Client With Cancer
Dear John,
I have to thank you again for all the help you've given me during my cancer treatments. Helping me adjust my attitude and
get over the panic the diagnosis of cancer gives you went a long way in helping me cope.
I'm about to start the fifth of seven cycles of chemotherapy and I've never been sick once. (In four months!) I feel well.
In fact I go to work every day.
Even my doctor and the nurses at the University of Chicago are impressed. They ask me how I'm managing so well so they
can pass the information on to other patients. I gave them your card. They thought going to a hypnotherapist was a great idea.
Thank you again for helping make my life so livable during this trying time.
Every day in every way I'm getting better and better.
Sincerely,
L. B.
A Poem By L. B.
Are you all mixed up? Can’t get a grip?
Your every thought is grave
You’ve problems by battalions
And your inner child just won’t behave
You think too much, You drink too much,
You’re scared to death, You’re fat!
It’s all too much to handle
How do you cope with that?
You need a hypnotherapist, a fellow with a plan
Well friend, I’m here to tell you
John Cashman is your man!
Dental Problems
Dear John:
All fun aside, I do want to Thank You for the CD you sent me before I went to the dentist. When I was
all done with the pulling of all my teeth and new dentures in place, I said I really didn't think the CD did me any
good, you just laughed. In hind sight you were right to laugh, because it really did help me with healing, pain and
the swelling. I had no REAL bad pain, the swelling was minute and I was on my way to healing in under a week.
When I went in I was scared out of my pants, but I did it with the help of your CD and remembering to touch my index
finger and thumb saying "I can do this, calm down, relax," I did it John with your help. Thank you.

Preparing For Surgery Recording
John,
I just wanted to say thanks for helping _____ through the ventilator bit and let you know how much the tape you gave him
for his shoulder surgery is helping him now. When I got there this morning (Sunday) he was hurting real bad because he didn't
ask for pain medicine like he should have. He was kind of shaking and pale. He had to go to the bathroom real bad and he wanted
to wait for me. Men! So once he got his pain medication, went to the bathroom and then settled in, I had him listen to his
after surgery tape. I could just see him relaxing. He almost fell over listening to it. He felt much better afterwards and
I left it for him to listen to tonight after I left and he said he would. The nights are tough for him because he hates being
there and the nurses have 9 patients each so he doesn't get the individual care he got spoiled with in the CSU. He was tired
today since he had a bad night, but he rested good today after I took him for a ride in his wheelchair and showed him where
his surgery was, where we waited for him, where _____ was snoring so loud we had to cover him with a blanket to muffle the
sound and then I took him to see his CSU nurse who got kind of attached to him and told him to come see her in CCU if she
wasn't in CSU today. She makes him feel better because she gives off the confidence of experience and was an absolute lifesaver
when she took care of him for 2 days in the CSU. She instantly knew how to handle him (even though she did throw a pillow
at him for nagging her about smoking only 2 days after his surgery). The surgeon was in today and was very impressed with
his progress. He said he is ahead of schedule but that he shouldn't push himself. He really isn't. He's just got the right
frame of mind and is doing everything they tell him to do.
Well thanks again. It's really helping him.

Shy Client
hello
Yeah doing good actually been out meeting people going up to them myself pretty cool . kind of amazing, 2 people
I really wanted to meet and was afraid, they
turned out to be very nice. The one actually look very intimidating but says
he isn't and is actually shy so if I didn't go up to him then never would have met.
My main focus now is nothing else
but a job 100% focus and maybe can work on that getting the nerve to call some of these places I guess union jobs since spring
is
here. I was hoping for something else but it's not happening. So I don't know, if I do another session that would have to
be the focus.
let me know about this week sorry I didn't get back
to you sooner

Long Distance Stress Client
I’m going to continue to listen to the CD. I do it just before I go to bed, and I’m so relaxed that I go right
to sleep. And I don’t ache all over when I get up. One thing that I am curious about, though. I don’t feel like
I’m hypnotized, just really relaxed. I’m aware of my surroundings. I have had no desire to open my eyes until
you say so and I haven’t even tried. What do you think?

More from Stress Client
Before you open the attached picture, I have to tell you this story.
Just before I started doing your CD, someone had sent me a collection of special photos in an email. The first time that
I used your CD and you mentioned the place at the end of the stairway, this picture popped into my mind. The next day, I dug
the email out of my delete folder and copied this picture to my hard drive. I now have an icon on my desktop that I can click
at any time to see this picture and it’s the place that I always picture when I do a session.
Now here’s the thing, it never dawned on me to send it to work. However, I had my work computer re-imaged last week
and lost my Webshots application. I reinstalled it yesterday. Today, webshots was in screen saver mode and as I turned around
to my computer, there is this same picture. When you install Webshots, it gives you a sampler collection and this was in the
sampler. I said, “Wow! Now I can look at my own peaceful place while I’m at work!” Who’s hand do you
think was in that?
And here’s the other thing, this photo is a picture of the Snake River and the Grand Teton National Forest, the same
place that my Lakota (Sioux) ancestors roamed. One of other things that I find very relaxing is to listen to my Lakota music.
Is it all coincidence? I don’t think so.
Now you can open the picture. Enjoy!

From a Student at College Lecture
I am one of Ms. ________ students and I am writing you to say thank you for taking the time to come and share your wisdom
with our class. I found it very interesting and very helpful. I did pick up the movie you recommended. I can see why you bought
it. It is the kind of movie that you have to see more than once, because there’s a lot of valuable information in the
movie. I’m thinking of purchasing it for my son’s for Christmas.
I have enclosed the check for the 2 CD’s that I chose, Stress Management, and Controlling Anger. I am finding both
of them very helpful in my quest to be stress free and handle anger and frustration better. I told some family and friends
about you and they also found it very interesting . If I or anyone that I know who may be interested in your services or CD’s,
I will share your number with them. I am sure you will hear from me again in the future.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family. May God Bless You With Great Success
Sincerely,
L H.
Came to Improve Golf Game
Prior to my leaving I seem to have found a certain rhythm or tempo, some improvement
to be sure. Haven't played since my return to the Land of Nuts and Fruits, will get out
next week and will utilize the CD and my meditational music as well.

PS: Upon my next visit home to Chicago I will get away for a weekend at a golf
academy, summer of 07', we will schedule another session prior to that venture
focusing on MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL approach, passivity as I refer to it!
