Hi Sam,
So far, my hypnosis techniques have been very successful, but then again, I just opened my practice a month ago. I am very encouraged by the results I've had so far.
I think I have been lucky with great clients so far. From what I understand, it is not uncommon for Hypnotherapists to get an 80-90% success rate in stopping smoking.
I have only worked with one weight loss client so far, and she lost about 5 lbs in a little over a week. Not too bad.
I actually focus on helping my client change their view of eating, and then reinforce it with hypnosis.
Hope that helps.
