Fear of nudity (gymnophobia)
A fear of nudity can show up in changing rooms, at the doctor’s, on holiday or with a partner. It may be about seeing others, being seen yourself, or both. It can be helped.
What it feels like
- Avoiding changing rooms and communal showers
- Feeling tense about being seen undressed
- Dreading medical exams or swimming trips
Common questions
Is this the same as body image anxiety?
They can be linked. For some people the fear is about how their body looks, and for others it is about feeling unsafe or exposed. We talk through what is behind it for you before deciding how to work on it.
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.
