What Is Your Success Rate?
The most common question I get asked is ‘what is your personal success rate with clients?’
It’s a fair enough question, and as a potential client you deserve an answer.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the kind of answer you may be looking for, because my response to this question is always: ‘I don’t know’.
The reason I don’t know is that I simply don’t have accurate data. That is, I don’t have the resources to collect this data to the degree that it could yield any meaningful results.
Buyer beware
If I had a dollar for every hypnosis website I have come across that has a big ‘95% Success Rate’ Banner plastered across the front page, I’d be pretty wealthy.
The average person may not think to question this number because it would seem improbable that any practitioner would lie about such results.
The fact is, plenty of practitioners do lie about their success rate because to my knowledge very few people have the money or the resources to do the proper studies and research that would be required to produce a valid figure.
So….if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
It would be more accurate to say that most of my clients respond positively to the effects of hypnosis, but some don’t.
No modality is effective for all of the people all of the time.
To improve your chances of success, do your research and select the best hypnotherapist for the job. Next time a hypnotherapist quotes a success rate, ask for the research and data to back it up. My guess is they won’t be able to validate their claims.
As for me, well the only thing I can tell you is the truth. In my 20+ years of practice, I have been able to help most people…. but there are some people I can’t help. I can’t know just by talking to a person whether they will be receptive to my treatment programs.
No hypnotherapist can guarantee results, nor can they tell just by talking to a person, whether that person will achieve the outcome they desire.
However, I do have testimonials on this website, some written and some videos. These were given by real clients who had great results and who are grateful for the work I did with them.
If you’d like to talk to me about how I may be able to help you, feel free to call me or contact me via my website.
