What People Are Saying

Irrational Fears and Phobias

Relax! You’re in good company. More people than you know are coping with an intense fear that has a significant impact on their lives.

Any irrational fear will seriously affect your family, your relationships, your career, your self-esteem and your ability to cope with life on every level. You don’t have to live like that!

These fears are deeply rooted in the beliefs and attitudes of your subconscious mind.

Your conscious mind can easily recognize an irrational fear as patently ridiculous and yet be powerless to overcome the fear and lead a normal life. Those experiencing irrational fear often feel hopeless and respond by severely restricting their lives, avoiding all places and situations that may trigger their fear.

You may not be able to identify your fear. If so, you are experiencing generalized anxiety. On the other hand, you may know exactly what makes you fearful (e.g. fear of flying, heights, closed places, bridges, insects, etc.).  Sometimes fear is rational and justified (for example, a dog rushing at you barking, with teeth bared and salivating). Using that example, if the dog is about to attack, fear is useful and you must act quickly. However, if you are afraid of all dogs under any and all situations, you would probably agree that your fear can be classified as irrational.

Whether your fear is generalized and cannot be named, or if it is specific and known to you, hypnotherapy can help you overcome your fear and live a normal, happy life.

PARALYZING FEAR

“I initially sought Hypnotherapy to help overcome a fear I'd developed as an adult. The initial consultation was a beneficial experience. Bay Area Hypnotherapy made me feel safe and explained in detail what I could expect from Hypnotherapy. Through guided hypnosis, I became conscious that my fear and certain life choices stemmed from insecurity due to the pain of a previous relationship. After attend four sessions, I felt an incredible sense of relief.

Bay Area Hypnotherapy has those great qualities you look for in Hypnotherapists – knowledge, empathy, support and humor. I think it's rare to find people who are genuine and that truly want to help you. I highly recommend them!

FEAR OF FLYING

I went to Bay Area Hypnotherapy to address an intense fear of flying.  I had literally tried everything else out there.  I found Bay Area Hypnotherapy to be comforting and very pragmatic.  Their coaching helped me find a way not to panic when I fly.  I do so now not without fear, but definitely in control of it.  I would recommend them to anyone trying to deal with an irrational fear issue.

"...I was stressed, depressed, unmotivated, and fearful of life in general."

"Bay Area Hypnotherapy has been a tremendous help in my life. I came to them seeking help because I was stressed, depressed, unmotivated, and fearful of life in general. I also needed spiritual guidance. Their support and genuine compassion held me up when I was really down, and the spiritual guidance helped me to navigate my way through some intense turbulence in my life. I am an M.D. by training, and with the techniques that I have learned from Bay Area Hypnotherapy and the guidance I received, I have to say that I am feeling much better now and more peaceful, with an improved outlook on life. Not only did they contribute to the positive change in my life, but taught me how to use hypnotherapy techniques so that I can do them on my own. I intend to continue going to Bay Area Hypnotherapy for continued healing. I am very grateful that I found such compassionate and supportive therapists."

"... I am improving every day and being compassionate with myself."

"I am so grateful to have met Lynn. I go into deep hypnosis and I feel heard, expressed and witnessed in our sessions. The index cards/ home assignments have gotten into my psyche and I am improving every day and being compassionate with myself. Lynn is always so great at communicating with me and she is very easy to talk to. She's also very open minded and wise and she makes me feel very comfortable. It's refreshing to have sessions with her and she helps me see the positives in my life's commotion. Lynn is open to making my sessions about what I want to focus and work on. I feel a difference after seeing her week after week."
