Previous experiences had left me with a terrible fear of any form of dentistry, even entering a dental surgery in the past would make me break out in a sweat.I kept putting off visiting the dentist, until I met Flora, who recommended hypnotherapy could help me overcome the fear and anxiety I associate with dental treatment.
I had a hypnotherapy session with Ian Jackson, Flora’s resident hypnotherapist. He hypnotised me, and when I came round, I felt very relaxed, and amazingly, all the anxiety I had walked in with had disappeared. It was a surreal experience.
There is lavender burning in the room where I was hypnotised. I routinely use lavender some nights before I go to bed, and this helps me to relax. So the lavender burning in the relaxation room will definitely have contributed to the relaxed, heavy feeling I had while under hypnosis. I felt no discomfort during the treatment, and the healing process caused me no discomfort at all. I was so impressed, I would highly recommend it to anyone who requires dental treatment, and previous not so pleasant experiences have rendered them ‘dental phoebes’ I would happily visit the dentist again. If I needed any further dental treatment, I would definitely have the hypnosis to help me relax. I immediately became a member of the Covent Garden Dental Spa. I pay a monthly direct debit of £18.00 per month, which entitles me to 2 free dental exams, 2 free hygiene sessions. As I am now committed, I will have no excuses to put off any dental appointments in the future.
