What is an effective treatment for severe fear of dying and depression about aging?
3 other options 1) Get a lot older. You come to terms with the idea as you age & the thought of death becomes a friend rather than an enemy 2) Get a faith. I’d recommend Christianity or Judaism as they deal with death. 3) Future Traumatic Incident Reduction (FTIR). I’ve never done this with a client, but it is possible to talk through ageing & death as though it were already happening & you come to terms with it. But normal TIR might work just as well if it becomes possible to find an incident that caused these fears to emerge in the first place. I’ve never tried hypnosis, but some people say it can work well on the treatment of irrational fears. Just look around your area for the therapists that are available & give them a go. Different ones offer different approaches & it’s quite possible that one of them will come up with something that helps. If the first one you try doesn’t help, try another. They’re all a bit different.
