From trainees/students of the 'Changing Limiting Beliefs' training programme:
Dear Rob
After suffering terribly from M.E. for 14 years, I am totally amazed to be writing to you today, to tell you that it is now completely gone!
I have taken charge of my thoughts and beliefs, and cured myself! Thank you so much for sharing your 'limiting beliefs' technique with me - I am now the person I always knew that I could be. My husband, my family and my GP can't believe - but that is their 'limiting belief'.
Thank you Rob, so very much.

PS I hope you get this in time to add to your book!
Emily Felgate - London
On my first visit I sat waiting and I read your thank you cards from other clients which I found inspirational.
From that moment, I decided that I to wanted to be another one of your success stories.
Well here I am doing just that!
As you probably remember I would often come into your room with tears in my eyes but within minutes you had me giggling and not once did I leave without a smile on my face and little by little feeling more empowered with every session.
I was a very anxious, nervous person with low self esteem. I was hoping you would wave a magic wand and make it all disappear, but you soon made me realise it was something I had to do for myself, I took everything you said on board even if at times a little skeptical.
After you taught me the dream technique I put it into to practice straight away, at first it was incredibly hard because I had spent so long stuck in a negative and obsessive frame of mind but after a few sessions with you and using my own massive determined effort it started to really work and it made my confidence grow even more knowing I had the power to change my negative thoughts.
I am now so much better, I am having fun again, laughing lots, going out with friends and filling my life with lots of positive and happy things.
My family are so pleased at what you have helped me to achieve in such a short time.
Your humour and positive personality are infectious and I feel I have spent my sessions chatting with a friend not a therapist.
Thank you for helping me find a more positive and confident me
Gemma Dawson - Consulting for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
I hired the services of Richard Brent and ELK Hypnotherapy back in November 2009 at the end of the worst and best year of my life.
I had come off an extremely hard year having lost my job and my confidence along with a ridiculous amount of money. I couldn’t get back on my feet no matter what tried. I was failing ridiculously to establish a relationship with the countless numbers of women I had been “serial” dating. I couldn’t get either my personal life or my professional life to work out. Thankfully after I hired the help of Richard within a few sessions I had started to rapidly turn things around in my favour.
Since my initial consultations with Richard I not only started seeing and successfully establishing a long term relationship with the girl of my dreams I have established a confident and aggressive CV which is now getting me multiples of interviews for the jobs I want ! I can’t thank Richard enough and if the last three months are anything to go by 2010 is going to be amazing!!!
Thanks again Richard!

I cant believe how different I am now to what I was 18 months ago. I went to see Rob because I had a fear of sickness (Emetophobia) and as he soon noticed when he met me I also had a very low opinion of myself. It wasn't easy talking about myself but he really did have a very good way of putting people at ease, takes his work very serious but he has a very relaxed humorous way with people. After a few visits to his clinic he tried to assure me that my phobia had gone, I wonted to believe this but couldn't as I needed proof. Little did I realise proof was there. Sat on a plane this year relaxed didn't think about feeling air sick, noticed I was agreeing to go out more,tried different foods without thinking twice about it. The very best of proof was a short stay in hospital, not only me being sick but others around me and I COPED it was a FANTASTIC feeling even though I felt cr*p I could smile because at last I believe the phobia had gone.
I have to say when I last saw Rob I still had a couple of tears in my eyes and that was because I still didn't feel good about myself so Rob introduced me to his dream technique, now that really has changed me, it was difficult putting it into practise at first and I remember Emailing Rob moaning it wasn't working and his usual patients shone through and he told me to keep trying as it will work, and believe me it does, I'v gone from using the dream about 20 times a day to just now and again if I feel I'm being negative about anything. Both friends and family have noticed the change in me and its all thanks to one fantastic man, Rob Kelly. Keep the good work going Rob.

Dear Cara. Happy New Year to you. Just to let you know that the wedding went brilliant - lots of family problems etc on the day but I did the Dream
Technique which worked brilliantly. Thank you.
Same with the seaplane - I actually enjoyed it and it was nothing to worry
about at all....
Annmarie - London, treated for wedding day nerves and fear of flying.
After spending nearly all of my teenage and adult years experiencing constant depression, anxiety and insomnia, I am shocked, stunned and thrilled to now be in a place where this has almost entirely disappeared. I was taught how to use DREAM technique as a way of lifting my mood and discovered how easily it can work. Instead of facing each day with panic, I can now deal with problems both large and small. I believe I will use this technique for the rest of my life
"Ms B" - Basingstoke, Hampshire
Rob's DREAM Technique has enabled me to identify and change negative
thoughts and beliefs into positive ones. Consequently, I have found myself
approaching many things in a more confident way. Since beginning to use
this technique, I have, also, found that I am much less anxious, have a
better understanding of myself and feel a lot happier and more in control.
Before going to see Rob, I wouldn't have really believed that the critical
way in which I tended to view myself was having such a limiting effect on
my life, nor that it would be possible to easily alter that! I would
certainly recommend Rob's DREAM Technique!

