Every now and then, a story comes along that truly shows the power of change. One of my clients, a remarkable woman living with multiple long-term health conditions, generously shared her journey to inspire others. Her courage and results speak volumes — and I’m honoured to share her experience here.
A Life Defined by Pain and Setbacks
For more than 10 years, she had never known a day without pain. Living with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia, her daily life was already challenging. On top of this, within the space of just two years, she faced a haemorrhage, underwent surgery to remove a tumour, and then needed further surgery again.
Then came another terrifying ordeal. One evening, she suddenly found herself unable to move or speak. Having watched her grandmother suffer strokes, she feared the worst. Thankfully, her mother was nearby and able to call an ambulance.
The following morning, things took a dramatic turn. She was hit by violent seizures that shook her whole body, followed by uncontrollable shouting and movements that doctors compared to a rare form of Tourette’s. At one point, she was even karate-chopping through the air in between seizures — moments she later described with a sense of humour as feeling like a “Ninja Warrior.”
For days in hospital, these unpredictable seizures continued. Even after discharge, they persisted — up to ten times a day. She lost her independence, her driving licence, and her sense of freedom. Relying on others and being unable to be left alone left her feeling trapped and frustrated.
A Turning Point
After nearly a year of living with these frightening episodes, she decided she needed to try something different. That decision led her to me.
She says:
“This is the best decision I have ever made. He made me view my life very differently. He gave me the positivity and confidence to do new things. He has helped me to control my anxiety and, as I am writing this, I am touching every piece of wood in sight — but I have not had any seizures since seeing Neil.”
Real Progress, Real Results
Not only has she been seizure-free since starting hypnotherapy sessions, but she has also continued to reduce her reliance on pain medication. For someone who had spent over a decade in daily pain, this transformation is nothing short of remarkable.
Her story is a powerful reminder that change is possible, even after years of struggle.
