Fear of doctors (iatrophobia)
A fear of doctors can mean ignoring symptoms, missing check-ups and putting off tests that would give you peace of mind.
What it feels like
- Putting off appointments, even when something feels wrong
- Your heart rate or blood pressure spiking in the surgery
- Worry about what the doctor might find
Common questions
Where does it come from?
Often a frightening medical experience, a bad diagnosis in the family, or feeling unheard by a doctor in the past.
How do sessions work?
I use hypnotherapy and NLP to change how your mind responds to doctors. 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.
I have an appointment coming up. Can you help in time?
Many clients find one 90 minute session is enough to get through the appointment they’ve been dreading. Let me know the date so we can plan around it.
