Alison – age 44

She developed Plaque Psoriasis on her elbows, knees and ankles at the age of 39.  She has tried steroid creams and UV treatment neither worked.  At the time of starting treatment with me she was just using E45 cream.

Alison developed Psoriasis immediately after her fathers death.  He died suddenly of a heart attack.  She was on holiday at the time and was unable to return for the funeral.   She consequently had many guilt issues regarding her father.  Under hypnosis she achieved closure and said good bye to her father.  Her self-esteem was severely knocked.  We did some ego strengthening and confidence building within hypnosis.  Her Psoriasis did not respond immediately, it took 7 weeks before she saw an improvement although she only attended 4 sessions with me. After 12 weeks she was clear and five years later she is still clear.

Simon – age 27

Simon had Plaque and Guttate Psoriasis over 45% of his body.  He had tried steroid creams, Chinese herbal and acupuncture. He has also tried UV treatment which was mildly effective.

During hypno-analysis he was regressed back to when he was 8, at which time he was bullied at school quite severely.  It was immediately after this that his Psoriasis started.  His father being an ex Colonel gave him very little support and he was told to grow up and stop complaining about it.  His mother was an alcoholic and consequently he received little or no medical attention for the first three months.  It wasn’t until a teacher brought it to the attention of medical staff that he was treated.  The lack of support and help from his family made him feel alone and unlovable. We then went through some gestalt therapy and he integrated childhood traumas with his adult thinking.  We went on to do some quite extensive suggestion therapy and later on some NLP reframing.  After the third session Simon’s Psoriasis was drastically reducing and by the fifth week was almost completely clear.  We finally did some self-hypnosis and time-line work and now 4 months later he is completely clear still. He still listens to his self-hypnosis CD once a week.  He has never been completely clear of Psoriasis before and he is taking no drugs or any other treatment for his Psoriasis.  He has had a complete transformation and is very happy.
