If you or someone you love is suffering from debilitating fears, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Hypnotherapy can help change your life so you feel confident to tackle whatever may arise in your day to day life.

Whether you’re afraid to drive, scared of heights or terrified of flying Irina Benoit, certified hypnotherapist at Lasting Change Hypnosis can help you overcome those fears and phobias.

“I call them life stoppers. “Your life shrinks because you avoid what you’re scared of,” explains Benoit adding that these debilitating fears often cause people to miss out on the simple pleasures of life, because they’re scared of confront their fears. Take the dentist for example. If someone is scared to visit the dentist, they may ignore a tooth ache, which if left untreated may become a serious health issue.

So where do these fears and phobias come from? Whether someone experienced a frightful event as a child or they were recently involved in an automobile accident, these fears become deeply rooted in the subconscious mind. These deep seeded fears and phobias can be incredibly disruptive to someone’s day to day life, but there is hope to change them. Benoit uses hypnotherapy to change the unwanted behaviours and reactions triggered by the fear. Once a client is hypnotized in a deeply relaxed state, Benoit gives them suggestions to contradict their fearful behavior.

“While relaxed, we’re educating your mind how to take a new approach to an old response,” explains Benoit. During a hypnosis session, Benoit helps a client use visualization techniques to imagine how they would like to react when confronted with their fear. For someone who is scared to fly, she has the client visualize themselves sitting on a plane comfortably during a flight. “Hypnosis will help you change your behaviours because hypnosis works with the subconscious mind. You’ll be able to let go of those negative feelings and fearful thoughts of an object or situation and replace it with a positive, healthy response,” says Benoit.

According to Benoit, a third of all the clients at Lasting Change Hypnosis are being successfully treated to help overcome debilitating fears and phobias. With the help of hypnosis, Benoit’s clients have to let go of fears and phobias for life.
