I really can't remember the last time that I was this impressed. My 11 year old son had trouble falling asleep for as long as I could remember. We tried everything over the years - lots of exercise, no screens, earlier bedtime, later bedtime, reading, melatonin, guided meditation, and everything else we could find, but nothing worked. He would lie in bed in the dark for hours just staring at the ceiling and his mind would refuse to stop.
He thought about different things as he grew up, like black holes, Bigfoot, and ghosts. He is a very bright and imaginative kid and one of his favorite teachers in his advanced academic program said that sometimes they see this type of sleep problem in creative kids like my son. So no matter how late my husband and I would go to bed (even well past midnight), our son would still be in his bed just lying there quietly awake.
When the subject of sleep came up with his pediatrician this year, the doctor recommended trying hypnosis. My son and I were definitely both a little skeptical, but we knew that something had to change. I'm so glad that we decided to give hypnosis a try at Hypnoconsult.
Probably thanks in part to his background as a middle school teacher, Mr. Horn was able to connect with my son quickly. He was hysterically funny and knew just how to talk and joke around to put him at ease and get him talking. I can not even really describe what Mr. Horn did or how on Earth it possibly worked as well and as quickly as it did. He helped my son to let go of the habits, thoughts, and mindset that were preventing him from falling asleep. Mr. Horn gave my son new ways to think about going to sleep and new tools to use. He improvised flawlessly and spontaneously built off of the ideas and things that my son said to best fit his unique personality. He made it all look so simple and easy and yet it made a huge impact. Mr. Horn was able to help my son make an enormous change that we had been seeking for years.
Our visit to Hypnoconsult has been a game changer for my son and for our whole family. He has fallen asleep easily, at a healthy bedtime, ever since meeting with Mr. Horn. I am tearing up now just thinking about it because it has improved his life so much already. He has been a more cheerful kid and with more energy. He has always been a great kid but I think I can see even more clearly now just how TIRED he was before. I have noticed so many little changes that make a huge difference -- I hear more "I love you's" and get more hugs and I'll catch him spontaneously playing nicely with his brother and sister without any prompting. His mood is better. It is such a relief to know that he is getting enough sleep at last.
I really love nothing more than being able to watch someone love what they do and be completely awesome at it. I am a Registered Nurse with a Masters in Social Work and I have seen so many professionals help people in so many different and amazing ways throughout my own career, but I don't know that I have ever been this blown away. Mr. Horn is a talented, skilled, and gifted professional. He is generous with his time and obviously truly cares about the people who come to work with him. I can not recommend Mr. Horn highly enough and I am so grateful for all of the years that he has put into his career so that he can help people like my son and make such a positive impact. read more
