Here are some of the things clients are saying about their experience at Skipnotherapy
I started seeing Skip for PTSD, depression, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and trust issues. I had tried many different things throughout the years, but nothing worked. A couple of friends recommended Skip, so I researched him. I researched what he claimed, I thought about it and finally I reached out. That scared me to no end, but I persevered and went to see him. Let me tell you, my walls were thick steel surrounded by concrete! I am a survivor of not one, but 3 monsters. Nobody was getting past me, no matter how much I liked you. You were not getting close enough to hurt me. That’s great for self protection, but it cuts you off from love, happiness, confidence, joy, excitement of life, self-love, love of others, forgiveness, outlook, and that weird but absolutely great feeling when you can genuinely smile from the heart and know you mean it. SKIP GAVE ME ALL OF THAT!! Wasn’t easy – he had to continually regain my trust every time I saw him, until one day I went in and told him “I trust you completely.” Still, it wasn’t easy. Poor guy had to work hard with me. I had even told him that he was my last resort, and if this didn’t work I was done. He never gave up on me. He was always kind and compassionate. He didn’t let me get clingy, he taught me to stand on my own two feet and he taught me I was worth it. Skip 100% percent knows his stuff. He’s 100% trustworthy. He’s 100% real. Hey Skip, that damned strange thing happening with my face won’t go away. What’d you call it? Oh yeah, a smile!!

Skip, thank you so much for the help. I feel like a new person. I feel so much better. My face has dramatically improved. I feel some swelling but nothing like the normal trigeminal neuralgia. You know Skip, there is literally only one medication to help ease the pain of this affliction and it doesn’t work for me and I can’t take medications because I have bad reactions. These sessions with you are the only thing that has subsided the pain, which I have had for years. I believe I am in much more control of my anxiety too. It’s weird waking up feeling good each day and at times I’m apprehensive because I never want to feel like I did again, ever. So, I am taking your recordings very seriously. You have changed Joe’s life, my life and our lives together. We can both enjoy every moment as we should.

Skip, you helped me deal with anxiety a few years ago, especially in connection with flying. Since then I’ve flown to Australia, Buenos Aires, Ecuador, China and many domestic destinations. I’ve never again had a panic attack while flying or even come close. I attribute that to you, and I just wanted to let you know and to say thank you. You have played a big part in allowing me to see the world without fear. I have also shared my hypnotherapy success with others who deal with phobias or anxiety, suggesting that they try it as an alternative to drugs or to avoiding certain situations. I hope someone has tried it and found relief.

Hi Skip, I had a great trip to New York with NO panic attacks, panic sensations or anxiety. It was amazing and I can’t thank you enough, it really would not have been possible without you. I have been singing your praises to all.

Skip, I am unable to express to you how thankful I am for your services — the difference is unbelievable. My heart is filled with ambition and passion to become my best version. You were able to quickly remove my darkness, a darkness that I never thought still existed and affected me so profoundly. I am so grateful for having met you for my hypnotherapy experience. I will most certainly recommend Skipnotherapy and share my experience with others!

This is an almost one-year-later update for me. Skip, you changed my life! I’m happy and free of my previous demons. When I think of my parents now, it’s with gratitude for their love and the many things they did right for me. With sincere thanks and gratitude! (From a client who was experiencing long-held animosity toward her parents for trauma they caused her)

Thank you Skip, I am deeply grateful for your help. I’m still kind of in awe at how well this works and love the changes that have already occurred in just two sessions. You are truly gifted at your profession.

Hi Skip, I hope all is well with you!!! I wanted to just give you an update on how I’m doing. My life is very different from this time last year! I am so well!! The anxiety that had plagued me for most of my life has never returned since our sessions and there are so very many other wonderful results. I make better decisions, have a better memory and am so much steadier and happier all around! There have been some times in the past many months that were difficult times and I breezed through them! Thank you one more time for your great work!!

What a wonderful life I’ve had, just wish I would have realized it sooner. Better late than never. The effects of our meeting this past spring are still with me. Thank you. My appreciation of myself has increased several hundred percent. It feels very good and I am making some major changes in my life this year, then the world will open up a lot. “It’s not what you look at that matters, it is what you see.”

Skip, I have referred you and your contact information to a few of my friends for your services. I thank you for assisting me into becoming a non- smoker. I am so glad I used your services and became successful in achieving the goal of becoming a non-smoker. I have smoked for 50 years and never had a day that I didn’t smoke in those years. It is unbelievable that after your sessions I became a definite non-smoker and had no withdrawals and a different mindset. All I can say is I feel you literally saved my life. Going on 3 months without a cigarette and not even a puff is truly amazing. I appreciate your services as it is the best money I ever spent. My lung doctor was so happy of the decision to become a non-smoker and he took your contact information to refer his patients who need to quit. Thank You !

