Written Praises

" ...The Xray showed ... two of my spinal discs were ... missing... I needed spinal surgery, spinal fusion with a bone graft, ... Coming out of the anesthesia ... The nurses seemed to be under a fair amount of “hurry stress.”   One of them said to me, “I’m going as quick as I can to get you some pain relief.  It will just be a moment.” I was puzzled.  “What?” “Just one second, Honey, I’m on it.” “On what?” “On your shot, Honey.  I know how bad it hurts.” “Um, what?” “This surgery, Honey.” She said, “I’ve seen a lot of them, and I know what it’s like.   It’ll  just be a second, now.” “I’m fine.” That brought a total gaping stare.   “You’re fine? Fine???” “Yes, I’m fine.”   Since that seemed incredible to her, I told her about the hypnosis.  She seemed shocked and offered me the narcotics two more times before leaving, muttering something about, “I never thought I’d see it.   Something new for my career!” ..."

“I am coming up on my 4 year anniversary of quitting smoking, and subsequently, drinking alcohol. As I look back, I can see the changes in my life since I first decided to see what Svenson Hypnosis had to offer, smoking cessation only being the tip of the iceberg. One of the most powerful tools Sharon gave me in our hypnosis sessions was the process of changing my story to change my life.   When I would tell the story of  my life, it was from a victim’s perspective and that is a negative place to be.   She dared me to change and stuck with me while I fought the process. She dared me to say, ‘what if?’ The ‘what if’ has turned in to a Master Degree and a teaching job working with middle school students.   I know my positive expectations and perspective rubs off on my students and continues to spread Sharon’s message along with a few Sharonisms I use regularly. Every corner of my life has been improved and keeps getting better … life is a journey and we are never done.”

"… I’m so excited right now, I just got done working out for 35 minutes at the gym taking a dance class. The class is an hour- long but I need to pace myself. I can’t THANK YOU enough for changing my life and creating a better living environment in my head. (smile) You truly are a healer! THANK YOU! … Thanks again!"

 "… I cannot adequately express my gratitude and blessings, in which meeting and working with you has brought to me. Your spirit and dedication is remarkable, humble, and peacefully led. I am excited for your mentor-ship and help. It means more than, again, I can express. May you be blessed sevenfold! I am excited... Thank you so much."

"It’s been ... 4 years since I attended my first session.  I came to see you hoping you could help me stop smoking.  I was one of those people who “loved” to smoke.  I thought it made me feel relaxed and comforted.  Over time, the social stigma made it more and more uncomfortable. Although skeptical, I had high expectations ...  I wanted to ...  live comfortably with other smokers...  I asked ... you include a tolerance for smoke in my hypnosis session.  I was certain the session was unsuccessful.  There was no deep trance or blackout time ...  It just felt like the little naps we used to take in kindergarten.   Relaxed and cuddled.  I couldn’t believe that I had no desire for a smoke ... after the first session.  I sat on the porch enjoying the evening with my guy.  He lit up and I asked for a puff.  That was the last cigarette puff I have ever taken. I am “not a smoker”.  Unlike in past experiences, trying to quit, I never crave a cigarette or dream of one. I could not help but return to your group sessions to see what else I could gain.  The beautiful tools, like 'imagining good things' ... 'being mindful' ... 'letting your thoughts be ok', and the 'concepts of time ... pure love and eternity', have worked to enhance other positive influences in my life. The elevation of a feeling of love and appreciation of life coincides so well with my religious practice.  My prayer and religious traditions somehow have a higher level of meaning to me.  Even though I have been practicing and studying my religion all my life.  Meditation is more meaningful and fruitful. There has been more than one occasion where I was anxious about an outcome.  For instance, a business meeting, where I anticipated trouble.  As part of my preparation for the meeting, I incorporated the tools you have given me.  My response to the situation was positive, I was able to listen more carefully, relax and provide a solution.  Recently, someone I love, called in a panic about their worries.  His closing remarks were, “Talking to you has made me feel at peace, calm and confident in my way forward.”   Way to go Sharon!  You have paid it forward through the lessons you have taught to me. Joyfully, Kathy”

"I talked to ‘my friend’ .. she has been pain-free  since her session- she is...  thrilled- ..., so am I! ... "
