Yellow card, hypnotherapy for a specific phobia, aviophobia

Mgr. et Mgr. ©árka Bezvodová
Soukromá psychologická ordinace, Praha

The case report demonstrates the use of hypnosis in psychotherapy (PST) as the principal method in treating a specific (isolated) phobia, aviophobia. The article describes in detail the part of PST that is focused on a phobia and prepares a patient for air travel. Specifically, there were five sessions in which hypnosis was used three times. In between the sessions, the client also practised autogenic training and worked with autosuggestions. After she had flown successfully, PST was resumed and then a pause was agreed on, which, in fact, turned out to be termination of the therapy. The case report shows a high efficacy of hypnotic-suggestive methods in a short time period.

Keywords: psychotherapy, hypnosis, autohypnosis, hypnotherapy, aviophobia, suggestion.
