"Patti, I really appreciate your taking the time to send me these smoking scripts. I am strong in other area's and know I can have great sucess with this area as well. I am sure this will help me to help others. I like the way you communicate in your emails and in person, very evolved thinking - its nice to have a friend and teacher like you. You have always been a great help to me, thank you again. Will talk to you soon." Kevin

"Patricia and Michael, My deepest apologies for being slow-I ahave been incredibly busy since our class ended. A good problem to have but no excuse for bad manners.
Please accept this formal letter of gratitude and appreciation for the gifts I received both professionally and personally from my training with you both for the Winter 2011 Hypnosis Certification Course at UP Hypnosis Institute. You both were aware this was not my first hypnosis training, and you both knew of course, that I am licensed therapist who has worked with people for a long time. But were you aware how much your training impacted the work I was doing? The course really opened up my understanding of the subconscious and how to impact the subconscious through positive communication and influence-both in and out of trance. I understand “trance” better, which means I utilize it better. With increased understanding comes increased confidence and THAT is real gift in and of itself. As I move forward in my training and work, I have a better foundation in the PROCESSES of hypnosis for having spent this time with you both and I do highly recommend UP Hypnosis Institute’s Hypnosis Certification Training to anyone interested in gaining both understanding and experience in hypnosis.
If it helps you in any way to use this a testimonial, please feel free. I really look forward to you both being a part of my journey in the future."

"Wanted to let everyone know that Patricia Scott’s Classes on Hypnosis are excellent, and I am getting an exceptional refresher course PLUS some new stuff. So if you’re debating at all about attending, IT IS WELL WORTH THE TIME!!! I also know that CEU’s can be a pain, but this is a great way to stay on top of it for next year. Patti is (as you know) a very good instructor and informative. I have already gotten a lot of benefit from just the first two days. So, do keep the remaining classes in mind as a great resource.
I am working temporarily as a Personal Assistant/CareGiver, but also doing HYPNOSIS off and on, and often do so for people at my church. Plan to step up the Hypnosis work the beginning of the year. Hope to see all of you at Patti’s new office. Getting into doing Counseling and Healing, which is what I love to do, and something I am very good at. Miss you all. Warmest Regards,"

MEDICAL HYPNOTHERAPY CERTIFICATION
APRIL 8, 2010
"I have had excellent and amazing results from utilizing the two weekend training for medical hypnotherapy. Thank you! I do believe that training was pivotal for me as a hypnotherapist. Everything just clicked after training with you and Melissa [Roth]. I am, now, confident and know that I can handle any issue. What a wonderful feeling to be unafraid when a potential client calls. It rounded out my knowledge, filling in what was lacking from my original training. Just when I began to feel like I was going to pay for 'more training' again, I actually, got the information that merged all my other training that I had sought after FIH and it catapulted me into a confident, competent, hypnotherapist. Anyway...use any or all as you see fit. I am one happy Ht."

HYPNOSIS-NLP MASTER CLASS

I felt very comfortable in your meeting room and in understanding your presentations. While my left brain liked the diplomas on your wall - my right brain appreciated your own personal warm glow! Thank you for all the good you do!"

SMOKING CESSATION
January 15, 2008
Patricia - Happy New Year!!! I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday season. I wanted to let you know that I have not smoked since our session in early August of 2006. Wooohoooo!!!!! I’m not sure if you remember but the reason why I would only have you do my session and not any other hypnotherapist was because I had been reading about NLP for several years and you were the only person at the time that incorporated NLP with your “quit smoking” sessions. I have known for a long time that my destiny was to learn and use NLP techniques to help others but I have never made the commitment to leave my profession of 13 years. I am ready to take the plunge!! I would love to talk to you about your upcoming Hypnosis Certification training that will begin the weekend of Feb 16th & 17th. Please call me when you have a few minutes to talk. My cell number is *********. I look forward to talking to you again.

