Testimonials
Below are what some people have said about their experience of Human Givens therapy with Therapy4Change.
'I particularly liked the sympathetic approach, listening to me and making me feel relaxed. After the session I felt relaxed and more in control. I think the approach is of great benefit.'
'Immediately afterwards I felt a deep sense of calm and a great feeling of having come to terms with 'myself' and areas of my past. I also felt hugely positive about life. I felt lighter and less responsible for the whole world. I have noticed numerous improvements and changes. I am far more confident and far less afraid to speak my mind.'
'I liked that it gave me some tools to use myself and I have used them and am still doing so. After the session I felt more in control and less fragile. I am generally able to cope better and am getting to be back to the strong me that I like to be. I haven't had a panic attack since, and I think I am more focused on what I want.'
'I was terrified of flying for the past 10 years, didn't even go on holiday with my family! This year I had to go to Dubai ( 7 hours ) for work and thanks to Dorothy I've managed it! One session the day before the flight and what an achievement! Dorothy many thanks I now feel more confident and guess what flying to London next week! Once again, Thank you!!!!!!'
'It works! I particularly liked that it didn’t involve talking about upsetting experiences, but focussed on reducing their power so that I could get on with my life.I’m much more able to step back from my emotional responses and realise that I don’t have to buy into my negative thoughts. I’m much better able to evaluate what is going on in my head and identify when I’m going down paths that are unhelpful. I also now have tools to deal with these issues – previously I was often able to see when I was getting into a negative thought pattern but didn’t have the wherewithal to stop it. I am much less anxious and feel able to lead a ‘normal’ life (whatever that is!).'
'I started this therapy because of ongoing problems with anxiety and every session I had made a huge difference that has lasted. The biggest difference is that I am no longer constantly on edge and waiting for something bad to happen, which is wonderful. It’s the only therapy I’ve had that actually works and I am quite happy to tell that to anyone who will listen. Just a massive thank you! HG has changed my life.'
' I really liked the idea that it wasn't a long drawn out therapy extravaganza. When I walked out into the day (after the session) I felt euphoric, I had so much belief in myself that I had finally overcome my sickness phobia.'
'It's practical, forward looking. Works much quicker than conventional talking therapies. I felt much more positive about making life changes, even excited!'
'I particularly liked the way the therapy took a memory that had troubled me since it happened and took the sting out of it - and the way I got to relax so deeply. I found afterwards my anxiety decreased significantly and I had a renewed sense of calm and the sense that things and that I was OK. '
'Thank you for helping me overcome my stage fright. You transformed my whole experience of the play. Before I was dreading it and felt sick even thinking about it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks to you.'
'I liked the fact that it is based on some theory, and rather structured. I liked your gentle calmness and great insight. I was always baffled by your skills in listening and extracting the essence. And at the same time you stood firm in not going along with my demons, and in believing in a positive outcome.'
'I came away from meeting with you with a real feeling that a curtain was beginning to lift again. This really is the first time for many months that I have felt such an enthusiasm.'
'I liked the relaxed atmosphere and that there is plenty of science behind the theory to enable me to accept it. The first session instantly changed my outlook and enabled me to let go (of work), leave my job and focus on a creative future. Since the sessions I have a continued focus on living life today; my sleep has improved. I would recommed HG therapy as it works. And can have a very quick improvement.'
'If I made a recommendation it would be to recommend Dorothy as a therapist as I find she is a warm, intuitive and caring therapist with the ability to gently guide and direct too.'
'I thought it was very peaceful. I felt happier. I don't 'catastrophise' the way I did before. I am aware my breathing becomes shallow under stress and use the breathing a great deal. I would certainly recommend it.'
