The fear that kept me up at night

The first time a friend suggested I try hypnosis, I pictured a swinging pocket watch.

At the time, my daughter was 3 years old.

And I was convinced something terrible was going to happen to her.

She was perfectly safe, of course.

Still, I couldn’t shake the terrifying thoughts that kept me up at night.

What if she’s hit by a car? Or I lose her at Target?

I even dreamt I accidentally buried her under a pile of dirty laundry.

Which, let’s face it, probably said more about my housekeeping than anything else.

But I’d wake up sweating at least once a night.

And this was long before perimenopause.

So I read some self-help books.

I talked to counselors.

I did everything I knew to do at the time, but nothing touched it.

Finally, I booked that hypnosis session, sure it would be ridiculous.

Instead I found a calm office and a professional who explained exactly what would happen.

Not a pocket watch in sight.

Even more surprising?

Within a few sessions, the fear was gone.

I don't mean it was better. It was completely gone.

And I was finally able to sleep again.

I still hated doing the laundry. But I eventually got over that.

Sort of.

What I didn’t get over was my fascination with what hypnosis could accomplish.

Have you ever wondered how it could help you?
