Fear of choking, or phagophobia, can be deeply distressing for children, significantly impacting their ability to eat and enjoy meals. This anxiety might stem from a past choking incident or develop without a clear cause. Hypnosis offers a gentle therapeutic option, helping children manage their fear by relaxing the mind, altering their perceptions of eating, and fostering a sense of control over their swallowing process. Through guided imagery and suggestion, hypnosis can effectively alleviate this phobia.
