I have the originals of the testimonials which follow, I guess they may be reassuring to people, as they are to me! Naturally, I have protected their identity.

Fear of Public Speaking

I was terrified of public speaking and it was stopping me from getting on in my job. I would avoid anything if it meant that I had to talk in front of more than one or two people. Liz taught me some techniques for managing my feelings prior to and during an important meeting where I was going to have to talk in front of twelve people. We also did a session of hypnotherapy which helped me to strengthen my calm and controlled inner voice. I use the techniques that Liz taught me almost daily, and I have since gone on to teach sessions and to chair meetings! I still get very nervous about doing this, but I am able to control my feelings. Now I do not actively avoid things but set myself small manageable targets which I know that I can achieve.

Having been a health professional, I think Liz has a lot to offer clients seeking hypnotherapy and NLP. I felt completely safe during the sessions, and know that my treatment was completely confidential. In addition, Liz has a quiet and gentle manner which is extremely reassuring in a situation where I felt very nervous and unsure of what to expect. I would thoroughly recommend her. Indeed, I already have!

Fear of flying

Dear Dr Horder

Just a few lines to let you know how I am doing after my treatment to   overcome the fear of flying.

Holiday time for me was a nightmare. 3-4 days before I was due to fly I would get stressed, my stomach would get knots in them and the anxiety would set in the whole of the journey was so frightening for me. Then I have to go through it all to get home.

After my visit to you things are much easier for me. I am calm and relaxed, I don’t have the anxiety anymore. I am so delighted to the change in my life and I thank you so much for the help you gave to me. I wish I had seen you a lot sooner.

Yours sincerely

JC

Self Confidence

Before I visited Liz I had low -   self esteem. I didn't enjoy my job because I felt I wasn't good enough. I was very low indeed.

Since visiting Liz my confidence has grown. I'm feeling good about myself and glad that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Liz helped me relax and take charge of my life in a positive way.

Smoking

I tried everything to stop smoking and it was only by chance that I came across a business card for Elizabeth Horder.

I looked at the card and thought "Hypnosis? That won't work for me". Well to cut to the short of it, here I am four years later having never touched a cigarette.

Thanks to Liz I am now a non smoker and I have never looked back....

My only regret is I should have done it years ago.

  Fear of Spiders.

My name is Jacqui. As a child I was terrified of spiders. When I got to teenage years, somehow it got a lot worse. I can remember going up stairs to the bathroom, not going in, but knowing there was one there! I would call my mum and say, "There's a furrie thing in there."

She would go in and shout to me "Where?"   I never could tell her as I had not been in, but she always found one.

I didn't like them to be killed, so poor mum had to take them outside.

Then Liz said she could help by hypnotising me. At first I thought "That is never going to work on me," as I was so scared of them. well, Liz did her thing and   believe of not, it has worked!

This is what happened one Sunday. My aunt was in hospital in   Birmingham. We live in Hereford. On the way to visit my aunt, mum and I stopped at a little nursery to buy some flowers. When I walked into the shop, there were two women standing on chairs, shouting and pointing. I thought they had been robbed!

No! when I finally got it, there was a big spider - big was the word - it was massive!

I picked up a jar and a piece of card from by the till, put the jar over the spider, put the card underneath and picked him up, walked over to my mum, showed her and said "Look at the size of that!" I took him outside and let him go.

When I went back, my mum said "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed what I have just seen."

So, you see, I am cured!

Self-Confidence during meetings

have been to another meeting and cannot belief how easy it was.   

Giving birth - this lady was in a foreign country with no ante natal classes and little in the way of analgesia, so she had to make do with a CD only.

Thanks to Doctor Horder I coped with labour and birth calmly and with focus.

She made me a personalised self-hypnosis CD so that I could practise putting myself in a “safe place” in a totally relaxed state.

For my labour I was induced but didn’t dilate for a long time. So I had many, many hours of strong contractions, lying down and hooked up to a drip. Thanks to the techniques Dr Horder taught me, I was able to totally relax, while still being alert to instructions. At each contraction I controlled my breathing, and, to a great extent, the pain. Between contractions, I went to my own “safe place” that I had created from the techniques taught to me by Dr Horder, to regain the much-needed strength that was still required.

I cannot imagine how the birth would have gone without Dr Horder’s help. I whole-heartedly recommend anybody who is fearing labour and birth – and indeed anybody who has fears of any kind which they would like to overcome – to contact Dr Horder.

 Note - I can produce a personal CD for you if you wish. Birth is such a personal process, it can feel nice to have you own name in the CD.

And, finally:

This wonderful lady had a tumour the size f a football in her abdomen, and was a bit concerned about it and the operation. After her operation she wrote to me:

Dear Liz.   I wanted to take the time to "Thank You" so much for your help prior to (and after) my recent operation.   I came to you in February 2007 as I had just found out I had a growth bigger than a football inside my tummy. Needless to say I was terrified at the prospect of the major surgery I had to face and could not sleep because of the worry. I was told I would only wait up to 3 weeks for surgery so came to you in a bit of a panic. As things turned out I ended up waiting 4 months for surgery but thanks to your help with the hypnosis and neurolinguistic programming I was able to control my fears and frustrations and by the time I went for surgery on 31st May 2007 I was calm and collected and actually looking forward to the operation which could only bring relief.   I listened to your CD regularly which helped more than you could ever know. I even took my personal stereo to the operating theatre with me and listened while I was given an epidural before surgery which was very uncomfortable but I managed to stay calm and follow the anaesthatists instructions. I then had a general anaesthetic as it was such major surgery.   I don't know how I would have gotten through the ordeal without your help. I am diabetic which can interfere with healing in some people but my wound which incidentally is 14 inches long, healed quickly and without any problems whatsoever, which I again put down to the help from listening to the post operation CD you gave me.   I would recommend hypnosis and neurolingustic programming to anyone who is having trouble coping with any aspect in their life. I have already sent a couple of my friends to you for help.   Thank you again Liz and keep up the good work.   Forever in your debt!!!   H B