"– Hi Patti, it’s -------, I was hypnotized to quit smoking, me & my girlfriend Jen, and I just wanted to tell you that neither one of us has smoked. I’m so proud of us & I really didn’t think I could do it, but we’re doing it & I’ve been recommending you to anybody & everybody that would listen. So, please call me because I wanted to talk to you about possibly doing one of your other things. So like I said, please call me, my number again is -------------- thanks." “J”
WEIGHT LOSS
November 14, 2007
2 MONTHS - 20 lbs.! I'm so pleased with the changes I've made in a little over two months. I lost 20 pounds and I just feel a whole lot better about waking up every morning. A fascinating journey. Peace, Caroline
FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING
Oct. 17, 2011 - "Hello Patti, this is Jerry *****. I'm the guy who overcame some of the public speaking fear recently for that big meeting I had up North and I just wanted to call and thank you for the session. I think it did lot of good and sometime in the future I'll like to continue with some other work because I definitely liked everything.
On a personal note, I was really impressed with your attitude. You know, we all know what it’s like to go to a professional for certain things and get the feeling, you know, we go and we’re just another customer and we pay, but when you were doing the session with me, I got the feeling that you were really pulling for me, that you were on my side and I was impressed that you were really able to hone in on about the issue with me. I give you an A+.
I was still very nervous the morning of the talk and got the usual upset stomach and had to lie down in my hotel room and put a wet washcloth on my head. Then later when it was my turn to get up and speak to the group, I was surprised that I felt really calm and put down my notes and just started talking to the people, which I never do, and they were laughing and clapping and I was really surprised at how well I did. A lot of people came up afterward to say how much they enjoyed it, well they would do that anyway, but it felt really good.
[NOTE FROM PATRICIA: This man didn’t even listen to the CD, which I had asked him to do at least 2-3 times before his presentation. During this call I told him the “Recycle Stress” CD will help him to work on the preliminary negative effects of the stress he experienced in his hotel room the morning before the talk. He also had forgotten to practice the focus exercise I taught him. In spite of all this, his unconscious mind still came through for him at the moment when he needed it. With further practice he will be able to eliminate the unhealthy stress leading UP to his frequent speaking engagements.]

My blood pressure was out of control, 189/106 today. The docs couldn’t get the meds right and it was going higher and higher…I started using my trusty CD ["Recycle Stress into Positive Energy" by Patricia V. Scott] again this afternoon. Twice through and it is at 160/80; not good..but..one heck of an improvement.

NEEDLE PHOBIA
March 17, 2010
"HI, I had a series of hypnosis sessions for fear of needles a year or so ago. I loved it and you helped me soooo much. I had a dental procedure on Monday and I told him about you. He asked me if I would get some of your business cards for his patients. So many people are in high anxiety when they have to have dental work done. So, would you please mail me some of your business cards? You can use my name in a testimonial....Thanks again so much..."

IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS)
June 24, 2011
"My first introduction to Patricia Scott of UP Hypnosis Institute was through an advertisement in Wellness magazine that had sat on my breakfast table for at least 2 months. The ad referenced Hypnotherapy as a possible cure for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a condition I had off but mostly on for 13 years. You noticed I called it a condition not a disease, which is based on my new understanding of the causes of IBS.
My first session with Patti Scott was an eye opener to the possibilities of hypnotherapy. Based on our discussions before the session started I told her that I had a lot of stress and I thought that stress was a leading cause of my IBS flare up. She agreed and the first hypnotherapy session was aimed at eliminating my stress and giving me tools to deal with my stress levels in the future.
To say that my first session was a success is an understatement. After I left the UP Hypnosis Institute offices that day I felt more relaxed than I had felt in many, many years. As I was driving back to my house I had a feeling of relaxation and tranquility that I could not ever remember having and a feeling of complete emptiness, not hunger but an emptiness that was very strange and completely new to me.
And although I try to not put a name on what my subconscious has done for me after each session it is inevitable that sooner or later a name will appear and it did so as I drove home. I was completely relaxed, tranquil, traffic did not bother me and I realized the emptiness I felt was the lack of tension caused by stress. It was a strange and beautiful feeling, I loved it.
The stress levels I had in the past are a thing of the past and with what I have learned through hypnotherapy I have been able to deal with each new stressful situation in a way that maintains my feeling of tranquility. When a very stressful situation arises I am now able to bypass the anxiety phase, which is a waste of time, and go directly to the solution phase. This had made me more productive, relaxed and happy.
For me hypnotherapy is a process of peeling layers of perception from my subconscious, not unlike peeling layers from an onion. And every time I peel off a new layer; such as removing a mental roadblock or realizing the cause for my negative thoughts, it has made me a better person.
I am happier, more relaxed and calmer than I have ever been and this has been noticed by my friends and family. The IBS is gone. I feel more complete and I have been able to pay more attention to those close to me because I am no longer absorbed with the negative scenarios that once consumed my daily mental activity.
For me hypnotherapy is a great adventure of discovery and understanding of one’s self and is a doorway to a more productive and happy life. And Patricia Scott is a great practitioner and guide for your journey through your subconscious mind. I highly recommend the process."
