Will I be hypnotized? +
No — not in the way you're imagining. Although I am a certified clinical hypnotherapist, this method involves no trance, no swinging watch, and no loss of control. You remain relaxed, aware, and fully in charge the entire time. It is a peaceful, guided conversation — nothing more dramatic than that.
Will I have to experience my fear during the session? +
Absolutely not. This is one of the most important distinctions of this method. I never expose you to your fear — not in imagery, not in discussion, not in any form. The session is deeply relaxing from start to finish.
How many sessions will I need? +
One. The complimentary consultation allows me to design a complete, tailored therapy so we get it right the first time. Occasional follow-up sessions are available if desired, but the method is built around a single session.
Can this really work over Zoom? +
Yes — and it works beautifully. The entire method is conducted through spoken word. The comfort of your own home actually enhances the relaxation response, making Zoom sessions highly effective.
What phobias can you treat? +
This method is designed for serious, life-limiting phobias — fear of flying, heights, water, driving, enclosed spaces, public speaking, and others. The complimentary consultation will determine whether your specific fear is a fit for this approach.
What do you mean by "the emotions you choose"? +
Unlike most approaches that only aim to reduce fear, this method asks what you want to feel instead. Do you want to feel "safe and secure"? "Calm and free"? "Empowered and in control"? Your answer becomes the target — the exact emotional state the session is built to deliver.
Do you work with people who have a diagnosis? +
Yes — and responsibly. If a physician or psychiatrist has formally diagnosed you with this phobia or a related anxiety disorder, I work alongside your doctor and will ask for a prescription or referral before we begin. This keeps your care coordinated. If you haven't been formally diagnosed, we can usually begin right away. We'll cover this in your complimentary consultation.
What if I'm not satisfied after my session? +
Then you don't pay. Your result is what matters — if you are not completely satisfied after your first session, there is no charge. It's that simple.
What do you mean by "the emotions you choose"? +
Unlike most approaches that only aim to reduce fear, this method asks what you want to feel instead. Do you want to feel "safe and secure"? "Calm and free"? "Empowered and in control"? Your answer becomes the target — the exact emotional state the session is built to deliver.
