MAY, 2012, E-MAIL:
Hi Patti, I want to tell you how much fun I am having (if it isn't obvious). My critical mind is a little flipped out!
It says - Why do you have so much energy? Why aren't you arguing with your wife (or anyone)? What are you so excited about?
Anyway I just tell it to chill out, sit in a lounge chair and watch. May be wear an Ipod - but don't talk to me, we will talk later.
In the last 12 hours I have begun to facilitate emotional happiness in 2 people close to me - insisting that they are doing all the work - I am just getting them started then they do it on thier own.
This has been the most impactful thing that has occurred to me in years. I am hoping the enthusiasm does not wear off - but matures and grows deeper.
I owe this to you and want to let you know, as I am sure many other folks have gushed, that you are a skillful and compassionate human being and I am proud to have made your acquaintance,
Sincerely,
Ken Veenstra

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrom) JUNE 24, 2011, LETTER:
To Whom It May Concern:
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.

"LIVING SMOKE-FREE" NOVEMBER 24, 2013, FACEBOOK POST: Hi Patti, it has been 3 wonderful years of Smoke-Free. I am still so thankful for you and all you do. Life is so much better now and it is really hard to see others suffering with the addiction and not understanding that it really is just a state of mind and not an addiction!! Debbie Hewitt

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.

"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,"

"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."

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.]

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."

AUGUST 3, 2005, E-MAIL: Patty, I've had some interesting results from the last session. You said to think of a food to avoid for one week; lately I've been extremely susceptible to cookies; those ready-to-bake ones that I tell myself I get for my son, and wind up eating myself. Okay, he eats maybe four of the twenty. Or the peanut butter ones from 7-11, 3 for $1.19, on the way home from work. Anyway, I got home MOnday and my son had an overnight guest; okay, cookies and milk as a bedtime snack; I baked a FEW, what I felt would leave no leftovers. There were leftovers, and I was able to choose not to eat them. I mean, I looked at them, thought, "eat?" and said "No. That's not the Cathy you want to embrace. They're not compatible with who you are", which is usually a thought that comes to me AFTER I've eaten to cookies. And I'm noticing an overflow into other sugary foods; there's a key lime pie in the fridge that is just not calling me and normally it would be gone by now.
More excitingly, I've noticed - and it's only been a couple nights, so I'm watching to see how this pans out - that yes, I look at cookies and see "Enemy" stamped in red on them. But I'm also seeing it on other, even healthy foods after I've had enough, and I think about eating MORE than enough. You didn't suggest this, but this is what my mind is doing with your suggestion.
See, I've been wrestling with this eating disorder for all my life since I was 13, and I don't know how to eat now. And I'm soooo easily able to rationalize overeating, and even purging, because I'm still learning how to not, and go into the danger zone, and when I feel overful it just drives me to purge. So I'm often able to stop before that point but not often enough; I've still been purging, but not as much as before. But I want to NOT. I want to be able, always, to just stop when I should, not think about it, and just stay out of the red zone, not trigger that impulse. Sometimes I just sit around for hours miserable because I really want to purge but I don't let myself, and I'm just uncomfortable and unable to think of other things, and I didn't mean to put myself there, but there I am.
So this raises the possibility to me - and I'm gonna go ahead and be excited about this, because those good feelings will only help me on a cellular level -- that we can lay in suggestions to help me just eat enough; nothing rigid, I don't want to have anorexic food avoidance issues; but something to red flag me before I overindulge and rationalize a purge or suffer through not doing it.
What I'm dealing with now, as far as I can see, doesn't require so much therapy and insight, as much as retraining. I just need to learn how normally eating people eat normally. Insight helps but only to a point. I have all sorts of psychological breakthroughs - I had a conversation with my 24-year-old daughter and she's describing a stage she's in and I am at the same place, in finding myself, as she is. And I see, hey, this is perhaps indicating my own development arrested at a certain point; these issues I'm wrestling with should have been fought out in my 20's rather than my 40's. And I can see ways I've used problems as an excuse for the bulimia, and the bulimia as an excuse for not moving myself forward in other ways, a perverse cycle. Nice insight, good girl, pat yourself on the back; but if you have the stupid damned habit of eating badly, and it's programmed over a quarter-century, that doesn't change with an intellectual revelation, true as it may be.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing you Monday night and seeing how this progresses.

SELF-HYPNOSIS TRAINING
FEBRUARY 25, 2006, E-MAIL:
Dear Patricia, Thank you for the wonderful introduction to hypnosis class. I had checked out other classes before (not conducted by you) but never made the plunge to actually attend. I saw your ad this week and thought, well, a 3 hour class for $30 sounds like a great offer. I really had no expectations when I attended today so was not only very happy with the scope and quality of the class but especially with you. I just didn't think I would like the instructor so much. When I do go for my certification I know exactly who my teacher will be, so as soon as I manifest my money I will be attending.
Thanks, Linda Venditti

Hi Patti! Well, I finally got to listen to the whole thing. Can u imagine being interrupted and not being able to get thru 10 minutes? Initially I was thinking that 10 minutes is perfect for most people's busy schedules. Surely everyone can find 10 minutes to set aside for a quickie but powerful session. During another attempt, I also had to stop & clean the cd b/c it was skipping, That started happening as I went thru the hole to the other side!
The first few times I felt I was trying to run things, I guess b/c I usually do in my sessions with others. This time I was able to just follow your lead and keep my eyes open until you told me to close them.
I loved the way you synchronized the music so perfectly with what you were saying. That was excellent. The little chime bell to make a point, the magical music for example. Very nice touch.
I released something that needed to go, I started tearing at one point. So, yes I liked it very much. Can't wait to listen to it again.
Thanks,
Jeanne
