If you have a fear of snakes, you are not alone. Millions of people all over the world have the same fear. Seeing or even thinking about a snake may make you start to cry, shake, or have trouble breathing. You may physically need to run away. Your fear may even extend to pictures of snakes or seeing snakes on TV. If your fear is severe enough, you may be afraid to go outside!

If this sounds like you, eliminating your fear may be as simple as taking advantage of hypnosis.

Hypnosis can help reprogram your mind and facilitate behavioral change.

The New York Hypnosis Institute 4 Step Fear of Snakes Program Can Help You

• Identify When, Where, and What Triggers Your Fear of Snakes
• Replace Catastrophic Thoughts with Truthful Statements
• Assist in Reprogramming the Way You Think About & React to Snakes
• Teach Self Hypnosis for Daily Reinforcement

Phobias tend to result from three main life events or experiences. They include trauma, parental impact on childhood, or observing something terrifying. These factors can cover a very wide range of experiences. The root cause of the fear likely stems from a childhood experience. This experience must be reframed so that the subconscious mind understands that the flight response or fear is no longer necessary.

Various triggers can set off your fear, but your reaction in some instances can be delayed so that you react to something else entirely. Often times, clients are surprised to discover what the initial fear inducing event is, because at face value it does not seem to have a direct connection to the fear.  However, there is always a connection although it may not be obvious initially.

Hypnosis is a natural state, that when achieved, allows your hypnotist to access your subconscious mind. When you watch a movie, read a book, or focus on a project at work and lose track of time, you are experiencing hypnosis. Once a client is guided into hypnosis, we at the NY Hypnosis Institute can then give positive suggestions directly to the subconscious mind.

During a New York Hypnosis Institute fear of snakes hypnosis session, your hypnotist will guide you into hypnosis and gain access to your subconscious mind.  When you are in a deeply relaxed and focused state, you may discover that your fear stems from something that happened when you were little - perhaps a snake startled you when you went to play outside as a 5-year-old. Your subconscious can take a memory as simple as that, file it away, and embellish it. The result? An irrational fear that you do not understand.

So, how does hypnosis help you overcome your fear?

During a New York Hypnosis Institute fear of snakes hypnosis session, you can identify the event from your past that has been blown out of proportion. Contrary to what you might think, the subconscious mind does not judge the fear; it is simply attempting to protect you, its host. Once the event is identified, your hypnotist can then reframe the way your subconscious mind perceives that event, allowing the fear and anxiety to be released.

In addition, your New York Hypnotist may use detailed visualization techniques to help you move beyond your fear. You may be instructed to imagine hiking through the woods or taking your kids to the zoo - without being terrified that you'll run into a snake.

By accentuating the positives of snakes in your visualizations, you can train your mind to think of snakes in a positive light, like the fact that snakes can kill rodents, insects, and other pests.

 

A New York Hypnosis Fear of Snakes session can retrain your mind to:

 

Eliminate your fear of snakes completely

Provide you with the freedom to walk in nature free of fear

The first session consists of an intake and hypnosis to address the fear of snakes.
