Case Study: Transforming 15 Years of Anxiety Around Sickness with Belief Coding

Before:
Polly Popoff’s client had been living with a debilitating fear of being sick for 15 years. This fear didn’t just cause anxiety; it dominated every part of her life—from her social activities to her eating habits. Despite spending hundreds of pounds on different therapies, nothing worked. It wasn’t until she experienced Belief Coding that she finally found relief.

The Challenge:
For 15 years, her client’s life was controlled by the fear of being sick. This showed up in several ways:

• Panic attacks: Sudden, overwhelming fear of being sick triggered frequent panic attacks.
• Social isolation: She avoided public places like supermarkets, public transport, and social gatherings.
• Unreliability: Plans with friends were often cancelled, and she made excuses to leave events early, even skipping gigs she used to love.
• Restrictive eating: For years, she ate the same foods, avoided eating after 6 PM, and refused to eat with her partner out of fear of getting sick.
• Fear of eating out: Dining in public became impossible, robbing her of the joy of eating with friends or her partner.

Her constant anxiety around food and sickness stopped her from fully enjoying her life.

The Solution:
Through Belief Coding, Polly helped her client work through the deep-rooted beliefs that were fueling her fear. In just one session, they uncovered limiting beliefs tied to childhood memories—where she learned that being sick equated to rejection and discomfort because her mother would reject her whenever she got physically ill.

The Belief Coding Sessions:
During her session, Polly’s client realised that her childhood belief, formed when her mother would reject her during illness, had stayed with her for years. This belief—"being sick means rejection"—was driving her anxiety. Through Belief Coding, Polly’s client was able to rewrite this belief, allowing her to release the fear she had been living with for 15 years.

Results:
The transformation was immediate and life-changing.

• Immediate Results (After 24 Hours): That very night, her client ate after 6 PM for the first time in years. She craved and devoured a large bowl of chicken and cheese pasta without anxiety or nausea.
• One Week Later: She went out with six friends, ate a huge pizza, and continued socialising without feeling anxious or rushing home.
• One Month Later: She attended a music gig—something she had always dreamed of—and enjoyed the entire event without thinking about food or sickness.

After two weeks, Polly’s client had a follow-up session to remove any lingering anxiety. This cleared up any remaining traces of fear, leaving her completely free from the fear of sickness.

• Emotionally: She can now enjoy a wide variety of foods, dine in public, and eat with her partner without fear.
• Socially: Social engagements, including music gigs, which were once impossible, are now part of her life again.

Conclusion:
After 15 years of being controlled by fear and anxiety, Polly’s client is now living a full, liberated life thanks to Belief Coding. Her fear of being sick is gone, and she’s able to enjoy food, social events, and life itself without the constant dread that once dominated her thoughts.
