Sedona Method® Testimonials

People Pleaser

I felt that my biggest problem was that I don't trust men. I had no idea how to tackle this problem. After 3 days of doing releasing exercises, I suddenly realized that the problem isn't men, it's MY constant search for approval. By releasing on my need for approval I am already removing myself from these emotionally draining situations.

People Pleaser

People Pleasing was my way of compensating for my own low self-esteem. It was obvious to everyone but me. After the dispair of deep loss in my life, I found The Sedona Method and first the dispair went away and then I regained my self-esteem by understanding how I lost it. The Method worked so well, far better than my therapist.

I Am Now Able To Not Feel I Need To Please (Others) Or Justify Myself

People Pleaser

I normally have experienced various levels of stress and anxiety in interpersonal relations. During and after the course I experienced the ability to relate to other people without the anxiety and stress. I am now able just to experience myself in the moment and not feel I need to please or justify myself, or sound intelligent, or have the 'right answer.' I found I am able to let things be and not to react to others' anger or upset, and not to feel responsible for others' anger or upset or grief. By not reacting as I formerly did, I am able to communicate from my heart clearly and effectively.

An Opera Singer's Journey From Perfectionism to Personal Growth

People Pleaser

I found myself doing things and able to do things that I had put off, avoided or just forgotten about, in the most amazing ways. Almost immediately, and without really knowing why, I was being drawn to do so. It has been a rather strange experience to observe myself doing things or not doing things that I would have previously categorized as not in my nature. Like what? Like getting exercise and enjoying it, even craving it. Like wanting to eat good food. Like no longer feeling angry with my boss. Like not being bothered by someones disapproval of me. Like becoming a cheerful, even happy, person. Like being able to take and even relish criticism from a teacher, instead of resenting it. It is very odd, and that isnt even the half of it. The biggest changes have been in how I perceive things. I am an opera singer, and, in the past, I have been driven by the need to prove myself to the world and have often felt that this was a hopeless endeavor on some level. In a couple of weeks, my view of this has radically changed from one of perfectionism to one of personal growth, from criticism to self-acceptance and openness, even to the point of seeing my circumstances as good instead of an ordeal to be endured. This is not to say that all problems have vanished. They havent. I have changed.
