Editorial Reviews

Review

It is the opinion of this publisher that this hypnosis audio product contains extremely professional, high quality hypnotherapy. Straight and to the point, there is nothing sugar coated or flowery about the hypnotic process used on this recording. This is what you would get if you were to walk into the private office of Janet Decker, C.Ht. and sit down in her chair for a one on one hypnotherapy session. This is hypnosis therapy at its best! The publisher also likes the fact that this hypnosis audio product is music free. We recognize that not everyone likes the same type of music. So rather than presume what the purchaser of this audio product will enjoy as background music, Janet Decker, C.Ht. gives the purchaser/listener the freedom of choice. All he or she has to do, if they so choose, is incorporate a separate sound source and they can listen to music from their own music library while experiencing the very pleasant and relaxing state of hypnosis. It is our understanding that this hypnosis audio recording was created in such a way as to effectively induce the hypnotic state into no less than 90% of the listeners. We do realize that 100% would be better however this is not realistic as there is nothing that works for everyone. This Audio CD product is revised in that the artwork and packaging is new and now includes bonus printed material. The booklet, Hypnosis, What You Should Know , is included with each CD. This book is packed with information about hypnosis and gives you complete detailed instructions on how to use/listen the recording in order to get the most from it. Disclaimer: This hypnotic audio product is not intended to be used as a substitute for medical or psychiatric care. --Publisher

When I first decided to record hypnotherapy audio products I had to consider the fact that these recordings would be bought and used by many, hopefully thousands, of people. I realized, all to well, that it could be difficult to create one hypnotherapy format that would work for, essentially, everyone. I had to take into consideration the following; that each and every person who listens to my recordings will have their own unique, very distinctive, mental, spiritual, emotional and physical characteristics. Also, every individual would be experiencing the problem, for which the product was created to address, in varying degrees. For example, take 10 people who have difficulty sleeping and it is likely that each one of them will be experiencing something slightly different as relates to the actual sleep difficulty. Furthermore, not all hypnotic techniques work for everyone. For this rather mammoth undertaking I drew upon my many years in private practice as a hypnotherapist and hundreds of case studies, which I conducted. The resulting, Hypnotic Empowerment Series, of audio products, there are 10 in all, are the composite of a 23 year exploration of what does and does not work for most people where hypnosis and hypnotherapy are concerned. It is my fervent desire to facilitate healing, and engender a sense of empowerment to all who purchase and listen to my audio products. I have created the Hypnotic Empowerment Series of audio products with that in mind. --Author

3.0 out of 5 stars A note of caution . . ., August 18, 2009

Katy Kennedy "girl about town" (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hypnosis to Help You Sleep Deeply (Hypnotic Empowerment Series for Self-Awakening) (Audio CD)

I was looking for a hypnosis CD to help ease my sleepless nights, and I chose this one based solely on its high ratings on Amazon. In general, I feel like I'm pretty susceptible to hypnosis. If someone talks to me in soothing tones about floating blue orbs that emanate magical auras of sedation, I'm out like a light.

That said, I couldn't take more than five minutes of this woman without feeling agitated and unpleasantly alert. Why? I couldn't even focus on what she was actually saying because her voice was so abrasive. I mean, it's not a terrible voice for someone delivering a business presentation, but it's not the kind of voice that has any business hypnotizing a person to sleep.

I can't pinpoint the exact quality of her speech that makes it so unpleasant to me. It's not very gentle, for one thing. For another, she doesn't have that metrical lilt that most professional hypnotists use, the kind that lets you fall effortlessly under the spell of its rhythm. And third, while I'm not usually bothered by this, I suspect my distaste for her voice may have something to do with how distracting I found her slight regional accent.

So I'll caveat my criticism with a personal disclosure, which is that I grew up in the South, and my ears are particularly attuned to the vaguest hint of a Northern accent. It could be entirely possible (and probably is, based on the many high reviews) that most others aren't as sensitive to that accent and wouldn't find this woman's voice as distracting as I did.

But if, like me, you prefer a more neutral and calming voice to bid you adieu as you depart for dreamland, you might want to keep searching for a different hypnotist.

I stumbled across this gem in my maddening search to sleep more deeply and drown out my noisy neighbors. I have been using these CDs for 2 weeks and I can already see the results. I am sleeping more deeply and can't wait to see how much more I will progress. I'm not at that point of "perfection" or completely getting all of its benefits but that's only because this is just the end of 2 weeks. I am slowly working my way up to a full 8 hrs. Ms. Decker's suggestions are great for getting a racing mind to relax and focus on positive affirmations. I've suffered from anxiety and insomnia for years but now after only 2 weeks, I am "relaxing & feeling comfort" not only at night but during the day as well. I even find myself repeating her affirmations during stressful situations-and it really works! I finally feel like someone has given me the keys to turn the switch of my racing, anxious mind to "off" and get some much needed deep sleep. I have noisy neighbors and it is helping me to remain in my own world of nirvana despite what is going on around me. Priceless! Oh and the best part of all is that she was even kind enough to help me with further questions I had on how to improve my specific problems. I can't say thank you enough!!

Well I have used this product many times without any succes. My opinion is too much time is spent warning the user, and not enough time is given to the hypnotic session. Consequently, there has been no change in my ability to fall asleep. I feel cheated.
