Fear of thunder and lightning (astraphobia)

A storm can turn an ordinary evening into hours of tension. Some people check the forecast constantly and plan their week around the weather.

What it feels like

  • Checking weather apps again and again
  • Hiding indoors, covering your ears or avoiding windows
  • A racing heart at the first rumble

Common questions

Where does it come from?

Often it starts in childhood, especially if a parent was frightened of storms. A close lightning strike or storm damage can also set it off.

How do sessions work?

I use hypnotherapy and NLP to change how your mind responds to storms. 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.
