Fears and Phobias
Fears and phobias are usually one of the easiest issues to resolve
using hypnosis. Usually in only one session, your hypnotist can help
you find the cause of your fear and lead you through techniques to resolve
it. The transformation that occurs through this process is life-changing
for many people who have been plagued by fear for much of their life.
Terri's Story
Terri had a fear of enclosed spaces. She was terrified of being in a
room with no windows, elevators, even of riding in the back seat of
a car. Life for Terri was ridden with fear that she didn't want, or
understand. Terri's husband brought her in to see me. It was a huge
leap of faith for Terri to walk into my office, since it had low lighting
and no windows. She wanted change.
We traced back Terri's fear to a time when she was about 4 years old.
Her brother was always taunting her and playing tricks on her…she remembered
a time when he had wrapped her in a blanket and put her in the dresser
drawer, then closed it and left her there. She couldn't move, she couldn't
breathe and she panicked. After screaming for what seemed like a lifetime,
her sister came to her rescue, but from that time on she was deathly
afraid of small spaces. Her subconscious mind thought that if she were
confined like that again, that she might die, and that fear was ever
present in her mind.
After the session, Terri's husband wanted to see if the hypnosis worked.
Terri told him she could tell the fear was gone, she felt different,
but he wanted to really test it. He took her to a hotel and had her
ride in the elevator. She had no anxiety, no fear whatsoever. So he
took her home. He was amazed at the instant changes in her behavior.
At home, he convinced her to go into the attic, then locked her in.
She was fine; in fact, she told him that she could stay there for hours.
Terri's life has changed dramatically. She no longer has to refrain from drinking liquids while she's out because she can't go into a public bathroom. She can ride in any car without fear. She knows that she can handle any situation without that gripping fear.
