Introduction

People always ask me what type of problems I treat. Many want help with Restless Leg Syndrome. Here is a testimonial written by a client who needed help with RLS.

Here is a helpful link for anyone suffering from "Restless Legs Syndrome" (especially if they live in the Southern California area). The Southern California RLS Support Group, established by a colleague of mine, Dr. Mark Buchfurer.

Douglas R. Chesner Sr., CCHT

Darleen

Hi, my name is Darleen. I had a session with Doug just over 2 months ago and I am still amazed at what he was able to do for me. I met Doug on the internet and I was very intrigued when Doug told me he was a hypnotherapist. We talked over the next 3 or 4 weeks about his hypnotherapy work and whether he could help me.

At the time I met Doug, I was going through a great deal of work-related stress. I also suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) and for as long as I can remember have always had trouble falling asleep. It usually took me between 11/2 to 3 hours to fall asleep and there were many nights when I would fall asleep only to hear the alarm go off after only an hour or two.

I have never been able to completely relax my body or my mind and to relax them both at the same time was quite simply impossible for me to do! I was very skeptical and sure that the hypnotherapy wouldn't work but Doug just kept telling me that HE COULD AND HE WOULD and that he would prove it to me (I was thinking "ha! ha!" and he was thinking "hee hee") The stress I was feeling at work was increasing my inability to sleep and I finally said to myself, "What have I got to lose?" We pencilled in a date and decided on Complete Body/Mind Relaxation as the topic for our first session.

Doug was well aware of the fact that I didn't think anyone could really hypnotize me and he spent the first part of the session explaining what he was going to do and what I might feel. At the end of the session Doug showed me how to hypnotize myself so we could see if I could fall asleep quickly. I have to confess that I really wasn't 100% convinced that I would be able to fall asleep THAT easily and I am still totally amazed that it did work and that it continues to work to this very day! There are many times when I feel the self-hypnosis isn't working -- that I am not going to fall asleep - and then I wake up and realize I had fallen asleep in 15-20 minutes. What a feeling that is and continues to be! I can drink coffee right up until I go to bed and still fall immediately to sleep. When the twitching and restlessness kicks in from the RLS, I can just hypnotize myself and I am asleep in no time!

For those of you out there who know exactly what I am talking about, I urge you to please contact Doug and let him help you as he has helped me. I can't recommend him highly or often enough! I am still amazed that even after 2 months, I am still able totally relax my mind and body so I can fall asleep quickly.

I truly believe that Doug can help you with any problem you have no matter what it is. If you have insomnia, any kind of fear you want to overcome, want to quit smoking or lose weight, need relief from depression or pain, let Doug help you because I know he can!!!

Thank you Douglas Chesner… From a truly happy client!
