Hypnosis
- Hypnosis helps reduce phobias by guiding you into a deeply relaxed, focused state where your mind becomes more open to positive suggestions and new ways of thinking. It can gently shift the fear response by accessing the subconscious — where many phobias are rooted — and replacing panic with calm, safety, and control.
