Fear of the number 13 (triskaidekaphobia)
A fear of the number 13 can show up on calendars, hotel floors, house numbers and seat rows. It is the best-known superstition-based fear, and when it gets in the way, it can be helped.
What it feels like
- Avoiding the number 13 on doors or dates
- Feeling uneasy booking anything on the 13th
- Changing plans because of unlucky numbers
Common questions
Is it a phobia or just superstition?
Plenty of people feel a little uneasy about 13, and that is simply superstition. It becomes a phobia when the fear is strong and you rearrange your life around 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.
