In this episode of the Next Level Healing Podcast, Dr. Tara Perry had the pleasure of interviewing her friend Estella, whom she met at a Dr. Richard Bandler NLP conference. Estella's journey of overcoming a severe snake phobia in less than an hour serves as a powerful testament to the transformative potential of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).

The conversation begins by reflecting on Estella's intense fear of snakes, which had previously dominated her life to the point where she avoided any mention of them, even on television. Dr. Tara shared her excitement about the opportunity to help her confront this fear, especially since she was not afraid of the other phobias we were addressing that day, such as spiders, heights, and public speaking.

Estella recounted her experience leading up to the moment she had to touch a real snake. Her heart raced, and she felt a mix of horror and disbelief at the thought of facing her fear. However, through her session, Dr. Tara was able to guide her past her resistance, and she ultimately found the courage to not only touch the snake but to embrace it. This breakthrough was not just about the snake; it symbolized conquering fears that had held her back in various aspects of her life.
