PERFORMANCE Hypnosis & Coaching

TESTIMONIALS

Coaching

• I would recommend Robert's services very much to anyone needing creative coaching. He helped me set priorities, organize plans of action, and set clear and doable goals in a year in which I wanted to make very important decisions to get forward with my creative plans. Even though our contact was by email we could arrange a schedule of checks ins and were very much in touch. I felt he was accompanying my creative-organizative process in a very warm, supportive and efficient way.

• I was a smoker for over forty years and had tried numerous times and methods to quit, but without results. I tried acupuncture, group hypnosis and patches, etc. Nothing worked for long. About two years ago, I went to Portland Hypnotherapy, desparate to find a way to quit smoking. Robert worked with me and, after only two sessions, much to my surprise, I actually quit, forever. There has been no looking back since then and, to be honest, no temptation either. I am absolutely thrilled to be one of his success stories! If you are having difficulty quitting, call Portland Hypnotherapy NOW and try life without smoking!!!

• Dear Robert,
  This letter is to acknowledge how Portland Hypnotherapy contributed to advancing my college studies. As you know, the courses I took were scientific in nature, requiring a great deal of memorization. The techniques you taught me to use planted list upon list into memory, giving me the necessary recall to pass exams handily. In addition, your tools for concentration were invaluable. I will certainly consider returning for assistance should other aspects of my life require the sort of attention to which hypnotherapy is relevant. Thank you,

• While training for the Lobsterman Triathlon this fall, I realized I had a paralyzing fear of the ocean. My first practice swim was inhibited by my inability to put my face in the water, and abbreviated by a panic attack. As the Lobsterman begins with a 0.9 mile swim in the Casco Bay, this turned out to be a serious dilemma. At a friend's suggestion, I contacted Mr. Monteux to see if hypnotherapy could help. It did. By examining the way I approach the other events of triathlon - biking and running - we created a way for me and my subconscious to approach swimming - calmly, without extraneous worries or irrationalities, and focused on the finish. After my first session I felt much calmer in the water, but still a bit uncomfortable. After my second and final session, I was able to swim without inhibition in ocean. By race day, the swim evolved into my strongest event. Thank You!

• Dear Robert,
  WOW!!! I cannot believe the way I have been feeling. I know that it has only been 2 days but I have found myself doing things that I would not have thought about, such as striking up a conversation with people in the grocery store. Being able to look people in the eyes without feeling uncomfortable, and many other little things.....

• Robert,
  I hadn't forgotten that I said I would give you a quote on what hypnosis did for me vis-a-vis tennis. It has taken me awhile to get the right words because the results of the therapy has been exercising itself very subtly over the past few months. The process has been remarkable.
  For the tennis, "I am always in the game. There are no more distractions. I can fully concentrate on the ball and only the ball. I am now playing to my full potential." Best,

• Hello Robert,
  I just wanted to let you know how well the hypnosis worked! I skated to the best of my ability and beyond last night. We had an especially tough practice too and I kept moving for the full 3 hours. There were times that I couldn't stop smiling because I felt so good about what I was doing! I felt euphoric at times that I used to just want to give up. Now I finally know what the girls mean when they say they push themselves beyond their limits and focus on the main goal. I have been keeping myself positive about everything I do, from work to derby to relaxing at home. I have a lot more motivation in everything I do, which I knew I had in me but I had to get rid of those negative thoughts.
  I am confident that this will work for me in everything I do, so long as I put in the effort. Thanks for helping me get to this point.

• Robert,
  The work you've done with me has given me an insight into the actual cause of my depression. Thanks!

• After three years I am still using the techniques you taught me with excellent results.

• Hi Robert,
  I wanted to let you know that my presentation last week was an overwhelming success. It was a standing room only crowd. I was pretty nervous, seeing that my boss and I were still making modifications to the presentation at 11:30 PM the night before (his idea not mine!). I applied all of the techniques that you suggested and I was thrilled with the results. It's not that I wasn't nervous, I was (any sane person would have been), but I was able to manage the nervousness so that it didn't interfere with my objectives. I'm not sure I would have been able to do that without your help. People actually came up to me after the presentation to say what a good job it was and how much they enjoyed the presentation (over an hour long of me speaking!). I can tell you that's never happened to me before.
  So, thanks very much for your help. It made a very big difference for me and I am grateful.

• Robert,
  Good morning. I want to thank you for your help in making my presentation a huge success. It went excellent! Never in my life did I feel so relaxed during a presentation. It truly was the best presentation I have ever given. I followed your suggestions and it worked wonders. Before it began, I imagined it being over and people praising me for a job well done, and when I was done, they did! I had three people asking me to apply in their school district. I am a believer. Hypnosis works. Thank you.

• Hi Robert,
  My speech on Saturday went very well. Doing a great speech set me up for a seamless transition into my new role as director. The breathing exercises helped a lot; I was nervous but not paralyzed and I got a lot of positive feedback throughout the day.
  Thank you for your help.

• Dear Robert,
  I had a session with you about 3 weeks ago to deal with stage fright and I wanted to share with you my positive results.
  I do believe that, as a result of our session, I had the most anxiety free stage experience of my life. I still had butterflies, but I did not have terror. I used the emotional freedom techniques you taught me before my entrance each night and I would feel the anxiety diminish each time. And whenever I would feel the fear rise, I would simply tap-tap-tap my way back to sanity.
  Your combination of hypnosis, emotional freedom technique and the practical advice you gave me about preparing for performance really did the trick. I can't thank you enough!!!
