This has got to be one of the most rewarding and fun filled sessions I do with clients.

I am really pleased to take the time to share the amazing results of hypnotherapy treatment I received from Shaun Resnik to combat my chronic fear of spiders. For as long as I can remember, I have always been terrified of spiders. Certainly in my adult years I have had numerous experiences where I have been completely irrational when confronted by a spider, and unable to deal with the situation at all. I couldn’t even look at a spider on television or in a photo. My spider phobia stories had made me the subject of many jokes around the dinner table by my mates.. my over-reaction to spiders had them in fits of hysteria (Thank God I can laugh at myself!). But the problem was really quite serious and, as I live alone, I was just not able to manage on a day-to-day basis. I was constantly intoxicating my home with pesticides and was very anxious just to water the plants and would have to get help to clear the balcony or perform any task where a spider might pop up! It’s embarrassing … I’m a grown man, and have found myself standing in the middle of the street because there was a spider in my home!

I have never had hypnotherapy prior to this treatment, and was very unsure about it having any affect … but a spider ordeal at Christmas pushed me to take action. I decided on hypnotherapy as I expected the treatment would not involve actual exposure to spiders … but I really wasn’t sure it would work! The session was kind of strange and not really what I expected, however the outcome has been nothing short of miraculous. A real turn around in my reaction to spiders. And this was the result of one single session.

Recently I had an experience where a huntsman spider fell onto my face, then onto my chest and then fell on the floor. It was large enough for me to hear it actually hit the floor! Prior to therapy, my response would have been very different … probably screaming, running, hitting myself in case there were more spiders, and never walking that way again! Not at all the response of a grown man. This time however, I remained calm, stepped over the spider without killing it as I believe it was probably scared of me and didn’t deserve to die. Wow, what a difference in reaction! I am so relieved to be able to act rationally in these situations, now.

Shaun’s therapy was incredibly effective and has changed my life … in one session! Hardly a burden on my time or bank balance. If you are suffering from fears, anxieties, or phobia, give yourself a chance. Make an appointment to see Shaun. He is friendly, intuitive and very skilled. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

My daughter Zoe aged 8 had a terrible phobia of needles. After two exhausting attempts (of over an hour) of trying to give blood for a pathology test, she and I were both emotional wrecks. I have been seeing Shaun for my family’s health for years, so naturally I asked him if he could help with Zoe’s needle phobia. Besides, I had heard about the amazing work he had been doing with NLP and hypnosis for other people’s phobias. On the day Zoe saw Shaun, I sat in the waiting room and all I could here was laughing and giggling with lots of conversation between the two of them. After an hour, she came out laughing and giggling and she said Shaun and her had had a good chat. I asked her how she felt about needles and with a big cheeky smile on her face she said she felt good.

A couple weeks later we went to the doctor to have blood tests done for Zoe.. Here is a copy of the text I sent Shaun that day..

“Hi Shaun I just wanted to tell you how Zoe went with her blood test today. They had to take four vials of blood and you would not believe it we were in and out in 10 minutes. She remained calm and even giggled through it. It was absolutely fantastic, Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou, even Zoe could not believe how quick it was. It was a good experience for her. Thanks again you have really helped her”

I started seeing Shaun after a referral from a friend – she said her best friend had been cured of phobias by him and she felt he may be able to help me with anxiety issues. Shaun was amazing – he certainly did not disappoint. I was supported emotionally and nutritionally through a stressful divorce and came out the other end of it off all pharmaceutical medications, healthy and calm.

A number of years later I again visited Shaun for assistance with weight loss. Over a 3 month period I lost 12 kilos and for 2 years now have managed to keep it off and then some. His system was easy to follow and very effective and the maintenance of it has been easy. I have recommended him to many many friends and it seems to me that there is nothing he can’t fix. Most recently I visited him before a long plane trip I was anxious of undertaking – a long standing fear of flying – and was thrilled by the result. I was calm, relaxed and comfortable and almost gloating to my travel companion who ended up looking like he had the issue! Shaun’s great – I could not speak more highly of anyone. He’s constantly upgrading his skills and is committed to health and healing as a lifestyle. A genuine little miracle☺

Last year I went and visited Shaun and asked him to help me with two problems I’d been battling for 30 years. One was to give up smoking. The other my absolute fear of public speaking. Well I haven’t had a cigarette in nearly 1 YEAR! Also, whilst at my school 30 year reunion when they asked if someone would like to get up onstage and talk I suddenly found myself at the microphone. Now it probably wasn’t a very good speech and to be honest I don’t even remember what I said, but the fact that I did it in front of what was probably the audience subconsciously I feared the most, well its spinning me out a bit. Anyway if anyone out there in Melbourne wants to quit smoking or deal with some other things I’d be happy to pass on Shaun’s details. Note to self though, always better to have something prepared when public speaking.

Shaun helped me to manage my public speaking anxiety, not just with practical tips and tools but with very insightful perspective and his own unique methodology. He assessed my needs and confirmed a program for us to follow. I usually feel dread and negative feelings in the weeks leading up to a presentation, but at the end of the program, I had two presentations coming up at work and I felt like my normal, happy, positive self and even a little bit excited about presenting. It was so surreal and surprising to me to feel excited about presenting! I’m so glad I took the opportunity to work with Shaun on this phobia. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Shaun! I found him very down to earth with a wonderful sense of humour. I love these qualities in a person but it also makes it so much easier to be vulnerable, which you need to be to address any anxiety you have around an issue. Thank you so much, Shaun!
