THERAPIST
REVIEWS
*Listed below are real letters from real people in the
Dallas Metroplex who have reached out to Ellen Simon for
therapy treatment & help for a wide array of issues
including: weight loss, anxiety, chronic pain, headaches,
smoking cessation, as well as other
ailments.
WEIGHT
LOSS
Fighting
my weight has been a life long endeavor. I've tried
everything from Richard Simmons to Jenny Craig, Medifast to
Atkins, Denise Austin to Billy Banks, all with short term
success and small weight loss success. In all of
these attempts, they gave me all the information I needed
to eat healthy and exercise, but they all missed the most
important tool you need for success in weight loss-
MOTIVATION!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I was younger there was always the short burst of
motivation, such as bathing suit weather, class reunion,
special occasions, and weight loss was much easier.
Now as I am getting older, the motivation is harder to get
excited about and the weight is much harder to get off and
keep off. Prior to you, I was in a major slump period in my
life. Stressful Job, bad relationship, and problems with an
aging parent. I was lethargic, not focused on myself,
feeling depressed, not being able to pull myself out of it,
bad eating habits, no exercise, no MOTIVATION!
Fortunately for me, I had a good Friend who had gone to Dr.
Saraiya for sleep apnea, he put her on a bi-pap at night
and it changed her life. He also wanted her to try a new
program he was involved in to help her quit smoking. My
friend informed me that this new program was also for
weight loss.I made my appointment in July 2006.
Four months later, I have lost 33 pounds, I jog everyday, I
have started swimming a couple of times a week, and I am
constantly aware of the fact that I need to be moving to
feel better and to continue to lose weight. I have no
desire for sweets, in the past that was a big problem for
me. I eat less, I am never ravenous, I am making healthy
food choices, I feel better than I have in years, and the
most amazing thing is, I seem to be able to do these things
without any real effort. The continual motivation is not
only convenient, but reduces any stress that I might
encounter through out the day. In my opinion, Ellen
has found the missing puzzle piece in all the programs that
are out there, whether it is weight loss, smoking, drugs or
alcohol. You have to have the MOTIVATION to keep you
focused on succeeding. You have been giving me back a
healthy life, that is a remarkable gift to give to anyone.
Gratefully yours,
--------Chris W.
CHILDHOOD ILLNESS of Unknown Origin
“My 10 year old daughter has been ill every 4-6 weeks since
she was 3 years old. She would develop a high fever with
fever blisters, vomit and become lethargic. She was missing
so much school that I was considering home schooling her
even though I have a full time job and three other
children. She has been to hundred’s of doctors and has
received every blood test and diagnostic procedure that
exists. Then six months ago I brought her to Ellen Simon.
Her method of using interactive guided imagery, hypnosis
and neurofeedback has corrected the problem. My daughter
has not been ill once since she learned the techniques to
connect to her own inner healer from Ellen Simon. I am
grateful to her for helping my daughter live a normal
life.”

SMOKING CESSATION
I
am happy to report that I am still a non-smoker thanks to
you. As you know, I have tried many programs, gimmicks, and
products, but was never successful. I still have craving
from time to time, but they are getting fewer and further
apart.
My health, endurance and overall feeling of wellness has
escalated because of the confidence your non-smoking
program has given to me, I’ve been able to tackle other
challenges in my life such as alcohol consumption and diet,
to name a few. People even tell me I look better.
I’m
so pleased our paths have crossed. You truly have helped me
to get more out of life. I have recommended your therapy to
others. Again I want to thank you for your help.

