"Michele helped us to strengthen our relationship to become a nurturing and protective sanctuary in the face of adversity. She helped us to become even closer and more supportive of each other, and to this day I remember her words of wisdom and compassion."

"Over all I have enjoyed this series of sessions and have been able to benefit from them both athletically and professionally. I would recommend this to anyone who may be having trouble breaking a performance plateau.
When used as directed they are a very good tool to enhance both the enjoyment and performance in a sport. Of all the times I have re-examined and reworked my lifting and eating programs, I had never once bothered to look at my mindset as a factor of performance.

“About two months ago, I started listening to Enjoying Weight Loss, your hypnosis CD’s scripted and recorded by Dr. Roberta Temes. Not only did I want to lose about 15 pounds, I also needed to find a way to adhere to a rather strict hypoallergenic diet without feeling deprived. Over these past two months, I’ve lost ten pounds and haven’t been seriously tempted to eat any of the foods off limits to me.
Being hypnotized by Dr. Roberta has led to two major changes. Now, I eat much more slowly and stop when I’m full, something I never used to do. More importantly, I have sustained an exercise program for two months (a personal record) and look forward to exercising every day—something I never thought would be possible. In the past, if I was exercising on a regular basis but the exercise was interrupted, by illness, for example, I would never resume. Recently, though, I had the flu, and as soon as I felt well enough, I was actually anxious to started exercising again.
Whenever I am in a hypnosis session with Dr. Roberta, I don’t want it to end because I feel so relaxed and warm. I wish I could thank her personally for her wonderful CD’s.”

"Teaching stories are a time-honored way of transmitting wisdom. Dr. Dyckman skillfully presents such stories and combines them with the added therapeutic potential of the trance state. His program gives parents an opportunity to share this experience with their children while at the same time fostering an attitude of relaxation and curiosity."

"In Shared Couple’s Trance, Michele Ritterman eloquently helps couples develop their skills in relationships. She guides partners to discover ways to build intimacy and closeness, and also to develop as separate and unique individuals within the relationship. Michele is creative and poetic in her use of language. She presents us with metaphors and stories that are fascinating, engaging and powerful. This CD is masterful and it has my highest recommendation."

"Dr.Dyckman has crafted a warmly appealing set of children's folk tales,designed to assist children in dealing with their fears and anxieties. The companion introduction for parents provides a reassuring overview of the naturalistic process of hypnosis. A wonderful contribution to resources for children!"

"Eric, I found your Uncertainty CD just wonderful when I listened last evening. listening to you as we went on this little journey had me feeling delighted. Loosening and lightening up to the experience of both the preparation and the walk itself left me smiling throughout. It seemed so colorful and whimsical. The trance really worked. Plus I am reminded of how to conduct a trance session in the best possible way with a Technicolor barrage of detailed imagery and metaphor. Today I am still transformed."

"One very important pre-condition for overcoming test anxiety is the ability to relax before and during the test. Dr. Shirley McNeal’s Test Taking Mastery is a powerful tool for maximizing your concentration and enhancing your test performance.
In simple, easy-to-follow steps Dr. McNeal’s soothing melodic voice leads you to that “safe place” where you get in touch with your core strengths and marshal your inner energies. I recommend very highly Dr. McNeal’s Test Taking Mastery not only for its value in coping with test anxiety but for its overall life-enhancing benefits."

"Eric Greenleaf shows you how to turn anxiety about change and uncertainty into calm curiosity about what the future may bring, and a feeling of flexible preparedness for anything.
Like an athlete's warm up exercises, this trance builds your confidence that you will be able to respond to life's stressful events in your own way, using your own strengths."

"I eagerly listened to this CD to prepare myself for the greater financial and physical uncertainties of the retirement years. After listening for the first time, I found surprisingly that I walked easily, fluidly, effortlessly. Happy memories of past joys came to mind. I was detached from interactions that would ordinarily irritate me.
Though the CD is meant for a wide audience, it becomes personally meaningful because Eric includes so many different images that a person can select those most important to him or her. I look forward to the benefits that will come from listening to the CD many times."

