Phobia and trance are strongly linked. In fact I’d go further and say that phobia is a trance state.
Think of going to see a stage show. The hypnotist says something along the lines of ‘When I click my fingers you will leap up on top of your chair and scream at the top of your lungs.’ He then clicks his fingers and lo and behold, you jump on your chair and scream at the top of your lungs.
That would be a strong piece on the stage. But the reality is, for arachnophobes they don’t need a hypnotist or a click of the fingers. They just need to see a spider.
You can be going about your life completely normally, then you see the thing you’re terrified of, and you go into your phobia trance. You panic, your heartrate leaps, you scream. A complete personality change in less than a second.
The good news is that phobia tends to be very responsive to hypnosis. We find ways to swap out one state for another one. One that allows you to be much more calm and settled.
