did in my own power to rid myself of this phobia. But, better than magic, hypnotherapy makes sense. It’s rational and reasonable and understandable.
"First and foremost, I could tell that Judy truly understood my problem and I could see that hypnotherapy is not just a technical formula to follow. Understanding and insight into the human psyche are as valuable as the learned skill. The experience of hypnosis is very relaxing, but at the same time energizing. I left every session feeling stronger and more empowered.
"My first test was a trip to the doctor for a physical exam. As I drove to the office and later while sitting in the waiting room I felt well prepared, but there was still a voice in my head reminding me of my past history. One thing that was not shaken was my sense of resolve. I was ready to see how it all played out.
"As I was led into the exam room a wave of calm washed over me. I felt no more in control of that than I had over the panic that used to overcome me. It felt like magic.
"Since then I have been to the dentist’s office many times, sitting in that chair for hours at a time repairing the years of neglect. Unbelievably, I look forward to each upcoming visit. I think of the dentist’s office now as where I go to unwind. I am more relaxed there than anywhere else in my day to day life. Additionally, I leave with a sense of pride for having taken another positive action and driven another nail in the coffin of my demon.
"I feel fortunate that this was the biggest problem I’ve
had to face in my life. Though it wasn’t a problem that affected
me daily, it was always present and it weighed on me. If I had chosen to
handle my problem
with a valium, I would have made it through the doctor’s visit, but
I would still have my phobia and I wouldn’t be free of its hold on
me. Its underlying message was that I was not in control. From my first phone
call to Judy I began to feel that change. That sense of being in control
isn’t limited to my one specific problem for which I sought help. The
strength that I got from conquering my greatest fear is a strength that goes
everywhere with me."
R.G.
"I can’t tell you how much this has changed my life. I feel better. I smell better. I am a more positive person and I just feel wonderful. My business is growing. My family is proud of me. My girlfriends are proud of me, except the ones who are still smoking and they just ignore me and sometimes even seem to be made at me. I haven’t become a 'harpy' ex smoker but I guess they don’t want to hear how great I feel….is that normal???
"I just wanted to thank you again for all of your help. I knew that I was a person who needed help quitting and your success hypnotherapy worked well for me. I would and have recommend this for anyone who needs the extra help to quit smoking. I call it my subconscious brain therapy.
"Wishing
you well."

"Dear
Judy,
"Although I haven’t been in to see you for awhile, I wanted
to let you know that my life has been dramatically improved by hypnotherapy.
"I had been suffering with an extreme case of Irritable Bowel Syndrome for over 2 years. Through hypnotherapy my symptoms are now under control and manageable. In fact, I sometimes forget that I even have I.B.S.! I am now able to eat many foods that had been eliminated from my diet altogether. I am also medication free!
"Thank
you Judy for giving me my life back!"
R.G.
"Dear Judy,
"I just wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions.
I went in with an open mind, looking for help, and I found it! Hypnotherapy
is the
best present I could give to myself because it really worked and it has affected
a lot of areas of my life. I am less stressed out, and happier now, then
I was before I came to see you! It has benefited me in my home life, work
life, and I am so grateful to you for bringing such calm and positive feelings
towards myself and others, into my life. I am on time wherever I go and it
is so nice! I would recommend hypnotherapy to anyone who asked me about it.
I’d say, 'Go see Judy!'."

“I was an on and off smoker for about thirty years. Mostly on! I had been able to get away from cigarettes at some periods but never permanently. I never made the total commitment.
When I first started therapy with Judy, I was a bit nervous. Immediately, she helped me relax and focus on the project at hand. She made me realize that most of what I thought I knew about cigarette addiction and hypnosis was simply myth. The first step in finding a solution truly is understanding the nature of the problem.
Judy showed me the techniques I was missing to take control of the whole picture of my thinking. I learned to redesign the way I think and talk to myself about smoking. I was surprised how easily it began to come to me, how each day the commitment became more powerful.
The amazing part is that these same tools work in other areas of my life as well.
Thank you, thank you, thank you,”
