Does just the thought of speaking in front of a group fill you with absolute dread? For others, it is the prospect of getting on an airplane or driving long distances that triggers the sweaty palms and butterflies in the stomach.

One of the worst parts of all this is the sense that life is passing you by. You want to get on that plane. You want to pass that promotional exam. You want to give that talk. But...

A large percentage of us have what might be described as irrational and unwanted fears. This is where an individual experiences an exaggerated fight or flight stress reaction in response to something he or she knows at a conscious, rational level is reasonably safe. How would you like trade that fear for something far better like calm, cool and in control? The question is how?

Such fears defy being reasoned away by our selves or others, in fact taking the “rational approach” some times makes matters worse in that in addition to having the fear we now are considered irrational!

Over time we may even become very skilled at rationalizing why our particular fear makes sense! I should know, as I once had a strong fear of public speaking and used hypnosis to overcome it. I now routinely speak in front of groups and have become quite comfortable in doing so.

The first thing to keep in mind with these types of fears is that no one consciously decides to develop one. Rather, in response to a particularly frightening incident or a set of situations, the subconscious mind automatically set up a protective response in order to keep us safe. The problem is that this kind of mental program can persist beyond its usefulness.

For example, I was able to trace my fear of speaking in front of groups to an incident where a grade school teacher humiliated me while I was in front of the class. Developing that fear in the context of being a not overly confident child made perfect sense at the time-but it became a limitation that served no purpose as I became an adult.

Many years later during my training as a hypnotherapist, I learned how to rapidly diminish my unwanted fears and I truly enjoy applying these skills and techniques to help others. Since that time I have helped quite a number of people overcome fears related to:

-Public speaking.
-Flying.
-Driving
-Insects.
-Test taking.
-Heights.
-Performance anxiety.

Usually noticeable results are achieved in 2-3 visits. I believe hypnosis has been able to help me and many others with similar obstacles because it addresses the problem at its source.

The fee for the initial session is $147 and follow up visits are offered at $97 (or $92 per visit if you prepay prior to your session via the secure Paypal link below)
