Summit, NJ – Recent reports of a significant increase of scary clowns invading neighborhoods and threatening people, has brought the issue of people’s fear of clowns to the fore. New Jersey hypnotist Marc Marshall recently posted an article on his website’s blog (www.hypnomarc.com) being read by thousands of people all over the world. Marshall who helps people resolve fears and phobias in the course of his daily practice in Summit, NJ, uses his expertise as a professional hypnotist to address what is often paralyzing fear. While it is normal to see an uptick in calls as we approach Halloween, he noted that the recent news reports of scary clown sightings has resulted in more calls than he has previously seen.
Coulrophia, the fear of clowns, is now recognized as a real condition that has its roots in our childhood experience. In the article, Marshall notes that popular media has helped to exacerbate the situation through popular movies such as the Spielberg/King collaboration of “IT”, the Joker in the Batman movies, and clowns like “Twisty” in the American Horror Freak Show.

Psychologists attribute the fear to the grotesque, unnatural appearance of the human face and body which triggers the fight/flight/freeze mechanism in our subconscious minds. The unusual appearance is particularly frightening to young children who are taught to avoid strangers. When asked to describe bad stranger, children often think that “bad strangers” look scary.
As with other fears, the trauma of being frightened by clowns tends to originate in childhood experiences and often magnifies in adulthood through a negative reinforcing feedback loop. Marshall works with clients to address the issue during the hypnosis session.
