COVID-19

| One week after the session

I am 65 years old, asthmatic, and a breast-cancer survivor. Normally, I effortlessly see the glass half-full. And then came Corona.

Suddenly all my friends kept bringing up my less-than-perfect lungs, and kept warning me that I had better take very good care of myself. At first, I thought they were just concerned for my health. As I became more and more frustrated, I realized that maybe this made them feel a little less insecure about themselves - because surely this dreadful flu would 'get me' before it 'got them'?! I tried to rationalize, but felt myself slowly slip into frustration and feelings of hopelessness. I desperately needed to feel like I had as much chance of survival as anybody else........and I just felt more and more over-whelmed!

My daughter suggested I chat to Leandra. I had not heard of RTT before and didn't have much experience with hypnosis. I was reluctant to go out, and because of all those persistent warnings from all my friends, I was already practicing social distancing. Leandra assured me that we could do everything on video-call. So we set up a time and 'met' over the air-waves! We chatted easily and for quite some time! - Leandra is very easy to talk to - and then we did the hypnosis. That was as easy as chatting - with maybe just some minds-eye-pictures added to the conversation.

After the session, I felt like nothing unusual had happened - because, for me, the magic only started happening a little later. I became aware of a trance-like lightness - that was very pleasant and relaxing. My vocabulary started changing from 'maybe' and 'if' - to 'I will' and 'I definitely can". I started asking myself 'is this helpful' - and if the answer was negative, I found it easy let go, or to stop, and change an upsetting conversation. I felt a weight lift and my good humor return. Leandra made some recordings that I could listen to - I do so on a daily basis - and this is really helpful in staying strong and positive. I felt all the scary pictures we see every day - that I have so stubbornly been holding in my mind - slowly fade away. For that, I am so very thankful!

So - in a very short time, I have found confidence and clarity. I have A Plan. I have new thoughts and words and patterns - and I have Leandra - whom I can turn to as we go into lockdown. I have a part to play, and I have a way forward.

Leandra has been in contact many times - following up on my progress and making plenty of suggestions for me to keep going. With her on-going support, I know there is a safety-blanket, should I need one!

In just over a week, I feel a different person.

Leandra, you have no idea how much I appreciate what you have done for me.

Thank you.
