Process Potential

I was referred to see Jonny Dupree, by another hypnotherapist who stated that Jonny was a relationship expert and would be able to help me with my relationship issue. I have been plagued by a lot of doubt and anxiety about a relationship I was in and wanted to come to terms with it in a healthy way; dealing with the anxiety and doubt, not running from the problem, self sabotaging, or some other maladaptive strategy.
My initial session was very positive and I thought the price charged was commensurate with the level of help I received. I spoke to Mr. Dupree after my initial session and I was told that he worked by «sessions» and felt that based on my particular issue, we would have a handle on it in about three sessions. The cost for these sessions was exorbitant, but I was told by him that he actually charged more, but was giving me a discount because I was referred to him by one of his associates.
I’m a teacher, not a wealthy person. I took out a loan to pay for my three sessions. What I paid for my initial consultation and my three sessions was more than I paid for a recent trip to Thailand and China (which included airfare) However, one can never put a price on health so I went ahead and signed up for my three sessions.
When I was in the sessions I always felt good. Jonny is very personable and came across as caring and sincerely interested in my problem and wanting to help me solve it. However, after every session I would go back to square one it seemed. I have the texts to prove it, but I was told by his assistant that it was part of the growth process and it was just another step in my recovery. In our last session he stated to me that we seemed to have solved the problem and he asked me to send him picture of my girlfriend and I after we were married.
I had another meltdown soon after and ended the relationship I was in. All the doubt and anxiety just flooded back. It was extremely disappointing because I invested a lot of money and time into this issue and now it seems like I am back to square one. I just feel numb. Jonny stated that he had «planted» certain things in my mind, as it pertained to my issue, but that it was up to me, and I guess my subconscious, to find my way to where I needed to be. He also encouraged me to sign up for more sessions, which I mentally put to rest. Will something happen later? I really don’t know. All I know is that’s it’s been more than two weeks since my last session and it’s almost like I never went.
I’ve never tried this type of therapy before. Perhaps it is more successful with people who want to quit smoking, chewing their fingernails, something more tangible than relationship issues. I’ve tried to be fair in this review. Perhaps someone else with less baggage might do better. As a hypnotherapist professional, I would give Mr. Dupree five stars from the standpoint of his knowledge, demeanor and professionalism. However, I won’t accept, and can’t excuse, paying such a large fee for the kind of results that I had. My expectation is that when someone pays top dollar for a service and is told that it’s the best there is, there are tangible results.
Unfortunately, in my case, those results aren’t in evidence.