Dear Rob
Having flown many times is my life i can say that each time the experience for me had got worse.The fear is very hard to decribe.The build up to the holiday i would be very stressed and anxous,looking at planes in the sky thinking oh my god why did i agree to go on holiday.
On the morning of the holiday i would have several vodkas (im not even a drinker) but i would still be a nervous wreck when boarding.Id try not to let anyone see how i felt as i didnt want to look stupid.In my eyes the flight i was getting on was going to be the worst ever flight.Once on holiday i was never fully relaxed as i knew i had to get on a plane to get home.
I had met Rob a few times at friends parties.Having booked my summer holiday for August 2008 I decided to book a session with Rob and try to get myself sorted out.In the back of my mind i was sceptical about what he could do for me but i had to give it a go.
After the session with Rob i felt that he had changed my life.During the session Rob spoke to me and soon described my personality down to a t.Everything he told me about myself i could relate to.He then put me in a very relaxed place and talked to me about my fear.After leaving the session i felt like a different person.Not only did he cure my fear of flying he made think more positive about life.
On the morning of my holiday i didnt feel my usual stressed out state.Take off was always my biggest fear but on this occasion i thought about all the positive things that Rob had told me.This was the first take off that i have looked over at my husband and children smiling rather than crying.The rest of the flight went well and on landing i felt so pleased with myself.I was totally relaxed on holiday as coming home was not an
issue.I can honestly say i could fly tomorrow and it would not worry me.I think
Rob is a very special and clever man and i will always be gratefull to him.

Hi Rob,
I hope that you're keeping well.
I realised that I was meant to call you last week however thought I would drop you an e-mail for now. Since we last met, as discussed, I have been applying your DREAM technique and beating the demons. To date I am pleasantly surprised at the outcome. My anxiety prior to driving has considerably subsided and whilst before I would dwell on it for hours on end, since applying DREAM the negative thoughts have started to diminish which has undoubtedly increased my confidence behind the wheel. I have also found that the frequency of the negative thoughts are decreasing. I have travelled short distances on the motorway feeling more confident and will write again when I travel further. In addition, I have found myself being less angry in relation to small matters which would have bothered me i.e., Ian not cleaning the kitchen or coming home late from work. I thought this was the norm however now that I have a different positive approach I can certainly recognise it wasn't.I will continue to apply the technique and hopefully next time I will be able to report further developments. The day I left your office, I made a promise not to be scared anymore and since that day life began to change! Thank you.Furthermore, When that little devil on my shoulder rears it's ugly head, I tell it to shut the fu.k up!
Kind Regards

I was suffering very badly from ME for over 20 years, and it was ruining my life. I had tried everything to get better, and nothing worked. I then came across The Rob Kelly Technique, and it has transformed my life. I rarely get the ME symptoms anymore, and when I do, they don’t last as long, or get as bad, as they used to.
Paul Ostryn
From Practitioners who have attended the 'Changing Limiting Beliefs' Seminar:
I can honestly say that this is the best course I've attended. It was truly inspirational and I came away feeling really enabled and confident. I started putting the technique into practice with clients straight away with excellent results. This technique has really given me the skills to help not only clients with M.E. etc, but so many others. The course content was easy to understand and put into practice. My true 'light bulb' moment came the first time I tried the technique with a client and had a real breakthrough after their last couple of sessions had been spent going round in proverbial circles. If you only do one course this year this has to be it! Thanks again Rob.

I have just returned from Rob Kelly's Limiting Beliefs seminar and I would recommend it to any therapist that deals with clients who present with any debilitating illness. The weekend was great fun and most informative. I learned a great deal about how to help clients who are seemingly 'stuck' in a merry go round of chronic illness such as ME, PVS and CFS. The course is geared towards self help for these people and postive thinking. You will learn so much about the typical personality traits of such clients and how to help them deal with their illness and help them change their belief system. Rob is a dynamic and innovative individual with a presentation style which is unique.
Pat Harland MIAPH - www.harlandhypnotherapy.co.uk
I just wanted to say how truly inspirational I found the course at the weekend. I feel that as a therapist I now have a fantastic additional tool in my arsenal to assist clients. The delivery was, as always, exceptional and really left me wanting to know more about the symptoms and effective treatment of ME, PVF and CFS.
I literally started using it with clients the next day.
Cheers Rob
James Holmes - www.hampshire-health.co.uk
The two day residential course for 'Changing limiting beliefs' was, for me extremely useful. I have two clients, who although they had undergone a successful analysis were still questioning some aspects of their presenting problems. I was able to apply the procedure I learned on the course for these people, resulting in their learning to check and understand more clearly, their own thought process. This meant they had a greater understanding of self and therefore more control in aiding their own recovery.
The underlying characteristics of some personalities, and quite rightly so, predispose them to question and analyse their thoughts in a critical way. This new procedure can help them to stop 'being mean' to themselves and to use their ability in a positive rather than a negative way.
It is a really useful and simple way to help me to help my clients find relief, and this can only be good.

