You already know it’s irrational.
You’ve probably told yourself to “get a grip.”
But your brain doesn’t respond to logic when fear takes over — it responds to memory, emotion, and survival instinct.
And that’s exactly where we’ll begin.

Phobias Aren’t a Choice, But Changing Them Can Be

Whether it’s a fear of needles, dentists, dogs, public speaking, flying, or spiders or something different – a simple phobia has a hard edge.
You know what sets it off.

You can often recall the earliest moment it began, or at least the intense memory that keeps looping.

And while you might not want to love the thing that scares you, what you want, more than anything — is to feel in control again.

“I want to be able to tolerate it. To get through it. To not have it ruin everything else.”

What Makes This Different?

Unlike exposure therapy or CBT (which often feel brutal or ineffective and take many weeks of therapy), this approach works with your brain – not against it.

In just 4 structured sessions, we’ll:
– Calm your overactive stress response
– Break the brain’s stored fear loop using the REWIND technique
– Rebuild a safe, rational template using REFRAME in guided trance
– Give you back a sense of control — without needing to relive trauma or force exposure

All from the comfort of your own home.

How It Works

✨Session 1: Reset the Foundation
Initial consultation + Brain Talk (how phobias form and store in the hippocampus).
You’ll receive a relaxing hypnosis MP3 to listen to every night, calming the brain and emptying your stress bucket.

✨Session 2: Prepare for Change
We begin with “What’s Been Good” to shift into the rational brain, followed by gentle trance work.
This gets you comfortable and relaxed — ready for deeper change.

✨Session 3: Break the Loop (REWIND)
We safely collapse the fear template using guided REWIND while in light trance — like pulling out the blocks of a Jenga tower until it falls.

✨Session 4: Build the New (REFRAME)
You describe your ideal scenario — what life looks like once the fear is gone.
I then guide you through it in full sensory language during deep trance, laying new neural foundations.

What Phobias Can It Help With?

🔸Needle phobia & dentists
🔸Flying
🔸Public speaking
🔸Spiders or snakes
🔸Other specific phobias

*Note: This process is for specific/simple phobias with clear triggers and memory links. If your fear is more complex or unclear, a different approach may be needed; we’ll explore this in your discovery call.

What My Clients Say

I didn’t think this would work as I had already tried CBT and it didn’t work.  I couldn’t even have my blood pressure taken without panic. I heard about Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and found Michelle through recommendation. I am so glad I did! After working with Michelle, not only did the fear disappear, but my readings actually dropped for the first time in months. I now walk into appointments really calm and with no anxiety.

I got on a plane for the first time in 28 years due to Michelle’s calming meditation. A little pre- listening and I was the epitome of calm during the flight. Wasn’t even spoked by the rough landing!

Frequently asked Questions

What the Research Says About Hypnotherapy for Phobias

Hypnotherapy isn’t just relaxing – it’s evidence-backed. Several studies have explored its role in helping people conquer phobias;

There’s solid evidence behind using hypnotherapy to treat phobias. As far back as 1984, a review found hypnosis to be both efficient and effective for tackling specific fears. More recently, a 2022 study showed significant reductions in anxiety and avoidance for people with dental phobia. A 2023 randomised controlled trial found that hypnotherapy also helped those with agoraphobia, with improvements that lasted well after treatment ended. Even brief approaches, such as two well-structured sessions, have been shown to ease intense phobic responses. It’s a good reminder that change doesn’t have to take forever when the right methods are used.
