Alison, Mike is away till Thursday or Friday and hopefully he will see this, but the fact your better stays with you first of all. I suggest you finnish wait a week or two see how your doing and use the tapes after that for a refresher. I know a long time ago, when I finnished I listen once or twice and it only took hearing them to bring me back almost right away.Sometime soon I will be doing a after hypno chat and probably posting some info here as well. I recommend also practicing self hypnosis using the techniques from the tapes ten minutes a day when you have time. The more you practice it the easier it gets, or at least it did for me,but I think most everyone can.Also, listen to side two a couple times again as it has some important info for the subconcious there and is a good refresher.Near the end sometimes for people the subconcious can put up a last minute road block and overcoming that last hurtle can make a big difference.On another note the chnages can keepp happening after your done for months, so you know.------------------Moderator of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Anxiety and Hypnotherapy forumI work with Mike and the IBS Audio Program. www.ibshealth.com www.ibsaudioprogram.com