Hi Skip, I hope you are doing well! I wanted to let you know how very well I’m doing! Since our sessions I’ve had no anxiety what ever! Now if I’m careful with my diet my blood pressure stays steady within a healthy range! The confidence I feel about life in general is so much better. Also I’m much more calm and thoughtful in all situations. Thanks again for your amazing contribution to my health and well being!! Sending you much joy and good wishes! (From a client whose anxiety caused significant blood pressure elevation)
(Update from the same client) I wanted to tell you some interesting news! With no longer feeling anxiety of any sort thanks to the hypnotherapy I am no longer producing cortisol and I’m losing fat! I’m not dieting and yet have lost 1.5 inches from around my waist! That’s a significant amount considering it’s the last place for someone my body type loses! I’m feeling calm, sleeping well and loving life!!!

Just a few words I’d like to pass on. I’m truly amazed how much you helped me accomplish in my personal growth in just 2 sessions. It’s like an uncertain, anxious, under confident teenager who was trying to play a good game of golf has been replaced by a calm, confident, grown up who is emotionally prepared for whatever he may face on (and off) the course. This is a permanent part of my personal growth that was way, way overdue. I’ve worked at, and improved, all the physical parts of my game over the last 4 months, but this was by FAR the most important change that was desperately needed. The proof is in the pudding – I scored 24 strokes better over 72 holes….that’s freaking incredible. The man that walked into your office last month could have never played that kind of golf – NEVER. But I sure can now! I’m so freaking happy about this…nothing can shake my confidence in what we’ve done. I’m ready for anything, and so grateful for this opportunity. I just don’t have enough words to express my joy!
Update from this same client a year later:
Skip, Hope all is well. Last spring, I had two sessions with you. My objective was to improve my ability to focus on the golf course. I just want you to know how much impact those two simple sessions have had on me. The pre vs post “Skip session” Tim are two different people. The post session me is calm, patient, and confident, verses the pre-session me who was jittery, apprehensive, and lets face it….immature. I see negative examples of that all around me, and I actually feel sorry for them. I still feel room to grow. I think the mind can grow forever…. but the difference in my mental strength is incredible. I’ve never felt so at ease, and at peace…even in the face of adversity. And here’s the really cool part….I become even more at ease and focused when I do face adversity. I never consistently possessed that trait before. It seems a shame I will probably never work with, or see you again, but I want you to know that I will carry what I accomplished, with your help, for the rest of my life.

Have been to see Skip for two appointments and already what a change in my life! Wish I had know about him years ago instead of carrying around all these bad emotions. I would encourage anyone to go and experience him and how great you can truly feel!

My husband came to you for to work on some underlying issues that were resulting in his addiction to gambling. We have been married for 10 years and together for 12. I am in tears right now, hoping to express my level of gratitude for you and this practice. My husband has a sense of peace that was never present in his life before. He is now truly able to feel the joy that I know we are all meant to feel. Only after 2 sessions!!! I am mind-blown! Skip, you saved him! I don’t mean physically saved him; I mean you gave him the ability to truly live life through the lense of enjoyment. In turn, you saved our marriage and our family. I will remain forever grateful for you and your work. Please take this appreciation and feel it deep within because you deserve it.

