Hypnosis for unleashing monster problems

Matt, For the last two years, I have been working hard on my inner-self…I am so glad my path was going through your way. You are very powerful, and very nice. You came into my life in a perfect moment to help me unleash all those tiny little things that I had no clue of but were actually huge, monster problems.”

Hypnosis for sports

“...I must admit I feel like a new person; rejuvenation. I just want to say thank you for the experience. It was the most fearful and best thing I have ever done for my life. It was definitely worth it. Already with my first week of training I can feel a difference. I am more energized and sustain stamina for longer periods... regardless of football my life has definitely been changed, understood and improved. Take care... and may God bless you always! Until the next time...." -

Hypnosis for alcohol/drug/smoking addiction, and Eczema

When I went to see Matt, I had a few things ailing me:

Number one being that I felt suicidal and crazy. Number two being that my body was covered in Eczema that felt someone was burning with an iron no matter how I moved. Number three, I had been on a drug/alcohol binger for about ten years and it was hitting a plateau at this point. Truly, overdose was going to be my future if I didn't seek help now.

Matt QUICKLY got to the root causes of why I felt so crazy... to the root problem of everything ailing me really. At the time I didn't know how deeply and profoundly it had affected me. Immediatley, I just felt better. I couldn't concretely notice all the changes. When I did start living my life again.. I noticed the real me start coming out. I have no desire to use alcohol, I work hard, I enjoy life... I consider myself healthy... I was able to drop all my old friends and social triggers.. It's hard to imagine that I ever chose to associate with those people at all. The most satisfactory thing for me is being able to Just Say No and to tell people I'm not hanging out with them and why without feeling guilty about it. I feel like I am in my own drug-free reality today. In fact I feel so good about life today that it's insane in my head to think I ever was really that messed up.

A couple months after Matt worked with me, I noticed something as well... My eczema was nearly completely gone except for two little spots on my feet which aren't really noticable. A far cry from the burning I had experienced nearly my entire life. Most doctors told me this was only treatable and to live with it... basically, I just laugh now.. but feel sorry for so many others that have to suffer with this pain because they haven't been able to experience the healing power of the human mind.

Before I went to Matt, I was unemployed. More correctly I would have described the old me as "unemployable": A Terrible Attitude, A Terrible Outlook, and just Terrible. I have experienced an utter paradigm shift. My brain and body are functioning at near optimum and I'm able to work 40 hours a week, work on other projects, go to the gym daily, read, and pursue my hobbies of computers and music while having energy left over to dream up new options. Oh, and I quit smoking cigarettes. I had smoked 1-2.5 packs a day for ten years.

I bet Matt couldn't even see me typing something like this when I first went into his office, because I could barely talk.. I just wanted to cry.

I've taken all kinds of drugs to try to find the help I needed and this was the answer. No paxil, No prozac, No lithium, none of that. This was it for me.

I'm sure there's tons of other little changes and tweaks I could talk about here and there, however for now I'll just work on being me without worrying about "problems" which now seem like minor inconvienences :)

Thanks Matt! I would easily recommend you (and do) to anyone who has serious problems and wants to know how to heal and live life again.

Best Regards,
Craig Avery,

Hypnosis for Hives

For the past five months I had been suffering with acute hives, which are bright red raised welts all over my body. My eyes and lips would also swell up and deform my face.The welts were extemely uncomfortable and itchy. This was all due to stress. In my search to get well, I made appointments with a dermatologist, an internist, an allergist, and an iridologist. Hundreds of dollars later, I was still suffering. I then read that hypnotherapy has been known to help with hives. I made an appointment with Matt Sison, who came highly recommended. After seeing Matt, I immediately saw a difference. The hives and swelling disappeared, and I don't ever expect them to come back. Matt Sison is a God send. Thank you so much Matt!

Hypnosis for Drug abuse, Alcoholism and Cancer

I had the fortunate experience in late December 2003 to go through hypnotherapy in Los Angeles with Matt Sison. Matt is a protégé of the Steven Parkhill philosophy, and related practice. I didn’t really know anything about the program, and intentionally did not read “Answer Cancer” (as recommended) before the work began. Historically speaking, I have run a lot of my life as a follower of the likes of Houdini…an escape artist extraordinaire. I can attest to several instances that this trait had saved me from peril and been the reason I am alive to write this letter now. Since I really wanted to be successful in the experience of hypnosis I felt reading Parkhills book first, would set up a potential escape path that I could use if things got to personal.

