Phobia Brisbane

1. How does hypnotherapy help with phobias?

A phobia is a subconscious fear response that activates automatically.
Clive’s hypnotherapy gently rewires this reaction so the object or situation no longer triggers panic or avoidance.

2. Why does my fear feel irrational but uncontrollable?

Because phobias live in the emotional brain, not the logical mind.
Hypnosis accesses the subconscious directly where the fear is stored.

3. Can hypnotherapy remove a phobia completely?

Yes — many clients experience dramatic or complete relief as the fear response is neutralised.

4. What if the phobia has been with me for my whole life?

Hypnosis is highly effective even for lifelong phobias because it works at the root cause, not just the symptoms.

5. Can hypnotherapy help with sudden panic when I see the trigger?

Absolutely.
Hypnosis calms the fight-or-flight response and stops the fear from taking over.

6. Can hypnosis help with avoidance behaviour?

Yes.
Hypnotherapy reduces fear, builds confidence, and makes avoided situations feel manageable and safe.

7. Will hypnotherapy force me to face my fear?

No.
Clive’s approach is gentle — the fear releases internally first before you ever need to confront anything.

8. Can hypnotherapy help with physical symptoms like shaking, sweating, or heart racing?

Definitely.
These symptoms are driven by the subconscious fear response, which hypnosis calms.

9. Can hypnosis help with fear of losing control during a phobic reaction?

Yes.
Hypnosis rebuilds emotional stability and inner safety, reducing the fear of the fear itself.

10. What if the phobia came from a traumatic experience?

Clive’s trauma-informed approach can heal the emotional imprint without needing to relive the trauma.

11. Can hypnotherapy help with multiple phobias?

Yes.
Once the subconscious learns safety, many fears begin to dissolve together.

12. Does hypnotherapy work for unusual or rare phobias?

Absolutely.
The process is the same no matter what the trigger is.

13. Can hypnotherapy help children with phobias?

Yes — gently and safely.
Children respond extremely well to hypnosis.

14. What if I’m ashamed of my fear?

There is zero judgment.
Clive provides a compassionate environment where you feel understood and supported.

15. Can hypnotherapy help with phobias that embarrassed me in the past?

Yes.
Hypnosis heals the emotional memory so past incidents stop repeating in your mind.

16. Can hypnosis help with anticipatory anxiety before facing the phobia?

Absolutely.
Hypnosis eliminates the “fear of fear” that often builds up beforehand.

Beautifully.
Clients feel safe at home, which allows deeper transformation.

18. How quickly can hypnotherapy reduce phobic reactions?

Many clients experience significant relief within a few sessions — sometimes even in one.

19. Will the fear come back?

Once the subconscious fear pattern is rewired, the phobia usually stays gone.
Hypnosis creates long-term internal change.

20. How does hypnotherapy create freedom from phobias?

By helping your subconscious:

• Release the fear response

• Calm the nervous system

• Reprogram old emotional associations

• Build confidence and inner safety

• End avoidance patterns

• Restore control, calmness, and stability

• Make the trigger feel neutral instead of dangerous

You don’t just “manage” a phobia.
You become someone who feels calm, safe, free, and fully in control — no matter what used to trigger fear.
