“I rode the elevator without overthinking—first time in years.”
Phobias & Fears / Confident Response
Hypnotherapy helps you change the pattern behind fear—pairing triggers with calm, updating the “mental movie,” and taking small steps you choose. Sessions with Darrian Knotts, Certified Hypnotherapist, are in-person in Loves Park and focus on usable skills for flying, needles, driving, animals, and more. You stay aware and in control; progress depends on what you practice between visits.

How Hypnotherapy Supports Fear Work
Map the loop: notice thoughts, body cues, and avoidance patterns.
Calm on cue: simple breathing and anchoring to quiet the surge.
Update the story: rehearse new images that reduce alarms.
Stepwise plan: choose micro-exposures you feel safe trying.
Bounce-back script: handle spikes without losing momentum.
Hypnotherapy is complementary and educational. It doesn’t diagnose or treat medical or mental-health conditions. If you’re in therapy or medical care, we’ll align session suggestions with your provider’s guidance.

How many sessions will I need?
It varies by history and practice. Some feel progress quickly; others prefer several visits. No results are guaranteed.