...My situation at the time was excessive drinking, drug abuse, heavy smoking, chronic health problems and an overall desire to maintain a direct course to disaster and ultimately death. This wasn’t outwardly apparent to me at the time as I was having “too much fun” to notice my proximity to the end of my life.

The Parkhill concept made sense due to the fact that one of my problems was a very recent event with cancer, and by the sound of Stephens book, seemed like a natural.

This event was my forth with cancer and I was in a desperate position to charge up my mental batteries to overcome my nemesis again. I had become very good over the last 12 years, skirting death from this lethal foe, a 5 star General in the game of deception and survival. The problem for me was that I spent all my time on the battlefield and no time getting any real healing along the way. This can work for a while, but understanding the incredible amount of energy required to survive is something only personal experience can put into perspective.

The hypnosis therapy (with Matt Sison) was the most productive event I have ever experienced since it put me in touch with the biggest problem in my life and that problem was me.

The work took me back to the times and places in my past that supported what my life’s script would ultimately play out as. The events that were experienced were neither good nor bad; it was my choice to manifest them any way I chose.

The people and events of greatest significance to me were revisited as an adult and reconsidered from a different perspective. The events were replayed by my subconscious and viewed over, with the understanding that no real harm was ever intended and the participants in the events were doing the best they could at the time.

I was able to look directly into the eyes of these people at the end, and comprehend the pain that they were carrying through their life, and understood that they loved me. Once I forgave these people, the regression started to be successful.

The most intense forgiveness came as I faced myself, head on and looked me right in the eyes and forgave myself for all the painful things that I done to Michael for 44 years. We both agreed that, if you want to fail at something, pick suicide…it’s the safest thing for everybody involved.

Since that personal journey ended, the rest of my life began. I haven’t had a drink, actually sent my drugs into the sky in a homemade rocket that exploded on Christmas Eve, and quit smoking. More importantly than quitting things I started some new habits. Habits like really listening to people, going to church, expressing love, and taking care of myself. ,

Hypnosis for Clearing “years of shattered” events

Matt Sison is simply the best there is.

I have had the privilege of experiencing his hypnosis services and of observing his work. He is a True Genius.

Matt was able to move me through years of shattered events. Within four sessions I was able, under his guidance, to make sense of many of the unfinished events of my life. As a result of working with Matt, I am able to move through life with Grace, and to see the good in all events that come. I am able to feel my feelings without extremes, which was not possible before. What a blessing!

As a Hypnotherapist: Wow!

After watching Matt in action, I had to simplify my own program (drastically). I learned that less is more, and that when the client does the work, the results are lasting. What a concept!

Matt, you inspire me.

All my love and respect,

Terri

Hypnosis for Anxiety and Panic Attacks

When I first decided to see Matt Sison for hypnotherapy it was because I was unable to function normally in my life anymore. I was diagnosed with Anxiety Disorder a few years back and had been given Paxil which I took for about two years. I decided I no longer wanted to be a slave to the medication and when I stopped taking it the anxiety sky rocketed into acute panic attacks. I was in a constant state of unbridled panic. I was terrified to go outside because the amount of air out there was overwhelming. I broke into tears if the phone rang, afraid that it might be someone asking me a question I couldn't answer. I became terrified and suddenly felt as though I couldn't breathe if I thought that I would be late somewhere even by minutes. I awoke every morning with heart palpitations and found I had to leap from bed only to pace for an hour or two just to calm down enough to think. It happened with or without reason. That's when a friend told me to try hypnotherapy. Within the first month with Matt I was able to breathe normally again; go to work without breaking into tears; wake up without feeling as though I was having a heart attack. I no longer have panic attacks! Not only do I feel fantastic, I am a new person now. I have new hope for many things in life and can see the magic in my world again thanks to Matt and his loving dedication to helping me.

