I signed up for Paul’s pain program, which involves 4 sessions that I spread out over 6 weeks. I have had unexplained but very painful eye pain for over 4 years and have tried practically every modality and nothing was helping. The hypnosis is the first thing I’ve tried that is actually helping. What’s interesting to me is that I thought my eye pain was the first thing that would go away, but what I came to realize was that it was just a symptom of a larger problem, which was an inability to handle stress well and set clear boundaries.(BTW, I’m consciously aware of this, but it is working with the unconscious which matters– which is why talk therapy can be so ineffective.) Anyway, I joke with Paul that even though I signed up for the pain series, it seems like I signed up for the stress relief/stronger boundaries/not letting toxic people get to me program. I’ve noticed the difference in my ability to handle my life, and other people have as well. As for the eye pain– it’s gone from hurting all the time to more variable and I’m more aware now of what exacerbates it. I do believe that listening to my MP3’s 2x per day for the next few months will allow it to finally go away. Paul is friendly and safe– no weird guy trying to trick you. And whatever you do, don’t go to the guy who charges $ 2700 up front for hypnosis. Paul is affordable and cares about people. I highly recommend Burlington Hypnosis.

Paul is terrific, after working with him on a small area of interest I’ve applied his techniques to a wide range of relaxation exercises related to sports psychology. My golf game did reap a fair amount of rewards that I never expected. If you want to connect with your inner control panel(my phrasing, not his!)… Paul will help you make that connection.

I just finished my third session with Paul. I really liked his approach. I was open to the process and it worked. This is not mumbo jumbo and there were no tricks. It is essentially guided relaxation. For me the experience felt like being somewhere else with the biggest component being a feeling of wellness and being in the moment. In this review I don’t want to mislead anyone that this is some sort of quick fix. To take the full advantage of the program and make the changes stay you’ve got to incorporate what he’s shown you into your life. I’ll update this review in 6 months with how it went for me.

Paul Gustafson is a find. I went to him for public speaking. It was inexpensive and it worked! About a month after our 3 sessions I went to a networking meeting where I was asked to give a one minute summary of my life coaching business. After the meeting, a woman came over to me and told me how comfortable I was getting up and speaking in front of the group. My nervousness seems to be gone. I’m excited about the possibilities now. As a coach, I find opportunities to speak in front of groups and until now I wasn’t sure I wanted to do so. I also discovered that hypnosis is a bit like a guided meditation. Looking forward to working with Paul again the next time an issue is holding me back.

Paul is amazing! His program is mastered, you can see all the details have been thought through and brought to perfection. Unlike other hypnosis providers, Paul is very clear about when and what to expect, he consistently asks for feedback, trying to make his patients’ experience as effective and comfortable as possible. I feel absolutely confident recommending Burlington Hypnosis to all who can benefit from this kind of treatment!
