OVERCOMING PHOBIAS WITH HYPNOTHERAPY

Overcoming Phobias with Hypnotherapy in Oklahoma City

Do fears and phobias hold you back from living your life?

A hypnotherapist can be one of the most effective professionals to help overcome fears like a fear of germs (mysophobia) because hypnotherapy works directly with the subconscious mind, where phobias and deep-rooted anxieties reside. Here's why a hypnotherapist is the best option and what the process looks like:


Why a Hypnotherapist is Ideal for Overcoming Fears


  1. Access to the Subconscious Mind: Fears are often stored in the subconscious, where they can become deeply ingrained and difficult to change through conscious effort alone. Hypnotherapists use techniques to access the subconscious mind, helping to uncover the root cause of the fear and reframe negative beliefs.
  2. Rapid and Long-lasting Results: Unlike some therapies that may take months or years, hypnotherapy can provide relief in a shorter time frame in many cases just a session or two. By working directly with the subconscious, it allows individuals to quickly modify their reactions to triggering situations.
  3. Non-Invasive and Relaxing: Hypnotherapy is a non-invasive process that involves relaxation techniques. It helps the individual feel at ease, reducing overall anxiety while also creating a safe environment to confront their fears without overwhelming them.
  4. Customized Treatment: A hypnotherapist tailors the sessions to the specific fears and triggers of the individual, whether it’s related to germs, public speaking, or any other phobia. This personalization ensures that the treatment is relevant and effective.

What the Hypnotherapy Process Looks Like


  1. Initial Consultation and Assessment: The process will begin with a consult, where our hypnotherapist will get to know you, your specific fear, its severity, and how it impacts your daily life. This will allow us to design a custom tailored treatment plan.
  2. Inducing Relaxation: During your session, our hypnotherapist will help you enter a deep state of relaxation, often referred to as a hypnotic trance. This is a natural state where the mind is highly focused and open to suggestion, while the body remains calm.
  3. Exploring the Fear: In this relaxed state, our hypnotherapist may guide you to explore the root cause of the fear. Often, fears are linked to past experiences or irrational beliefs that have been buried in the subconscious mind.
  4. Reframing the Fear: Once your fear is identified, our hypnotherapist helps reframe the fear by introducing positive suggestions, new perspectives, or alternative responses to the feared situation. For example, in the case of a fear of germs, our hypnotherapist may suggest that you can manage your cleanliness without being controlled by anxiety.
  5. Building Coping Strategies: Our hypnotherapist will also work to create healthier coping mechanisms. They may teach you how to remain calm when faced with triggers or gradually expose you to imagined scenarios that typically cause you fear, helping to develop a sense of control over your reactions.
  6. Reinforcement and Empowerment: Our hypnotherapist will then reinforce positive suggestions to strengthen your ability to confront and overcome the fear in the real world. This may involve visualization exercises where you will imagine yourself facing your fear successfully, reinforcing new feelings of empowerment and resilience.
  7. Follow-up and Progress Monitoring: After the session, our hypnotherapist will often schedule follow-ups to ensure the treatment is working and make adjustments as needed. You may also receive self-hypnosis techniques to practice on your own to maintain the progress between sessions.


Hypnotherapy is a very effective, gentle, and often fast-acting solution for overcoming fears like mysophobia. By addressing the subconscious root of the fear, a hypnotherapist can help you to break free from irrational anxieties and develop more positive, healthy coping strategies. This approach can empower you to regain control over your life and reduce the paralyzing effects of phobias!
