It may sound shocking, but having a fear of success can actually be a bigger problem than having a fear of failure. For some people, the excitement that comes with success actually makes them feel anxious and uncomfortable. If you relate to this, you understand how paralyzing that promotion, new account, or successful date can be!
How is this possible?
Typically, a fear of success develops in response to some kind of past traumatic event. The adrenaline rush that comes with success reminds you of the adrenaline rush that you experienced during your trauma. After all, many of the physical reactions - like a fast heart rate, sweating, and shallow breathing - are the same. Since you don't want to experience anything that reminds you of your past trauma, you avoid success whenever possible.
Virtually all of the emotions you experience - both good and bad - come directly from your subconscious mind. If your subconscious doesn't want to experience anything similar to your past trauma, it will do everything it can to steer you away from success. Since your subconscious is also responsible for virtually all of your automatic responses, you wind up living a life devoid of success.
Hypnosis can help reprogram your mind and facilitate behavioral change.
The New York Hypnosis Institute 4 Step Fear of Success Hypnosis Program Can Help You
- Identify What Triggers Your Fear of Success
- Replace Catastrophic Thoughts with Truthful Statements
- Assist in Reprogramming the Way You Think About Success
- Teach Self Hypnosis for Daily Reinforcement

Your hypnosis for fear of success will focus on two things:
- Identifying your past trauma
- Teaching your subconscious that your past trauma has nothing to do with future success
If you're scared of success because it reminds you of a past trauma, the key to moving forward is to show your subconscious that as bad as the trauma was - it's over. We at the NY Hypnosis Institute can teach your subconscious that the emotions you're experiencing now have nothing to do with your trauma.
During the hypnosis session, you will be guided into a trance-like state that will give you the ability to identify the event from your past that is the source of your fear. Once identified, we can help change the way your subconscious perceives the event. Essentially, we will explain to your subconscious mind that what may have seemed traumatic or scary as a child or young adult, no longer needs to hold you back.
If your subconscious can learn to stop associating every intense emotion with your past trauma, it will allow you to experience success in a healthy, positive way. That way, you won't be scared to interview for your dream job, ask out the partner of your dreams, or compete in the marathon. Instead, you'll be driven by a desire to succeed - instead of a fear!
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.
We will identify the feelings and triggers you experience so that the suggestions given to your subconscious mind will be tailored to your specific challenge. With the combination of regression and suggestions the fear of success can be eliminated in just a few sessions.
A New York Hypnosis Fear of Success Hypnosis session can retrain your mind to:
Eliminate your fear of Success
Provide you with a life of limitless possibilities
The first session consists of an intake and hypnosis to address your fear of success. The intake portion involves answering any questions the client might have, and discussing the exact nature of the problem. While in hypnosis, the client will receive suggestions that will assist in promoting accelerated change. The client will also receive a recording of a hypnosis session to listen to for reinforcement, which can be downloaded onto a computer or an iPod.

The number of sessions needed, will vary, but on average 1-2 sessions will suffice. We at The NY Hypnosis Institute will support you as needed.
