I felt very comfortable with Kathleen, she is really warm and inviting and set me at ease right away. I liked how she explained everything before we started, as this was my first experience with hypnosis -- or hypnotherapy. Basically Kathleen used guided relaxation (and probably a bunch of other techniques I wasn't even aware of) to help me get into a state of intense concentration, and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness.
The concentration we achieved together was so strong it totally blocked out anything else going on around, including any distracting thoughts. It was a much more powerful concentration then I typically am able to achieve when meditating. Then Kathleen guided my focus / attention on a couple specific thoughts / tasks that we outlined at the beginning in our discussion. My experience with Kathleen enabled me to perceive some things differently and gain insight that was subtle and previously drowned out by my conscious mind.
I'm a pretty happy, positive person in general, and this experience made me feel even lighter and happier with myself. I could totally see how someone who was stressed or had a lot of on-going anxiety could really benefit from Kathleen's trained guidance towards peace.
Highly recommended!
