I got curious and thought that my readers might also want to know about this store as well. I mean, come on who doesn't have a stress-related behavior these days? Like the hard-to-sleep aka insomnia like me? Or maybe a social phobia? Diabetics? anyone?
I know we all have our own problematic behavior so I think what Kym done here is just absolutely fabulous. She offers hypnosis sessions as a therapy to fix our bad behaviors and addictions whether it's insomnia or hard-to-relax or eating disorder, etc. I'm always fascinated by this kind of thing and have always wanted to try if it really could work. I know you wonder too but first let's meet Kym.
Kym Tolson is a Hypnotherapist approved by the National Board for Certified Clinical Hypnotherapists as well as a Licensed Therapist and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor. She utilizes hypnosis daily in her professional practice to affect positive changes in clients who are addicted to a variety of substances and behaviors.
From the store:
There are over 6,000 research studies that prove the effectiveness of hypnosis. Hypnosis has been proven to be extremely effective in significantly improving client behavior. All that is needed is a desire for positive change and the commitment to listen to the hypnosis session on a consistent basis.
Kym's hypnotherapy sessions are available as a CD or as an mp3 download. So I guess it's more like a private therapy session which you can easily do on the comfort of your home. So far, I like the idea.
The hypnosis sessions allow you to be hypnotized whenever you have a spare hour to spend. Each CD/mp3 is a recording of Kym's own voice with an added relaxing background music. The music is specifically orchestrated to induce the Theta brain wave state, which is optimal for the hypnosis to take effect. Her sessions guide you into a relaxing hypnotic state where your subconscious mind is able to receive the hypnotic suggestions. That is quite cool!
So I was very curious with the Sleep Soundly Hypnosis since I have had this bad insomnia thing since college (and I'm waaaaay beyond college-age now ;p) so I was at this stage where I would try anything to at least reduce my insomnia. Kym is so lovely and she kindly let me try her Sleep Soundly Hypnosis when I expresses my above problem.
And then the next day I received the MP3 version.
And that night I tried it on my CD player just before sleep time.
First, i was kinda doubtful whether listening to an MP3 could really makes me sleepy and I was a bit afraid too because I've never been to a hypnosis session before but I push PLAY anyway.
The MP3 combines guided imagery with deep relaxation techniques which is voiced by Kym. Her soft and low-key voice makes me calm and the serene music in the background feels like a breeze on my mind.
Unfortunately I have many disturbances that night. My neighbor was playing a loud music and it really interrupts my "session".
The webstore said "Always listen to your CD in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed". But apparently I couldn't have a quiet night that night so the first try was skeptical. But I listened to the MP3 anyway (although how hard I tried to concentrate on the MP3 the sound of the neighbor's music still creeping in) and I did got to sleep just before the MP3 ends. So I guess that's a good sign ;D
And so I tried it again 3 days later when I finally have a nice quiet night.
And it works! I found myself asleep much faster, even before the middle track. But I really don't keep track honestly as all I could remember was listening to Kym's voice with a relaxing background music that lulls me to sleep and then... i'm lost ^__^
And now the MP3 is on my Ipod, every time I listened it get me to fall asleep faster than the previous session so I was very satisfied and relieved because with this hypnosis technique I could finally beat my insomnia. I have great hope with this hypnosis session, I believe my insomnia would be cured entirely and I could sleep normal again. :D

I did not receive any form of cash for this review and this is written based on my own honest opinion (other people may have different opinions). Hypnotransformations gave me the product to be reviewed but it does not affect my opinion on the product.