Hypnosis for Stop Smoking

Dear Matt, I've always wanted the desire to smoke to go away. I don't want to have to distract myself or think my way out of it. I don't want the idea to come up in the first place 'cause I'm not the type to deny myself what I want no matter how bad I know it is for me....each time a craving has come up since my hypnosis sessions with you, I'm right there at the beginning when I still had a choice. I don't have to think about it, I'm just there, and the desire isn't. For the first time in 25 years I actually feel like a non smoker.
Thanks,

Hypnosis for Health issues

I had chronic Urinary Tract Infections for two years when I met Matt. I was seeing an acupuncturist and had even undergone surgery to remove scar tissue from the repeated infections. After a few sessions what had been a never-ending problem seemed to go away without effort. It hasn't returned since. What I value about those hypnosis sessions the most, however, was that they forced me to face parts of myself I had been running away from and allowed me to finally release them. I feel like I am really living for the first time in years, maybe for the first time in my life. Thank you.

Anxiety and panic was why I went to see Matt. Matt was very easy going and understanding. At no time ever did I ever feel weird or out of control. Not only was he able to allow me to realize things about my past that were creating certain types of anxiety, but Matt was able to help me release the past issues and move on. Every time I left his office I always felt calmer and wiser about my inner self. I know he has helped me in ways no one else could understand. I am forever grateful to Matt Sison.

Hypnosis for well being

I flew from Japan to L.A. to have a series of four hypnotherapy
sessions with Matt Sison. It was phenomenal experiencing his work and
well worth the travel to get there. My practice has been greatly
enriched, and my overall wellbeing has been enhanced as a result of
these sessions.

Matt's approach is as powerful as it is flexible. I was quite impressed
by how easily the sessions flowed with whatever came up--no
preconceptions of what should be, just working with what is there.

His comprehensive approach to hypnotherapy includes working with body
sensations, connecting with feelings, and physically releasing negative
emotions from the body. Then assisting the client in finding the good
in their past experiences, enabling a deep and lasting healing.

I wholeheartedly recommend Matt Sison and his hypnotherapy for anyone
wanting to make significant positive life changes.

Warm regards,
Erik Bragg

Hypnosis for removing “self-recriminations:

Matt, The time flew by… I gained deeper and deeper levels of relaxation and understanding. I am using the process (7th Path Self-Hypnosis) in the evenings before I go to sleep and in the morning as I first awake. The process flows so naturally…the path took away my self-recriminations. I cannot thank you enough for the seminar. I think you could call it "gentle-dynamite".

Hypnosis for Hemmorhoids

4/04

The following is a recount of the happenings that have brought me to a better understanding of the signals that pain creates. To begin the story, let me go back to December 2003. I spent a week in Southern California during which time I visited Matt Sison five times. These hypnotherapy sessions successfully uncovered unresolved issues dating further back than I can even explain. I returned to Michigan feeling a certain sense of clarity and feeling a profound sense of the healing that had begun.

But the healing had just begun. At the end of January 2004, I experienced the most excruciating pain that I had ever felt. It was the week before Matt was to see me in Michigan for a follow up to our work in California, and it was almost like my body was preparing for or reacting to his return. I talked with Matt on the phone, and he tried to coach me through recognizing that this pain was really emotion that had not yet been released, and while logic told me he was right, the rest of me wasn’t buying it. My pain was caused by hemorrhoids; so severe that even Darvocet and Vicodin didn’t offer any relief. Finally, at the prompting of a friend, I visited a clinic where I was given suppositories containing steroids and instructed to see a surgeon if I did not get relief. I decided to tough it out until Matt’s visit.

During our hypnosis sessions here in Michigan, we chiseled through the barriers that prevented me from facing the emotions that were trapped inside me and that were the root of my pain. I am happy to report that after these hypnosis sessions, I experienced a complete and full recovery with no recurrence of the problem...

Matt, thank you for everything. You’ve been a Godsend.

T.M.

As of July, 05,she has had no occurrence of the pain and further went on to report that even with some emotional obstacles in her personal life, she is more than happy and content and is moving forward with all her goals.

Though I had to miss it, all the feedback I heard was it was a great event and everyone who attended really enjoyed the experience and got a lot of knowledge from it. A packed house in the beautiful new Hypnosis offices of Patty and Maria up in Benicia, got to learn 7th Path Self Hypnosis, EFT, and as a special added bonus by Matt, got to watch a live age regression
and forgiveness session. HOW COOL IS THAT??? ... It is almost a week later and today I got phone calls from people talking about the seminar.”
