Fear of ageing (gerascophobia)
A fear of ageing can show up at birthdays, in the mirror, when a friend gets ill or when you think about growing old. It goes beyond the usual dislike of wrinkles and can colour how you feel about the future. It can be helped.
What it feels like
- Dreading birthdays and milestone ages
- Worrying about losing independence or health
- Avoiding talk of getting older
Common questions
Is it normal to worry about getting older?
A little worry is normal for most of us. It becomes a phobia when the fear feels constant, takes over your thoughts or stops you enjoying life now. That is the point at which it is worth getting some support.
How can you help?
I use hypnotherapy and NLP to change how your mind responds to the thing you fear, so the old alarm stops going off. Sessions are one to one over Zoom, and you get a recording of the hypnosis to listen to afterwards.
How many sessions will I need?
Many clients notice a real difference after one 90 minute session. If the fear goes back a long way, three sessions gives us room to make the change stick.