Many thanks for the course found it really inspiring and motivating to move things along in a structured manner to help so many more people. First class manual and very helpful. Everyone i spoke to said how much they were enjoying the course.
Rita Brown
Although the course was developed with ME suffers in mind, I am applying the techniques with many other problems that I am being consulted for, with excellent results. As with all your courses, the weekend was not only informative and interesting but great fun too.
Philip Blake - www.hypnotherapy.je
Rob Kellys "Challenging Limiting Belief Systems" is a course which ALL therapists should attend. The content opens up a whole new dimension to the thinking process, not only for those difficult to treat clients, but also for our own personal belief systems. The course was at times emotive but presented by Rob, in a caring, humorous and direct manner. The two days included interactive learning through therapists own personal distorted thinking, plus a detailed life experience of a past ME sufferer. An absolutely brilliant course.
Anne Costelloe. London
I just wanted to say thank you for the Changing Beliefs course - it's filled in a gap in our therapy that meant we couldn't help clients who were unable (usually because they were'nt motivated) to go through hypnoanalysis and given us a fantastic new way to get round the hurdles and resistance put up by analysis clients too.
The two days were certainly challenging to someone who believes so wholeheartedly in analysis, but it just made sense and its been helping me since I came back to work to really get through to clients who might otherwise have either left therapy or not managed to resolve their problems.
I'm already incorporating the techniques when I'm working with children and young adults too - one area that I felt we were'nt doing enough at times; with really good results.
I'd say this was just a very important course and will be coming back for a refresher and to pick your brains.

Hi Rob,
I would just like to say a big "THANK YOU". Since attending your 'changing limiting belief systems' course in December i have had fantastic results with my clients, some of whom would never have got through therapy without me using the techniques i learnt on the course
Thanks again
Vikki Heath
Just to say officially that the workshop on Changing Belief Systems was really great. I am finding that I can use the concepts we covered on a regular basis : during initial consultations, for suggestion therapy, and as a final debriefing after a course of pure hypnoanalysis. Tomorrow I plan to incorporate elements of it into a Blowaway ............... love the plank walking !!!
Thank you Rob for your dedication, hard work and inspirational weekends............... humour's pretty good too.
Julia Chrisfield - Hypnotherapist
When I first attended Rob’s course I was a bit sceptical on whether the simplicity of
his unique methods would actually work in real life. However I was proven to be wrong! They just didn’t work ... they totally transformed the life of one client, who was totally obsessed with negativity, yet within a few days of applying the Rob Kelly Changing Limiting Beliefs Technique™, she is now living a very happy, positive life AND has totally turned her life around! So, thanks for sharing your unique methods ..if they can convert a sceptic like me they can help any therapist train their most negative clients to become more powerful in their choices!”
Cheers mate ...

Hi Rob
Thanks for an excellent course, I don’t think I’ve ever been on a course that has helped to put everything into context. The understanding that I now have about why the unavoidable problems encountered in analysis occur and the provision of a powerful solution makes the course invaluable to the analytical process. Having had a couple of weeks to get to grips with where it fits in practically, I am happy to say that my confidence has increased and surprise surprise so has my client list. Thank you.

An absolutely essential technique which will fill the gap for those people with the types of problems who are either unwilling or unable to go through 'Pure' Hypnoanalysis. Also, parts of it can be used with almost any client, if need be, to round off their therapy especially if they are finding it hard to let go of their old thought or behaviour patterns despite having completed hypnoanalysis. How did we manage without it?
Beaula Page, Hypnotherapist
Rob has successfully combined the knowledge from a number of psychological and self help disciplines into a useful and practical whole, without psychobabble or dogma. The new techniques he has developed can be use with any client, particularly those that in the past would have been described as difficult or impossible to treat. Like many truly great ideas, once it is understood, it is simple and easy to use.
Rob Smith, Hypnotherapist
Having taken both the Smoking and Changing limiting beliefs online courses I’d like to say that I found them excellent.
I have also attended several live courses and, apart from the opportunity to stick your hand up and ask a question, the session videos included in the courses allow you to feel as though you were there at the time. In other words, it works really well.
I would recommend the online material to anybody who has not had the opportunity to attend the courses.
If you never ask a question at the seminars anyway, the online experience is as good as being there at the time!
