Hypnosis saved the skydive from space!

It's the most watched event of 2012. And no... it's not the election.

I'm referring to the amazing record breaking skydive from almost outer space, done by Felix Baumgartner.

Hypnotherapy made it hap
pen.

Turns out he had a "severe claustrophobic reaction" to the special pressure suit the jump required.

In his words...

"Having this suit on my body and feeling it, and the smell of the rubber, made me anxious"

He constantly had to fight the urge to tell the team to get him out of the suit when training in a pressure chamber.

His solution?

You are going to love this part...

He took a year off training, returned to his home in Austria and had hypnotherapy to help him prepare mentally for the challenge.

Fear of Hurricane Sandy? It's called Lilapsophobia and I'm giving away a FREE Hypnosis MP3 to help you!

With the coming of hurricane Sandy, our phones have been ringing off the hook with people seeking hypnosis to help them "weather" it out. Fear of hurricanes and tornados is called Lilapsophobia, and it's more common than you might think.

Sure, it's normal to experience some level of anxiety when it comes to severe storms. However, people who suffer from this condition will exhibit extremely unusual behaviors. They often spend inordinate amounts of time watching the weather channel or tracking storms online. When the storm nears, they may hide under a bed or inside a closet, or activate an emergency action plan prematurely.

Lilapsophobia is generally learned from experience. Perhaps a person suffered a devastating loss in an earlier storm like hurricane Katrina or witnessed tragedy from such a storm as a child.

If you're in the path of Sandy and are one of these people, I've created a FREE MP3 download to help you entitled, "Overcome Your Fear of Hurricane Sandy with Hypnosis." Click here to get it now!

Note: Now that Sandy has come and gone, the download link is no longer active. We certainly hope the download was beneficial to you!

The Top 5 Phobias....

...according to Steve Spears, staff writer for Florida's St. Petersburg Times. Spears conducted some extremely indepth and thorough research to come up with his list of phobias; he searched on Yahoo.

In any case, I thought it would be interesting to blog about his findings. The top five Yahoo searches for phobias are:

1. AGORAPHOBIA - The fear of being in places where help may not be available. For example, you're driving cross-country and your car breaks down hundreds of miles from civilazation, with no help to be found.

2. HAUNTED HOUSE PHOBIA - Yes, for real. Is there an official term for this? I don't think so, but I would love for somebody to correct me on this.

3. ACROPHOBIA: Fear of heights - a very common phobia that we work with at the Sanders Hypnosis Center in Pasadena, MD.

4. LEPORIPHOBIA: Check this one out. This phobia is the fear of mutant bunny rabbits or, more specifically, the Easter Bunny. Yes, killer bunnies.

5. ARACHNAPHOBIA: Most people are familiar with this thanks to the movie by the same name. The fear of spiders is another common issue we see at the Sanders Hypnosis Center. So, yes, if you have arachnaphobia, come see us and you'll soon have your very own pet tarantula.
