Understand the alarm
Knowing you are safe does not always stop your body from reacting as though you are in danger.
A phobia is not a lack of courage. The work focuses on what happens automatically and on the freedom you want to regain in a specific situation.
01
Fear starts before the event
Images and predictions can trigger the alarm hours or days in advance.
02
Your body takes over
Your heart rate can rise, your breathing can change, and tension or the urge to escape can build very quickly.
03
Avoidance brings immediate relief
That relief teaches the brain to repeat avoidance the next time.
04
Your choices become narrower
Travel, healthcare, work or relationships begin revolving around the fear.

Benjamin, I truly wanted to thank you for today’s session. I arrived carrying a heavy mental load and a great deal of stress, and I already feel lighter, calmer and more hopeful. The way you listen, your kindness and your professionalism immediately create a sense of trust. You can feel how deeply committed you are to the people you work with, and that makes all the difference. Thank you for this valuable moment and for the care you bring to your work. I look forward to seeing the positive effects take hold over the coming days.

I went in skeptical because I knew very little about hypnosis. I was pleasantly surprised. Benjamin explained hypnosis clearly; we talked at length and did exercises, and without realizing it, my unconscious mind was already at work. I left thinking we had “only” talked. Yet when I later faced the situation that had brought me to him, I felt no panic or anxiety. I wholeheartedly recommend the experience.

The mechanisms
How a protective alarm can become too sensitive.
The fear is real even when the danger is low. Anticipation, body sensations and avoidance can reinforce one another.
The physical alarm
Your body reacts quickly before careful reasoning can catch up.
Hypervigilance
Attention searches continuously for the feared sign, sensation or way out.
Avoidance
Leaving or canceling helps immediately, but can make the next situation feel even harder.

What hypnosis can help you work on
Create another response to the alarm.
The goal is not reckless fearlessness. It is a response that fits the actual situation and gives you more choice.
1
Change catastrophic anticipation
Reduce the power of images that trigger the alarm before the event.
2
Move through the physical response
Experience body sensations without treating every change as proof of danger.
3
Prepare a manageable next step
Approach the real situation progressively rather than jumping to the hardest version.
4
Regain everyday freedom
Travel, get medical care, enter a place or stay present without letting the urge to escape make the decision for you.
The process
What a session focused on fear or phobia looks like.
A session lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. We define the trigger, the feared outcome, the avoidance and how you want to be able to respond instead.
1
Map the fear accurately
We identify the exact cues, sensations, predictions and protective behaviors involved.
2
Experience another response
Hypnosis helps you approach the way you picture the situation with more distance and flexibility.
3
Connect the work to real life
We prepare a manageable next step in the situation that currently limits you.
Locations and online sessions
Choose the setting in which you can feel secure and undisturbed.
Meet in person in Paris or Saint-Mandé, or online when that format is appropriate for your goal and you have a quiet, uninterrupted space.
What people ask before a session about fear or phobia.
The work is progressive, collaborative and connected to a concrete real-life goal.
Do I have to face the worst version of my fear immediately?
No. The work can begin with a manageable mental image or a small first step, then be tested gradually in real life.
Can hypnosis erase fear completely?
No responsible approach can guarantee that. Hypnosis can help change the automatic reactions and avoidance that keep a phobia in place.
How many sessions should I expect?
One session is often enough for focused work. Two or three may sometimes be useful depending on the fear and the situations involved.
Can the session take place online?
Yes, when the setting is safe, quiet and uninterrupted and the goal is appropriate for an online session.
Will I lose control?
No. You remain aware and free to speak, move or stop throughout the session.
When should I seek other care?
Severe trauma symptoms, depression, suicidal thoughts, substance use or frequent or disabling panic attacks require appropriate medical or mental health care.
What would become possible if fear stopped making every decision?
Start with the exact situation that limits you and the specific freedom you want to regain.
