Panic

SUBJECT: adult boy.

PROBLEM: fear of everything, painful nerves, panic attacks, insomnia, refractory to drugs.

APPROACH: intense hypnosis; anxiety cut down to 1/3 at the 3rd session; hypnotically induced confusion in order to mistake the afternoon (when he can sleep) for the evening (where he is insomniac).

RESULT: panic collapsed already after the 1st session; gradual reappearance of a normal sleep even in the evening; no more drugs after the 4th session; goals achieved; hypnotic work ended.

FOLLOW-UP (3 months): good stability of the improvement.