"In a mellifluous voice, and brilliantly using stories, metaphor and music, Eric Greenleaf offers us a powerful way to prepare for life's unexpected events and challenges. Taking us on a journey where we equip ourselves with all that we will need along the way, we move first into a place of quiet, deep relaxation and then into deep trance. This trance state ushers us through a preparation of mind, body, and spirit, together with feelings and actions, to help us find our own unique way to deal with this journey in life.
The CD encourages us to expect unexpected events, tests, performances, and trials along the road, and to prepare ourselves to remain calm and curious, and intrigued rather than overwhelmed by life's surprises and challenges. Dr. Greenleaf invites us to explore which tools to take with us on this life-long excursion, and identifies the many rich resources we all already have inside of us.
I plan to recommend this important and unusual presentation to my clients, colleagues and friends. Rich in detail, imagery and feeling,it can only be helpful to all of us as we face the challenges and surprises of living in an increasingly complex world."

Preparation For Uncertainty - Erich Greenleaf
"Eric Greenleaf's inviting CD provides us with a clear guide for the most constant fact of everyday human life, its newness and unpredictability, and how we can best plan to face this newness calmly, flexibly, and successfully. His voice is that of a warm, supportive raconteur, informal yet systematic, colloquial yet well informed, urgent and directive without pushing, repetitive without monotony, like a drumbeat of varying tempos and emphases.
He encourages the listener, most of all, to have faith in self, faith that the will to succeed is nourished both by one's own style of preparation and by confidence that resourcefulness lies in periods of "time out," when one forgets the subject at hand, in order then to return to it with a renewed skill. I recommend this CD to anyone concerned with strengthening the sense of autonomy and competence."

"Dr. Neil Fiore's CD set on Productivity Engineering takes the user into a trance that can be easily used to free subconscious blocks to effective goal setting and optimal performance. It is general enough to be useful over the full range of life activities, including health improvement, athletic performance, self-esteem enhancement, and professional development.
In reviewing these CD's, I systematically went through the program and used each CD for my own personal and professional development. They are versatile enough to help users across a broad spectrum of experience, from a total neophyte in autogenic training to someone who is professionally familiar with it such as myself. Through the use of Dr.Fiore's CD's I became aware of how I have been subtly "hypnotized" over time into unproductive patterns of behavior that detract from leading a more full and productive life.
Since using these CD's I have been able to get into "the Zone of my optimal performance" both professionally (teaching, training, and performing psychotherapy) and personally (home improvement projects, playing music, being a husband and a father). I have succeeded in losing a couple of bad habits that I wasn't even aware of having. For instance, eating cookies to avoid fears associated with a difficult medical-legal report and watching sports on TV to avoid an internal conflict about what I think I should be doing.
I feel Dr. Fiore's hypnotic suggestions working subtly in the background of my conscious mind and I find myself more efficient and productive while at the same time more relaxed and confident in my work. I have patients for whom this program of productivity engineering will work well with the analytic therapy we are doing. Prescribing these CD's will greatly accelerate our work of deconstructing their self-defeating patterns. I whole-heartedly recommend Dr. Fiore's CD's for anyone interested in improving their productivity."

"John Dyckman's entrancing creations are likely to be helpful not only to children with common problems and the parents who are concerned about them, but to anyone who enjoys a good story. We all respond to folk tales: Dr. Dyckman has managed the trick of creating yarns which teach and comfort as they entertain. They also have the ability to bridge cultural differences: his account of "the caterpillar who didn't want to change" enchanted audiences when I was recently lecturing in Japan. These stories are not only well crafted, but beautifully delivered....I recommend them most highly!"

Review: Productivity Engineering -
A hypnosis program to help you improve your performance at work.
"Buy a hypnosis CD program? Will that really help me get more work done? Can it improve my work performance?"
I know, this is a little off the beaten path when compared to the usual courses and services I review. So first, to make real sense of this, let me tell you why I decided to go through and review this program.
I would like to be more productive, consistently
As someone who works from a home office, I am very aware of a huge variation in how productive I am. Some days and weeks I am extremely productive. My work performance is excellent. At the end of each day I'll sit back and wonder how I managed to get so much done.
