Read Their Hypnosis Success Stories
Ever since Matt Damon went on national TV and told Jay Leno that using hypnosis was "the greatest decision I ever made in my life" it seems that everyone in Hollywood is now trying hypnosis.
Hypnosis isn't the underground therapy it was 20 years ago... hypnosis is becoming popular, world-wide...because it works.
Everyone from Orlando Bloom to Ellen DeGeneres, and David Beckham have used hypnosis, and the variety of issues they have used it for are as diverse as you could imagine, with David Beckham seeking the private help of a hypnotist for "personal issues,” Orlando Bloom using it for weight loss, and Tiger Woods using it to help him get "into the zone" and stay focused when it counts. Hypnosis goes back centuries, but has now been discovered by coaches, sports pros, artists, hospitals, surgeons, nurses, therapists, business people and students to help them with nearly any task that requires improved performance. The reason they seek hypnosis is that it allows anyone to work with their subconscious mind--our storehouse of information of everything we are.
So, here is a small sampling of a variety of celebrities who have successfully used hypnosis and some of the reasons they were drawn to hypnotherapy. All these people have used to hypnosis at some point in their lives to help them to overcome bad habits and personal problems, and transcend personal limitations to become massively successful.

He sought the services of Dr. Dahl when the St Petersburg premiere of his first concerto resulted in a complete fiasco. His failure threw him into a two year fit of depression and apathy from which he could not rouse himself. Finally, friends persuaded him to see the pioneer in the field of autosuggestion. In his memoirs, Rachmaninoff recalls, “I heard the same hypnotic formula repeated day after day while I lay half asleep in my armchair in Dr. Dahl's study: 'You will begin to write your concerto ....You will work with great facility ...The concerto will be of excellent quality ....' It was always the same, without interruption. Although it may sound incredible, this cure really helped me. Already at the start of the summer, I was composing once more. The material accumulated, and new musical ideas began to stir within me - many more than I needed for my concerto. By autumn I had completed two movements ...These I played that same season at a charity concert.... with gratifying success.... By the spring I had finished the first movement ...and felt that Dr. Dahl's treatment had strengthened my nervous system to a miraculous degree. Out of gratitude I dedicated my Second Concerto to him.”
Winston Churchill (British Prime Minister): The famous war-time British prime minister often used to work, plan, and strategize all night. In turn, he listened to hypnotic tapes during the day to help him to stay fresh.
