Frequently asked questions

Does hypnosis work for phobias?

Many people find hypnotherapy helpful for specific phobias, often used to lower the fear response to a particular trigger. It is commonly combined with gradual exposure.

A single, specific phobia is often worked on in just one to four sessions, though this varies by person.

Is it safe?

Yes, with a trained practitioner. You stay aware and in control the whole time, despite what stage shows suggest.

Can I do it online?

Yes. Phobia work can be done over video, and your practitioner will adapt the approach.
