Terry Elston

[Danny]

has anyone heard of him?

what can you tell me about him and his training?

are his students as good as he claims to be?

[Unregistered]

i think he is an nlp/time line therapy hypnotherapist. does courses in the UK but i think he has been to America too. he seems to be very good at what he does and very well trained. but i have not been able to find anything about his clients or his success rates or anything like that.

not sure how his students are. or how qualified they are. but i know he seems to be highly respected in nlp and all that.

I know Terry very well. In fact I worked with him and set up his company. I no longer work with him but we are still good friends.

He runs a successful NLP training company in Brighton UK.

What exactly do you want to know?

ah right cool.

well a friend of mine with severe anxiety problems is going to be seeing him but not having treatment by him.

she is having treatment by one of his students (now fully qualified i believe) in brighton next week.

i am worried for her and so wanted to get some feedback.

apparently it is a day that is free and some clients (including my friend) get the chace to be treated.

i would go with her to this if i could but i have got plans which i cannot change.

Terry Elston sounds like a pretty experienced guy. but you can surely understand my worry that although he will be there my friend is going to be treated by someone who does not know her problems and who, in a way, are inexperienced.

i suppose this post is about getting reasurrence that she is going to be ok. she would kill me if she knew i was asking you this but i worry about her.

You say you are worried.
What are you worried might happen?
You ask for reassurance that she is going to be "ok." Unfortunately, I can't answer that. You see, your concept of what might be "ok" could be vastly different from hers.

Is it possible that you have some sort of relationship with her (friend, lover, student, family, etc.) and that you are worried not for her, but that if she changes she might not see you in the same way as before? I regret to say that I cannot reassure you that only one part of her--what you describe as "severe anxiety problems" (whatever that might mean)--will change. When one aspect of a person changes, usually the entire person changes, too.

From what I have read above, she is going to a competent person. Relax and watch her bloom. Go along with her on her new path. If you do this she will be strong and your relationship with her, whatever that might be, may become even stronger.

thanks,

im not involved with her or anything, we are just very good friends and i know this has been the hardest time of her life and she has felt suicidal and cannot stand feeling so scared of every, anything, nothing and herself!

i just find that it is a bit odd that she is going to see a practioner who is new to these skills (ok, trained by this Terry Elston guy) but she has real bad problems but this is the best she can find.

i am scared that she is going to feel worse.

[Don]

Respectfully, you are involved with her--you're her "very good friend."

Stay with her and support her while she gets better and better and you will be friends for life.

but i suppose what i am really wanting to know is are Terry Elstons students going to be able to help her?

what happens if her problems are too bad?

could they make it worse with their lack of experiences?

"but i suppose what i am really wanting to know is are Terry Elstons students going to be able to help her?"

How do you realistically expect an intelligent answer here? We dont know the student, was he an "A" student, a "C" student, or is he a dropout? You might more realistically direct this question to Mr Elston.


"what happens if her problems are too bad?"

Is it possible for her to be worse off, with or without competent treatment, most assuredly yes. Will it happen in this caes, who knows?

"could they make it worse with their lack of experiences?"

Yes they could, it could also work out beautifully. We simply dont have enough information to give you an informed opinion.
