What is fear coaching?
Fear coaching is a form of coaching with the goal to dissolve fears and mental blocksAn anxiety coach works with their coachees to teach them techniques that can help control and overcome stressful feelings like anxiety.
But “anxiety coaching” is actually a wrong term. Because it suggests that coaches are allowed to treat anxiety disorders such as social anxiety, phobias and generalized anxiety disorders. But that is not the case! Diagnosed anxiety disorders can only be treated by doctors, alternative practitioners and psychotherapists. However, a coach can help people to deal with undiagnosed and personal emotional stress such as dealing with life crises, anxiety or stress.
A more precise term would be “coaching against anxiety” or “coaching for emotional stress”. For the sake of better understanding, however, we will stick to the common terms “anxiety coaching” and “anxiety coach” in this article.
An example:
- You suffer from diagnosed claustrophobia: Please contact a psychotherapist.
- After separating from your partner, you don't know how to cope on your own and this is putting a lot of emotional strain on you: a coach can help you.
By the way: Chronic stress is ultimately also a symptom of anxiety – even if many people are not aware of it. Find out more about it here: chronic stress treatment
For example, the coach can teach you how to…
- the origin of your fear you can avoid
- negative thoughts and Recognizing Beliefs and transform into positive thoughts
- let go of worries
- the negative thought spiral, catastrophic thinking and interrupt your brooding
- relaxation techniques for anxiety use to calm yourself during acute anxiety attacks
- your self-confidence increase
The Goal of Fear Coaching is to help you gain greater control over your anxiety and live a happy and fulfilling life.

When is psychotherapy necessary for anxiety?
There are various ways to deal with anxiety. Not everyone needs psychotherapy. However, if it is a serious anxiety disorder, psychotherapy is necessary. In other cases of anxiety without a diagnosed illness, other treatment methods such as coaching - whether it is called anxiety coaching or mental coaching etc. - can help to reduce or even completely eliminate the symptoms.
The numerous positive and very appreciative feedback from over 10,000 people treated with PALMTHERAPY speaks for itself.
The biggest advantage of coaching with PALMTHERAPY is that anxious people do not have to wait months for a treatment place. This is often the norm with psychotherapists. In addition, very good treatment results can often be achieved much more quickly, perhaps after just one or two sessions. However, this varies from person to person.