I have seen and felt a change in my appearance and the way my clothes fit. I am pleased with the results from the weight loss portion of our sessions and am even more pleased with the sessions that promoted self-confidence and self-love! I’ve really felt a change with this. It has eased some anxiety in my life and has brought so much clarity to what I want and need from my life. Literally life-changing! Thank you so much for everything. You have a special gift and are truly an amazing person!
– Kathy F.
(Here is a note from a client who suffered from driving anxiety, especially on bridges, overpasses and elevated roads) Just for fun, I thought I’d update you. Yesterday, I drove 303 north to Happy Valley Road and discovered the Thunderbird mountains….very cool. Then, I traveled south on I-17 through town and took an “up-in-the-air” merge onto I-10. Traffic was slow, which helped. Today, I’m heading to Sedona…….probably won’t go the northern route from Sedona to Flagstaff (Oak Creek Canyon Road), because I want to be home for dinner. Thank you for your help and time well spent. You’ve turned me onto a new modality (hypnotherapy), one I might not have otherwise explored.
– Norene L.(Individual results may vary from person to person)
Thanks to Skip I not only have the real me back but I am losing weight every week. This has been the most life changing and health changing experience of my life. Feeling amazing and getting such incredible comments about how good I look and how totally happy I look. Long time friends are saying “Welcome back – happy to have you back! What has happened to you?”
– Ruth R.– Update from Ruth R. I am down 60 lbs. now! Yesterday was monthly bunco. We have the best time. 48 players. I arrived and right from the start I had a fat head from so many wonderful compliments about my weight loss. Then it started with people coming to my table saying “I heard you are doing this with hypnosis. Do you mind answering questions and sharing contact info. I gave your name and website and shared my honest opinions. You already know how I feel, so of course I give you a much deserved glowing review.
(Individual results may vary from person to person)
Thank you so much for helping me heal, I’m still in shock at how much better I feel physically, mentally & spiritually.
– D. G.(Individual results may vary from person to person)
I have been to therapists of different modalities for more than a dozen years, and nothing worked to help me feel better until I saw you! You are the first person to get me to see the last time I was happy/giggly. Seeing that memory has had a profound impact. Feeling the release today is incredible. I feel better than myself. You are truly an incredible person. I’ve spent decades trying to find this place of self love. I found it in just two months with your help. The whole world has shifted into color. I will never be able to repay you, so I will pay it forward. I can’t thank you enough.
– Tara D.(Individual results may vary from person to person)
My hypnosis sessions with Skip have been life-changing! Everything I went into the session looking for was achieved and more. Skip was extremely thorough and knowledgeable in the science and research of hypnosis. He took the time to understand my issue that I came in for and he tailored my sessions to what was discussed in our original consultation. This truly helped me understand my problem on a deeper level. I find my sessions immensely relaxing too. I feel all the tension and stress of life melt away when in his office. The relaxing effect alone was worth the visit not to mention the fact that Skip helped me find the inner peace from the issue I’ve struggled with the majority of my life. After years and years of traditional therapy and never getting to the root of my problem I am so eternally grateful to finally find the help I’ve so desperately been looking for all these years. I feel amazing and like a different person. Its amazing how powerful your subconscious mind is. It has changed my life in every way imaginable. I cannot thank you enough Skip!
– Kelly B.(Individual results may vary from person to person)
Skip, I am making excellent progress in my quest to lose weight, down now 15 pounds after only 3 weeks! Because it doesn’t feel at all like my previous attempts to lose weight, it surprises me every time I get on the scale to find that it has gone down more. It feels good. Also, my pain is less in my knees and hip. Finally the sciatic nerve pinch episode has passed so that I am not in screeching pain from that any longer. You will appreciate that I experienced a very precise release of the iron grip that my muscles had on my lower back after an acupuncture treatment during the day and listening to one of our session recordings before sleep that night. The release was so pronounced that I felt in that moment the exact parameters of the area affected and could see it as a circle in my mind. Though it happened while I slept, I recalled it vividly when I awoke. In the days that followed, the nerve then recovered from being pinched for four long weeks. After three days, I had no pain from the sciatic nerve to contend with. It was such a great experience to work with you. Your insights and skills as a hypnotist helped me to get past some pieces of my past that were blocking my progress in life. Though intellectually I felt that I had put aside my sadness and anger so that they were no longer affecting my life, you showed me that I needed to purge on a higher level to release those fingers of pain holding on to me, keeping me from experiencing a more true and complete confidence in myself. I feel stronger now that I can view the past from a truly adult perspective. My life feels more optimistic. At nearly 65 years old, I am moving forward to becoming the true me, and I am happy about that. Thank you for all your help. You should feel good in knowing that you made a difference in my life!

I came in to see Skip for the first time a couple of months ago. Immediately a compassion and desire to help me overcome several obstacles was obvious. Not only did he listen to me, but he explained the process of hypnotherapy and how it brings about healing. I went in for therapy for claustrophobia, weight loss, anxiety and smoking and have been able overcome all of these with Skip’s help. I can now ride in elevators, in the last two weeks I have lost 10 lbs. and I have been given the tools for overcoming anxiety when I recognize it coming on. As far as smoking I have quit for 3 for weeks and am continuing to work on the triggers that draw me to them, and I will get there soon with Skip’s help – I honestly have no doubt. You will find healing here, some much needed relaxation, a journey toward your personal freedom, all in a safe, comfortable and caring environment. A lot can happen in a couple of months!
– T.G.(Individual results may vary from person to person)
What a wonderful experience!! If you are considering hypnotherapy – Skip is the right person. From the beginning to the end of the session, Skip provides a professional environment and explains the difference between the conscious & subconscious mind in an understandable and clear way. He immediately puts you at ease and I can tell he truly desires the best for his clients. I went to Skip for weight loss. The weight has been coming off & my food cravings have diminished. Something that I didn’t expect when I decided to take this step is that he taught me the process of relaxation & I sleep better than I ever have before. Skip helped me understand the advantages & life-changing benefits that hypnotherapy can offer. Thank you Skip.

