Maven,

It is possible to help people remove their fears through hypnosis. It can be achieved in one session with some clients, yet I usually do more then one session to clear up any loose ends.

Now I will admit that I have seen his shows on fears. And the whole show was a joke. The "staged" people with fears and all... I couldn't even finish watching. This is the kind of crap that give hypnosis a bad rap.

Now, as to why more people don't find way's to remove their fears. Wether it's hypnosis or other ways. It seems alot of people have some form of secondary gain associated with their fear. That is, it's better for them to have the fear then get rid of it. In some cases they don't realize they have this gain. Some are more "afraid" of hypnosis then they are of ___________. This is unfounded, but in some cases a reality.

I know if I had a fear that affected my daily life, I would do anything to get rid of it. But that is just me.
