Timeline Therapy
Revisiting the moment a pattern was installed and giving that younger self what was missing then.
The originating event is revisited safely and stored without its charge.
Hypnotherapy for Phobias
Hypnotherapy for phobias — flying, needles, heights, dogs, driving, enclosed spaces.
How We See It
A phobia is a single learned association, often installed in one moment, that the body has been faithfully reproducing ever since. Because the structure is simple, phobias are among the most responsive things hypnosis addresses.
We locate the installing moment, drain the charge from it, and rehearse the new response until the body has a different default.
What People Usually Describe
- —The reaction is immediate and out of proportion to the situation
- —You can trace it to an event, or to nothing at all
- —Your life has quietly reorganized to avoid the trigger
- —Knowing it is irrational changes nothing
How We Make the Change
Anchoring
Attaching a calm, resourceful state to a physical cue you can use in the moment you need it.
A calm state is conditioned and then tested against the trigger.
Future Pacing
Rehearsing the new response in the exact situations where the old one used to run.
The flight, the appointment or the drive is rehearsed start to finish with the new response.
Common Questions
How many sessions?
Often one to three for a single specific phobia.
Will you make me confront it?
Never without your consent, and never at a pace you have not set.
