Can You Really Eliminate a Fear?

Most people who call my office to eliminate a fear at Plymouth Hypnosis Center usually ask the same question, “Can you help me eliminate my fear of _____________ ?” The answer is yes and no.

So, okay, that’s not the best answer, but let me explain…

Fears are there for a reason. They are there to protect you. (You really don’t want to start a career of jumping out of planes, now do you?) But, it’s when the fear becomes a problem — when it affects your life — that it needs to be addressed.

And, in most cases, your fear can be reduced. Which goes back to my original answer: “yes and no”. Yes, the fear can be eliminated, but is that always so wise?

For instance, I get a lot of clients with the fear of bridges. They just can’t, for some odd reason, drive over a bridge without panicking. So, I can usually get them to “turn down” that fear, but we don’t want to “eliminate” it totally because you really want to be somewhat cautious while driving on a bridge. (You need to be aware of all of the drivers and what they are doing. You are able to drive without the fear, but you aren’t reckless about it.) However, the initial fear of driving over the bridge can be so reduced that it’s not a problem. Get it?

Usually, within just a few sessions, your fears will be so minimized that they won’t “get in your way”. Everybody’s happy.

Here’s a sample testimonial (just one of several HUNDREDS in my office) from a woman who was incredibly afraid of dogs:

No Longer Afraid of Dogs
