What a Client says about Hypnosis

Marcel Stam
Flagstaff Arizona

I am writing this letter to recommend the services of Charles Lyon, Hypno-Therapist. I was a client of Charles Lyon for several months. In these months, Charles performed Hypnosis to ease my Spasmodic Torticollis. While this is not a cure for my Spasmodic Torticollis, I did benefit from his sessions.
I was diagnosed with Spasmodic Torticollis. Spasmodic Torticollis is a form of Dystonia. Spasmodic Torticollis is a neurological condition in which a person has uncontrollable, continuous, movements/spasms in his/her neck muscles. Usually it is accompanied by a lot of pain. When I met Charles Lyon, I had had this condition for almost 2.5 years with a lot of extremely difficult & frustrating symptoms and pain.
In every session, the first thing Charles did was to make sure that I felt safe and was in a comfortable position. In the beginning, because of my health condition, it took me some time to get in a comfortable position. After a few sessions, I was able to find a comfortable position quicker and I did not have to change positions that often. I was also given several self Hypnosis CDs made directly for me and my symptoms to assist me in the relaxation, relief of my symptoms and pain.
Charles used a variety of breathing and relaxation exercises to relax the body and the mind. Charles used a variety of methods to hypnotize me as well. Charles reassured me that he would not, and was not able to do things, while I was under hypnosis, that I did not want to do. In each session Charles incorporated new ways to help me.
With these Hypno-Therapy sessions, I am able to sit and stand in a variety of ways with fewer neck spasms. I have less neck spasms when I walk as well. Besides that I have fewer neck spasms, I also have less pain. I am now actively involved in Martial Arts, daily walks, and exercise. I feel confident in my ability to keep my disease in check.
I have also written a book concerning what I have learned about Spasmodic Torticollis.
While I already had a positive outlook on life in general, Charles Lyon helped me to reinforce and strengthen my positive thoughts. From my experience with Charles Lyon, I would recommend Charles Lyon Clinical Hypno-Therapist to anybody.

Sincerely,

Marcel Stam
