Fear of Choking

A mother brought her 8 year old young son who was seeking help to stop his fear of choking on his food. The mother was forced to puree all of this child’s food because in this boy’s mind any substantial particle represented an opportunity for choking. Hypnosis revealed that within the last year, the boy experienced a choking incident that terrified him. It was as if his subconscious knew he did not want that horrific choking feeling again, so it protected him by creating the fear of choking on any solid food. The end result of the fear was that he couldn’t eat any solid food. Fortunately, through HypnoCounseling the boy released fears of choking on his food and instead, gained confidence that he could eat carefully while avoiding any problems with swallowing his food. He responded well to the hypnosis suggestions and happily, the boy was eating normally within approximately 6 weeks.