(Here is a note from a client’s husband whose wife came to me with daily headaches, severe insomnia (sleeping 2-3 hours per night for the past years), and neck pain. After two sessions, she began sleeping through the night – every night! Her neck pain was gone completely, and not one headache since. The client had been seen by medical doctors, was on pain medication, but nothing helped – until she discovered hypnotherapy!)
I thought it might be nice to offer a little of Darlene’s history. We married in 1952, I had never found a more happy, cheerful and more pleasant little girl anywhere. We lived in Bellevue, WA, Napa. CA, San Diego and Sierra Vista, AZ till I retired in 1989. Still the same pleasant, happy little girl. Things changed in the early 90’s right after she took a fall. She started having the headaches then some physical problems and the pleasant personality wasn’t as obvious as before either. The Dr. put her on Zoloft which helped a little with the head aches but did little else. We lived with the head aches and the other problems (some of them physically painful) till you saw her in Sept of this year.
Since you saw her and gave us the recordings of your sessions with her, She has listened to the them a few times and the change they have made is really remarkable. She hasn’t mentioned any of the little painful problems she had in her back and neck nor has she mentioned the head aches for nearly 2 weeks now. I haven’t mentioned them either but I do listen to her carefully.
She seems to be the same happy, good-natured girl I found 53 years ago and we just couldn’t be happier. Our heartfelt thanks seem inadequate for all you have done for us.

We made it back last Monday and what a trip! I saw some very beautiful places and sights. I am very privileged to be able to cross off a bucket list item. I did really good on all the plane rides. I was a little stressed out on the way over there as our flight was delayed two hours and we were sitting in the plane the whole time. But I managed and did ok on the 10 hour flight coming back from London to Houston. I’ve improved so much and have less anxiety plus I wasn’t on any medication. Thank you! I appreciate the work you’ve done with me. (From a client who had severe anxiety about flying and went on a trip to Europe.)

“I am so grateful I discovered Skip Albright and the power of hypnotherapy through a workshop he conducted. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and even though I had tried many forms of counseling and traditional therapy over the years, I had ongoing issues regarding my self-worth, confidence and self-esteem. After three sessions with Skip, I began to see changes in how I managed my world. I feel lighter, happier and self-confident. I continue to surprise myself with my new attitudes and actions! Skip’s approach to therapy is compassionate, caring and incredibly effective. Thank you, Skip, for turning my life around.”

“Skipnotherapy has been a great experience! I had been having issues trying to sleep for months. I had to take sleep aids every night (melatonin, dream water, zzzquil, simply sleep, etc.) and even that wouldn’t help because it would take me a couple of hours to fall asleep. After the first relaxation session with Skip it took me about 20 minutes to fall asleep on my own, and that’s very unusual for me, and the next morning I felt very rested. It’s been that way since my first session. Since my ability to fall asleep on my own was so greatly improved through hypnotherapy with Skip, I’ve been seeing him to help me with other matters. Thank you Skip!”

“Skip treated me for pain in my right shoulder. I have a big dog who lunges for squirrels and I’d suffered one too many yanks on the leash and had been having right shoulder pain for about 6 months. I had been taking acetaminophen and ibuprofen several times daily for those months with no end in sight. I saw Skip for one treatment. ONE. Immediately afterwards, the pain was greatly diminished and within a few days, completely gone. This was about 5 months ago now and the pain has not come back. I have not taken a single ibuprofen! And Skip has a commanding yet soothing presence that inspires confidence and trust. I felt very comfortable with him. Thank you, Skip!!!”

“I was one of those people who was very skeptical about being hypnotized until I had my first session with Skip. He put me at ease and was able to get me to relax completely in hypnosis. My goal was to lose weight and after my second session I was well on my way. I have lost about twenty pounds so far and I am still losing. When I feel I need a little boost, I will listen to the sessions that Skip recorded for me. I am so grateful that he was able to get me on the right track. Never again will I question hypnotherapy as it has truly worked for me. Thank you Skip Albright!”

