Why Does My Brain Keep Treating Safe Things as Dangerous?
Your anxiety or phobia likely started as a protective mechanism – maybe a genuine bad experience, or your brain simply misfiring one day and deciding something was a threat. Now that false alarm keeps triggering automatically, flooding you with adrenaline when there’s nothing actually dangerous. Hypnotherapy helps reset that faulty alarm system.
Can Hypnotherapy Work for My Specific Anxiety or Phobia?
Whether it’s flying, needles, driving, social situations, contamination, enclosed spaces, or something more unusual – hypnotherapy can address it. The approach targets how your subconscious processes the fear, not the specific object or situation itself. Your therapist tailors the sessions to your particular triggers.
What If I’ve Had This Anxiety or Phobia for Decades?
Long-standing phobias aren’t harder to treat, they’re just more ingrained. Your brain has had years of practice running that fear response, so it needs time to learn a different pattern. Many people with lifelong fears experience significant improvement, though it might take slightly longer than recent phobias.
Will I Have to Directly Confront What I’m Afraid Of?
Not in the way you’re dreading. Hypnotherapy doesn’t involve forcing yourself to touch spiders, sit in elevators, or stand near your trigger whilst white-knuckling through it. Instead, you work with the fear in a deeply relaxed state, gradually desensitising your response whilst feeling safe and in control.
How Is This Different from Just Talking About My Fear?
You’ve probably already talked about your phobia extensively – and rationally, you know it’s irrational. That’s the problem: your logical brain understands, but your emotional brain hasn’t received the message. Hypnotherapy bypasses the logical part and communicates directly with the emotional centre where the fear actually operates.
What If My Anxiety Isn’t About One Specific Thing?
Generalised anxiety, health anxiety, constant worry, intrusive thoughts – hypnotherapy addresses these too. Rather than targeting a specific trigger, the sessions focus on reducing your overall threat sensitivity and teaching your nervous system to stay calmer. You’ll learn to interrupt anxious thought spirals before they escalate.
