Hypnosis
as
Anesthesia
"Duncan
Tooley
recently
had
surgical
repair of
an
abdominal
wall
hernia.
This
procedure
was
accomplished
under his
self-hypnosis
and only a
small
amount of
local
anesthesia.
This
operation
went very
well and
was no
different
than if he
had
received a
general
anesthetic.
He was
discharged
from the
hospital
within an
hour of
the end of
surgery. I
have never
experienced
this
before in
my 30
years of
surgery."

Hypnosis
for Pain
Relief
"I
have lived
with
chronic
pain from
non-diabetic
neuropathy
for almost
ten years.
During
this time
I have
spent
thousands
of dollars
on ever
type of
alternative
therapy
including
massage,
acupuncture,
chiropractic,
etc., to
relieve my
pain. My
pain
doctor had
been able
to relieve
some of
the pain
with high
doses of
narcotics
and I have
been able
to
function
semi-normally.
Recently,
however, I
have
become
increasingly
depressed
from the
amount of
drugs I
was on and
the pain I
had.
I
run a
chronic
pain group
and I had
invited
Duncan
to
come and
tell us
his story
of how he
used
self-
hypnosis
for
relief
from his
neuropathy.
Naturally
I was
very
skeptical
at first,
but he
was able
to
relieve
the pain
of
everyone
in our
group
with a
few
examples
of his
work and
I was
sold. I
signed up
for his
next
class on
self-hypnosi s
for
pain.
Once
I began
using the
short
routine
that he
teaches,
my pain
decreased
dramatically
and I
stopped
taking 6
Norco
(Codeine) tablets
daily.
I am now
progressing
on
eliminating
the other
narcotics
I am on. I
am feeling
wonderful
about
getting my
life
back!
My husband
and my
doctor are
both
amazed!
I tell
everyone I
meet to go
take the
class and
learn how
to help
yourself."

"I
am so
amazed at
how great
I
feel!
I am so
tickled
about how
well this
works! I
didn't use
any of my
pain
medicine
the next
day.
I am now
interested
in
learning
about
becoming
certified
in
hypnosis
to help
others.

"I
was
suffering
from a
back
injury
when I
called
Duncan to
request
over-the-phone
hypnosis.
I
definitely
felt
relief and
more
relaxed
after my
hypnosis
session.
Now I am
enabled to
manage my
pain and
anxiety
over my
herniated
disc."

"Thank
you
Duncan!
I was
suffering
immensely
from a
fused
ankle and
the 6
preceding
surgeries
when I
took your
class.
I was able
to stop
the pain
and the
ankle
healed
perfectly.
Your
healthy
motto
reminder
is still
on my
vanity
mirror and
I say it
everyday.
I feel
great
now!"

Hypnosis
for Sleep
Disorders
"I
approached
my first
session
with Dona
with
skepticism
that she
could help
with my
recurring
and
frightening
dream
problem.
Dona
put me at
ease
immediately.
She walked
me through
different
stages of
my life,
taking me
back to a
forgotten
very
emotional
moment.
Dona
guided me
through
analyzing
the event,
and
coached me
with
coping
skills to
put this
event
behind me.
My
disturbing
dreams
have
ceased!
Now I am a
convinced
believer
in the
power of
hypnosis
and Dona's
skill at
applying
it."
-- Shelton
Bourgeois,
computer
scientist
& math
teacher.
"A
good
night's
sleep is
priceless!
With Dona
as my
guide, I
was about
to win my
long
battle
with
insomnia.
First, we
had a
successful
session in
Dona's
office.
I had a
delightful
experience,
but the
goal was
not an
afternoon
nap.
Dona made
a CD so I
could have
her voice
in my ears
as I lay
in my own
bed at
night.
For a few
weeks
Dona's CD
was my
companion
as I
entered
into a
restful
night's
sleep.
Then, I
thought, I
can do
this on my
own! Now I
may have
an
occasional
bad night,
but who
doesn't?
I AM NO
LONGER AN
INSOMNIAC!
Thank you,
Dona!"

Hypnosis
for
Attitude
Change
"I
didn’t
know
anything
about
hypnotherapy
when I
first met
with Dona.
Her
technique
proved to
me that it
is a very
natural
and a
powerful
tool.
There was
no mystery
in the
process of
relaxation
and trance
work. I
remember
every
step.
The
process
changed my
attitude
to
thinking
positively
and
spiritually
about
almost
everything.
The
lasting
effect on
my
thinking
and
behavior
is ongoing
and
energizing!
Dona’s
method is
gentle and
affirming,
a mark of
a gifted
therapist."

Hypnosis
for
Attracting
Whatever
YOU Want
"I
was
actually a
little
skeptical
going into
Duncan’s
self-hypnosis
class for
"Whatever I
Wanted,"
but that
quickly
changed as
he guided
me down to
access my
subconscious
mind. I
had
already
been
working on
using my
mind to
attract
what I
wanted,
but
something
was
missing.
For me,
self-hypnosis
become the
missing
link to
bridge
information
in my
logical
mind over
to my
emotional
mind. My
wife
wanted me
to teach
her what I
had
learned,
so I
did. She feels
that it
keeps her
mind clear
and
focused
during the
hectic
work day.
We both
regularly
practice
the
self-hypnosis
techniques
together
in order
to change
habits in
all areas
of our
lives:
career,
relations
and even
dietary
habits. It
works
great and
we feel
great!
"

"The
session
with
Duncan
really
opened up
for me
awareness
of my
potential
powers
that I had
not been
using."
-
Theresa
Figuroa
"I
was in a
real
emotional
state, not
feeling
good about
myself or
my
future.
Duncan's
hypnosis
has helped
me learn
to get
through
each day
with more
stability
and a
positive
outlook."

Hypnosis
for
Getting
Organized
and
Focused
"I
attended
Duncan
’s
class
seeking a
remedy to
my life
long
challenge
with time
management
and
procrastination.
For years
I lived
with the
undue
pressure
of
leaving
everything
until the
last
minute,
often
sacrificing
quality
because
of
inadequate
time and
preparation.
As a
business
consultant,
time is
money,
and time
management
is
crucial
to
success.
Duncan
’s
self
hypnosis
class was
remarkable!
His
simple,
easy to
use
techniques
have
helped me
identify
harmful
tendencies
and
quickly
remedy
them.
The
affirmations
he
provides
are a
wonderful
tool I
use as a
daily
reminder
to stay
on the
right
track.
Over
the years
I have
invested
in time
management
seminars,
tools and
tips.
Duncan’s
class was
by far the
most
effective,
and the
most
enjoyable!
Thanks to
his
expertise,
I now
spend my
time more
productively,
and I have
more time
for the
people and
activities
that
matter in
my life!"
