"Thank you, Mrs. Belzer, for your wonderful book, 'The Five-Minute Therapist.' I have found this book easy to read, the exercises clearly set forth, and the illustrations very helpful.

I used the chapter on weight loss, did the 'd' exercise for 21 days -- and lost weight! Unfortunately, I became ill, was hospitalized, and was on a medication that caused some weight gain. I am now back on track and have started the 21 days again -- and am losing weight once more. My eating habits have changed, and I am eating less and still feeling satisfied.

I am also quitting smoking at the same time. I ahve been a 3-pack a day smoker for more than 40 years. I am now down to about 5 cigarettes a day. One day recently as I was reaching for a cigarette, I put it back because I heard YOUR voice running through my mind: 'I have pride and control.' I wanted to let you know that although this is the positive reinforcement you use for weight control, I find it's helping with my no smoking effort. In fact, it's almost become a mantra. I find myself repeating it many times each day.

Again, thank you for such a wonderful book!"

Sincerely,
Sandy McLaughlin

"I met with Joan Belzer shortly after the death of my Mother. As executrix of her estate, I had many instructions that were directly opposed to my siblings' desires. As a result, I was faced with a series of hideous circumstances I was unprepared for. Through Joan's consultation, follow-up call, her suggested program for me, and her wonderful book, I was given a needed set of tools to find peace and to cope. With many things, it often gets worse before it gets better and in the case of settling my Mother's estate, it has indeed gotten worse. I often refer to Joan's book and find help within. I've started another round of daily affirmations and let's give a cheer for the fabulous figure 8."

Thanks,

"Mainly through curiosity, I had a session with Joan…she gave me a writing assignment to complete over the next few weeks…[that]…had to do with a relationship situation… Over the next several months I lost 35 pounds and so far, have kept it off… I'm very grateful to Joan for this gift."

"I introduced the margin/lined paper technique to my seventh and eighth grade students in January, 2005…After a couple of weeks I started to notice some changes. The first thing I noticed was the atmosphere was a lot calmer in my room…They also began to show more respect to me."

"To the Administration, Canyon Ranch, Tucson, AZ:

I wish to further comment of my very positive experiences during my week with you in November and the first week of December 2007.

My attendance at the lecture and private session with Mrs. Joan Belzer, Certified Graphologist, was a highlight of my trip. I have been performing exercises she taught me and because of her concepts and follow-up phone conversations with me I have noted positive changes not only in my handwriting but life's attitudes. I'm also using some of these exercises with my deaf son who's teaching these exercises to his deaf students to allow calming and inner harmony. I'm also using some of these exercises with my grandchildren and find they are also experiencing calming.

She is a remarkable woman and teacher and I believe an asset to your organization.
