Claustrophobia Hypnotherapy – Stop The Fear and Feeling Trapped



Relaxed Professionals in train with confidence gained from claustrophobia hypnotherapyIF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR CLAUSTROPHOBIA HYPNOTHERAPY you’ve probably already tried “facing the fear” and  found it doesn’t work.

People with claustrophobia feel anxious every day, and yet the phobia persists. Whether it’s elevators, planes, trains, crowds or just being stuck in traffic; the fear of being trapped is there no matter how many times they expose themselves to it.

And being told enclosed spaces are ‘safe’ doesn’t help much either does it? It might reassure nervous people but it doesn’t work if you’re terrified just thinking about it.

If you’ve avoided trips, missed work or felt humiliated in situations that trigger anxiety or panic you don’t need a lecture on logic or safety.

What you need is a treatment that tackles the fear at its root…

Paul Mckenna Claustrophobia Hypnotherapy Treatment Phobiaman Testimonial - Alex is a very good therapist

I’m Alex, Clinical Director here at The PHOBIAMAN Clinic and senior member of Paul McKenna’s world-renowned Assistant Training Team. Over the last two decades we’ve developed a treatment programme designed to help you overcome your fear of confined spaces – without putting you through all the distress of exposure therapy.

Our claustrophobia hypnotherapy programme is so effective that patients have overcome their fear in just a handful of sessions. And with over 15,000 successful cases we’d like to help you too.

Hypnotherapy for Claustrophobia With Real Results

So how do we achieve these results where so many other other clinicians and therapists struggle?

It’s a good question.

At The PHOBIAMAN Clinic, phobia therapy is our ONLY business. We don’t dilute our expertise by treating anything other than phobias or anxiety issues. This singular focus means we’ve developed far greater experience in the field, and innovative methods that consistently deliver results.

Through years of specialisation, we’ve learned that claustrophobia doesn’t respond to standard phobia treatments. Other clinics often try to apply these standard techniques but claustrophobia operates differently.

Unlike other fears, claustrophobia is an instinctive survival response. It is NOT a learned behaviour.

Many therapists miss this key point. They try to “fix” something that isn’t broken and end up frustrated and with little progress for the Patient.

At The PHOBIAMAN Clinic we have spent decades studying these patterns. By focusing only on phobia treatment we have developed unique methods that work where other therapies fail.

Our approach is about creating new emotional responses and mental resilience, helping patients reframe their subconscious beliefs and build lasting change.

My Last Therapist Told Me The Only Way to Overcome Claustrophobia is with Exposure Therapy. Is This True?

Thankfully, that isn’t true. Every time you’ve experienced claustrophobia it’s because you’ve undergone exposure. For many, this just reinforces the phobic behaviour. When you’re in a tight space, managing claustrophobia symptoms feels like a losing battle.

Hypnotherapy takes it a step further by helping you access your subconscious mind and tackle the root cause of your phobia. Through guided sessions in a deeply relaxed state you can learn to respond differently to the triggers and feel relaxed and confident in tight spaces. These techniques will help you manage symptoms in the moment and gradually overcome claustrophobia.

What is Claustrophobia?

Claustrophobia is a specific phobia that causes an intense fear of small spaces, which can lead to overwhelming anxiety or panic attacks. For someone with claustrophobia just the thought of being in a lift, a crowded train or a windowless room can make you feel out of control.

And it’s not just uncomfortable; it can feel all consuming. When you’re in it you can’t think straight or feel relaxed in situations others would find normal.

The root of claustrophobia lies deep in the subconscious mind where automatic responses to perceived threats begin. Your subconscious triggers symptoms like a racing heart, sweating or the need to escape. Emotions aren’t under your conscious control and that’s why logic won’t help.

Clinical Hypnotherapy offers a way to access the subconscious mind with positive suggestions so you feel at ease in enclosed spaces. Through hypnosis and self hypnosis you can start to discover and then retrain your mind’s response to triggers and overcome claustrophobia and regain control. With the right approach you can manage symptoms, feel more relaxed and finally break free from the grip of this phobia.

Causes and Triggers of Claustrophobia

Causes and triggers of claustrophobia are as individual as the people who experience them. For some a traumatic experience – being trapped in a small space as a child – can set the stage for a lifelong fear of enclosed spaces. For others genetic factors or a heightened sense of feeling trapped may play a role. Even just the thought of going into an enclosed space can trigger intense anxiety.

Small spaces like lifts or tunnels, crowded rooms and situations where you feel trapped or can’t escape are all triggers. The unconscious mind links these environments to danger when there is no real threat.

For some it even spreads to a fear of flying because they feel trapped on the plane when the doors close.

Hypnotherapy is so powerful because you can access this part of the brain and deal with the root of your claustrophobia. By knowing what triggers your fear and working with a hypnotherapist you can start to overcome your phobia and feel more comfortable in enclosed spaces. You’ll get your control back and be able to move forward with more confidence.

I Need an MRI scan But I get Panic Attacks in Confined Spaces

For those who can’t have MRI scans because of claustrophobia, our treatment can help them overcome this barrier. Many people can’t face situations like lifts, tunnels or crowded spaces but our methods address these directly.

A 2021 Study found that hypnosis may help patients suffering from claustrophobia to undergo MR examinations.

Our therapy also helps patients identify and manage the specific situations that trigger claustrophobia and get them back in control and feel comfortable in their daily life.

Specialisation makes all the difference.
