Releasing the Fear of Illness and Writing a New Story of Health By Leigh Kubin, CHt, MCLC

Recently, I worked with a woman who came to me carrying a deep fear of illness. It was always in the background—an ever-present worry that something could go wrong inside her body. She told me, “I just want to feel free again. I want to believe my body is strong and capable. I’m tired of living in fear.”

And that’s exactly what we did together.

We began to unwind the narrative she had been repeating for years—the one shaped by past experiences, what-if scenarios, and the noise of worst-case thinking. Fear had become a habit—not because she was weak, but because the story she’d been telling herself had been rehearsed so many times that her body believed it.

But here’s the beautiful truth: just like a fearful story can become reality, so can a story of healing, trust, and vitality.

Using hypnotherapy, NLP techniques, and powerful teachings inspired by Napoleon Hill, we rewrote the script. Together, we created space to reconnect with the body's innate intelligence—its ability to regenerate, adapt, and heal.

One of the first shifts came when she visualized her body as a magnificent machine, tuned with precision and guided by a wise inner mechanic who knew exactly what to do. This wasn’t a poetic exercise. It was mental rehearsal—a powerful tool that helps the brain and body form new pathways and responses.

She began to picture herself waking up each day feeling energized, clear, and strong. She saw herself trusting her body again, breathing fully, laughing often. And most importantly, she felt it.

That’s when the magic started.

Her nervous system responded to her new thoughts. Her body relaxed. Her mind began to partner with her, rather than resist her. By the end of our session, she no longer felt afraid of her body. She felt in awe of it. And she left with a new belief:

“My body is not something I need to fear. It is something I can trust.”

This is the kind of transformation that hypnotherapy can support. We’re not just healing thoughts—we’re activating belief systems that support the life you truly want to live.

If you've been stuck in fear, anxiety, or old stories that don’t serve you anymore, you're not alone—and you’re not broken.

You’re simply ready to write a new story. A story of health. A story of trust. A story of freedom.

I’d be honored to help you begin.