WEIGHT
LOSS
"I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you the
status of my progress over the past few weeks. As you
may remember, one of the issues that we discussed was my
desire to reduce the amount of diet Coke that I consumed on
a daily basis. I would like to express or "come
clean" about the real amount of diet Coke that I consumed
on an average day -- it would be very accurate to say I
drank approximately 4-5 gallons per day. Diet Coke
was the first thing I reached for in the morning and the
last thing I did before going to sleep. You NEVER saw
me without a diet Coke. This addiction has been going
on for 20 plus years. With this said... I am
happy to report (within a 10-day period of taking sessions
with you) I am down to approximately 12 oz. of diet Coke
per day! I would also like to mention that I am not
mad or anxious about the void of this in my daily
routine. I mention this because historically I have
experienced these mentioned emotions when I have tried to
cut back my consumption of diet Coke in the past.
This progress is truly effortless! Also you will be
happy to hear that I have lost 7 lbs. in this same window
of time. I do realize this will slow down, however,
this too has been without a struggle. I would also
like to mention I am sleeping like a "rock" and my getting
through the day with a much more clear thought
process. I'm keeping a journal of my daily progress
and thoughts. I'll keep you posted." THANKS AGAIN FOR
YOUR HELP! -------Charm

CHRONIC
PAIN
After sustaining a serious injury in 1996, and undergoing
three major surgeries, I have found that at times, dealing
with the stress, tension, anger, and depression that comes
with trying to cope with the constant pain to be
intolerable. I have tried allsorts of counseling to find
some way of dealing with the depression and hopelessness of
my situation, and it was not until I was introduced to
Ellen Simon, and her unique approach that I experienced
relief, direction and hope for my future. I recommend Ellen
Simon to anyone who needs help dealing with the
overwhelming issues related to chronic pain, and especially
to those for whom standard treatment has failed or has
proved disappointing. All that is needed is a willingness
and an open mind, and this method can work for you ,too.

TEST ANXIETY
"I
suffered from severe test anxiety. I would often have to
leave the room during a test because of overwhelming
feelings of dread, nausea, and distress. After two sessions
with Ellen Simon, I was able to pass my state board exam
with flying colors! I was so relaxed and at ease, it was as
if I were in my home preparing dinner. I was concerned at
first that it wouldn't work for me, because I am a strong
personality, but I see that being strong helps me to
achieve my goals. I listened to the tape every night before
my exam and it worked! I am now interested in other areas
of self-improvement using her method of guided imagery and
hypnosis."

LOWER
BLOOD PRESSURE
“It has been about four weeks since we had my session to
work on lowering blood pressure and eating smaller food
portions. My success has been outstanding. My blood
pressure reads 124/80 a lot of the time, without
medication. I have continued on the low fat, near
vegetarian diet, and am drinking lots of water.
Consequently, I am losing weight and being healthier. I had
previously received a stress thallium test come back
positive for heart blockage, but as of yesterday with a
heart catheterization dye test- all vessels were open and
fully functional with no problems.
I love your relaxation suggestions and the use of
visualization for stress relief. Ellen you did a great
job.”

TOURETTES
SYNDROME
My
eight year old son is battling Tourette’s Syndrome. Ellen
Simon and her method has been a godsend to him. Ellen Simon
has taught him breathing and relaxation techniques and most
importantly, to accept himself despite these challenges. By
utilizing Ellen’s expertise, my son is having great success
reducing the effects tics have on his day to day life. I am
so grateful to Ellen for providing my son with life skills
that will directly impact the quality of his life.

ILLNESS/
CANCER
Dear Ellen, I just wanted to thank you for the enormous
help that our guided imagery work has been to me so
far. Even in just a few short weeks, I have seen real
progress. I feel more attuned to my body and can
sense a channel of communication opening between my
subconscious and my conscious awareness. Our sessions
and your recorded sessions on
CD have provided both deep relaxation and exciting
insights into the nature of healing. Acute Leukemia
is a daunting disease, but I feel much less helpless with
you in my corner! As you know, my intent is to
continue this work with you beyond remission. I've
been recommending it to everyone I know as well! I
look forward to seeing you on Wednesday. Best
Regards,
------Melissa
HEADACHE
Before
receiving Ellen Simon’s treatment, I didn’t notice my
headaches until they would just hit me, and it would be so
painful it was difficult to concentrate at school or even
think. Before I met Ellen Simon, I had to take medicine to
get rid of my headaches, now I can get rid of them by just
relaxing and breathing.
