This is my third time with Mark Patrick Seminars hypnosis to become a non-smoker. The two hour session was essentially an hour of education followed by an hour or so of hypnosis. The materials provided are useful as are the dietary and coping suggestions they provide. The available for purchase Audio CD can be useful for reinforcement later. The presenter was very good and knows what you need to hear so you can admit what you need to do and reinforces your control over yourself and your behaviors. Finally, if you are not satisfied, it’s guaranteed, or if you wish to repeat the session, your workbook is your free pass for up to a year. I quit smoking for nearly five years the first time; it was great. Unfortunately I started again at a party, and you just can’t slip up even once, or your old habits can come flooding back instantly. Be smart, let it work if you really want to quit, and don’t touch any tobacco ever again! Recommended for anyone wanting to quit who’s ready to quit. It works if you let it and do as they say. Cheers.

Got sent to attend one of his seminars through work a while back. He's a good speaker, and I found the talk to give a little oomph to my motivation.

I find the cds are very relaxing. The more you listen to them the more you want to feel good, eat good. The messages pop into your mind automatically reinforcing good healthy messages

Attended the seminar with Jeff. Well structured and professionally done. I was especially interested in the instruction on how muscle normally uses sugar, fat and cholesterol and how that process has been short circuited by modern eating habits. Everyone should be taught this!

Seminar with Jeff today 7/13/19 . Learned so much, mostly old school but made great sense. I feel now that I will have a great start in my ongoing battle to loose weight!

Larry was a great seminar leader. He kept everything moving and ended when he said it would. He really made the seminar pleasurable. The location was very convenient for me. Supplements cost more than I can afford but there could be a benefit to them.

Last night Jeff shared his story on the importance of losing weight. Jeff gave a great educational and hypnosis session. One lady was so sleep I had to tap on her leg seven times to come back to reality! My simple recommendations to improve it better would be have Jeff’s nephew introduce his Uncle by speaking on why he is the best in this business. Jeff should not lean on the table. I understand the motorcycle accident, consider a high back bar stool for the time in front of the group. You will be in control of the group and still have our attention. I have done many speaking engagements in front of large audiences and proper posture is key. Get your nephew to applaud in the beginning and the end to motivate others to do the same.

The quit smoking program has evolved over the past decade and a half to include preliminary educational information about the physiology of nicotine addiction and methods this company suggests can overcome the addiction aspect of tobacco use. Granted, they do offer an opportunity to purchase dietary supplements aimed at the physical aspects of nicotine addiction, but they clearly state the supplements are optional; there’s no hard sell on the supplements, they are offered as a recommended option, but still an option. The first hour or so is about all this and other suggestions for overcoming the physical and mental aspects of nicotine addiction. After a short break the hypnosis process begins. If you understand hypnosis and guided meditation, you will understand the autonomic suggestions offered during this process. Yes, they use negative reinforcement imagery like imagining licking a dirty ashtray. This is pretty standard fare for such suggestions aimed at the unconscious mind through mental imagery of negative associations to the idea of smoking. Not uncommon or unheard of in hypnosis and guided meditation arenas. Especially for breaking bad habits like nicotine addiction. Our presenter, Joel, was energetic, funny, experienced, and seemed to actually care about the people there. My first experience in this aspect of quitting smoking cigarettes worked for me; I was able to quit smoking cigarettes for nearly five years. Unfortunately I picked them up again so I tried this method again. This seminar was much better developed than the previous one I had success with. The information provided was very helpful and the sales pitch for the supplements was not overbearing; it was just another support option. The hypnosis was good, and effective; I am having success so far, and I feel confident that the provided reinforcement support CD will keep me on track. Additional support CDs are available for purchase at the seminar and your receipt grants admission to any subsequent seminar should you find the need or desire, even if just to attend with friends who want your success too. I would have rated this seminar a five except that as a disabled person, I should have insisted on a comfortable chair (my fault, not theirs), so my experience was only tarnished by my own lack of assertiveness in that regard. Otherwise, I would like to see the support CDs be considerably less expensive. I am familiar with production and replication of similar material and $25 per CD is excessive in my mind. Additionally, all support material in downloadable format on the website for a significant discount should be a 21st Century standard for certified attendees (IMHO). Cheers! Mitchell!