It has been over a year since I had my first session on weight loss with Skip and hypnotherapy. I had been doing well until the holidays at the end of 2014. I was not quite as focused as I was previously, so I decided to make another appointment with him. After only one session, I am back on track and so thankful to you, Skip!
– A January, 2015 update from J. Howard
(Individual results may vary from person to person)
“When I went to see Skip the first time, I told him I really wanted to lose about 35 excess pounds in about 9 months’ time. I had tried using hypnosis CD’s I purchased off of the internet about a year earlier, but didn’t have much success with them. After two sessions with Skip, I began to lose weight immediately. After a couple of months, it was still a struggle for me to not think about food way too much, and I did a “refresher” session with Skip. That was all it took for me to be able to control my desire for food, and I continue to lose weight at a safe rate. I am now able to fit into clothes I haven’t been able to in years, and I couldn’t be happier!”
Update from July 2015 – I have gone from 190 pounds to 140 pounds, and from a size 20 to a size 10! I feel better than I have in many years. I rarely eat unhealthy foods anymore, but whenever I do, I definitely feel worse which is proof to me that I need to continue to eat well! I could not be happier with my results!
-B. Poole
(Individual results may vary from person to person)
“I first went to see Skip for weight loss after he had helped my wife make great strides in her own weight loss with his help. I had put on some excess weight that just seemed to be a struggle to lose. Skip explained to me that it would probably only require two sessions to accomplish what I needed to do to begin losing weight and that turned out to be right! I lost about 9 pounds in the first 2-3 weeks, and I continue to lose weight, without any of the cravings for bad foods I used to have. Additionally, I had chronic shoulder and neck pain that often led to severe headaches. I again went to Skip to see if there was anything that could be done through hypnotherapy to address this problem. He assured me there was, and after only one session, my pain began to decrease almost immediately. After a couple of months, I was able to report that my pain had been reduced about 75% and the headaches I used to get have all but completely subsided. I have to say my hypnotherapy sessions have gone a long way to improve the quality of my life in both of these aspects!
Update from March 2014 – ” I revisited Skip when my pain had reappeared after a few weeks with almost no pain. Skip explained to me that just as my mind eradicated the pain after hypnotherapy, it allowed the pain to return as a result of my own subconscious memories. Skip did a quick refresher session with me, and my pain went away completely this time. I am truly amazed at the power of the mind, and with Skip’s abilities as a hypnotherapist!”

“For years I was a diet coke-aholic! I drank 2-3 diet cokes a day, and I knew they were not good for me. But they were a part of my routine, and I really had difficulty stopping drinking them. I literally had two sessions with Skip Albright – the first one which he said was a general induction session where he familiarized me with how hypnosis felt, and the second session when he focused on my being able to control my diet coke “addiction.” Without exaggerating, I stopped drinking diet cokes that day, and without any cravings or any other bad effects. I was amazed that it just didn’t bother me to not drink them anymore, and now, some six months later, I still have no desire to drink diet coke. I will drink one every 3-4 weeks, but no longer because I “have to,” but because I can! Thanks Skip! It may seem a small matter to some people, but I know your help made a difference to my health!”
-B. Beyer
(Individual results may vary from person to person)
“Skip Albright has proved to be a valuable resource on my weight loss journey. I was on a long plateau and very discouraged with my lack of progress. In conversation with Skip he suggested that hypnosis could help me reprogram my subconscious to support my efforts. Skip created a very supportive and relaxing experience, and I started losing weight. Each session felt effective, and I enjoy listening to the recordings of our sessions. I was delighted to win a weight loss contest at my local gym recently, losing almost twice as much weight as any of the other contestants. Thanks Skip!”

“Dear Skip, two days ago I came to you looking for relief from severe back pain that not only affected my back, but also radiated through my hip and down one of my legs. It was something that came on rather suddenly, but I was just certain I was going to require a chiropractic treatment and medication to control the pain – something I did not want to do. A friend of mine whom you had helped with weight loss recommended I contact you to see if there was anything that could be done with hypnosis. I really liked that it was supposed to be something very natural, and wouldn’t require pain killers or other medication. Well, to my amazement, after my first session my pain was gone completely. It still has not returned, and I am astonished how the mind is able to manage such feats so quickly! I know having a skilled hypnotherapist is part of it, but you have made me a believer! Thank you so much for your help!”

(A note from a client who was treated for chronic shoulder and upper back pain which plagued her for about four years. She had been unable to make the pain go away, and could not sleep on either side as a result. She described her pain as sometimes being an 8 or 9 out of 10.)
