I especially enjoyed learning about hypnosis and listening to the guided hypnosis meditations at the end of each of the 6 modules. Continuing to listen to the meditations and use the techniques I learned, have helped me to navigate through old stressful patterns. I am responding differently and friends and family have noticed the positive change. I have recommended this course to others and will continue to do so.

This course is so comprehensive, it covered all my questions about hypnosis and provided so much information about why I so easily become anxious and stressed. I have been practicing the tools presented here and came to realize how I have been holding on to anger and resentment. As I came to this realization, I have been able to let go of those old triggers and saw the connection to anxiety and stress. I feel like a new person!
