In our first conversation, we discuss your specific fear. Together, we consider whether this approach is right for you.

## Fears & Phobias

A fear may limit what you do, where you go or how freely you experience everyday life – even when the rational part of you knows that the reaction is stronger than the situation requires.

Fear responses can become deeply learned through experience, association and repetition. RTT works with the underlying associations and meanings connected with that response, helping the mind move away from an old pattern of danger and towards greater calm, confidence and freedom.

## Who you will work with

I’m Marta Encheva-Malinova, PhD, a hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®) practitioner.

## How we begin working with your fear

1. 1

### First conversation

In our first conversation, we agree on the situation to focus on — such as flying, driving or a medical procedure — and what you would like to change.
2. 2

### RTT session

An RTT session usually lasts 90–120 minutes. We work with the experiences and associations connected with your specific concern.
3. 3

### Support after the session

After the session, you receive a personalised recording to listen to regularly over the following weeks. We stay in regular contact during this time. After a minimum of three weeks, we review what you have noticed and whether further work would be useful.

## If hypnosis itself worries you

### Will I lose control?

You remain aware and can ask for a pause or stop at any point.

### What if I find it hard to relax?

You do not need to reach a particular “depth” of hypnosis. What matters is taking an active part in the process.

## Would you like to talk about the fear that holds you back?

You do not need to know where your fear began. We can start with what you experience today and the change you would like to make.
