The fear is real — the cause is usually something else.
Almost everyone has something they feel a bit irrational about. For some, it's a minor quirk; for others, it's severe enough to close off opportunities — a promotion turned down because it means flying, a stage avoided because of public speaking. Phobias bring people to hypnotherapy more often than any other condition.
Her approach
The object or experience that triggers a phobic response is often a stand-in for a different fear or worry underneath it — it's easier to point at "fear of flying" than to name a deeper feeling of being out of control. The fear and anxiety you feel in the moment are completely real; it's the root cause that's usually something else. Pattie works to find that root and change your mind's response to it, rather than just managing the symptom.
Every new client starts with a free 20-minute consultation. Sessions are $150, available at Pattie's Scottsdale office or by Zoom.
