Yes, fear and hypnosis are more closely related than you think. After decades of hypnosis and trance practice, both privately and publicly, something became clear to me. Fear is hypnosis, and hypnosis is fear. Both are hypnotic trance states. Both are powerful tools. One created by the mind’s survival instincts, the other guided toward change. In both, the body reacts. The heart races. The focus narrows. But one traps, and the other frees.
Fear
People think hypnosis is mysterious. Wrong! But fear is the real hypnotist. It convinces you not to try, not to ask, not to move forward. It repeats itself over and over and over again like a script that you never agreed to but you perform it every day, anyway. It’s deep, subconscious, and persistent. It is just like a powerful suggestion given to you deep inside trance.
Hypnosis
When I guide someone through the process of hypnosis into a pleasant state of trance, inside my very private practice, we are not just creating the state of natural relaxation, reducing the suffering of daily stress and helping them feel incredibly good. We’re confronting, editing and changing the illusion of fear. We’re rewriting the old script, replacing it with clarity, ease, and sometimes even laughter. Fear loses power when we remember we authored the story. Hypnosis simply hands the pen back to the person who forgot they held it
