Sorry, i don't really know how to reply to you on this website. Yeah, they should be in two different categories because hypnosis is terrifying if you think about it, a loss of control of one's body. I'm so sorry; it's really hard going through either of these. I'm not really sure of a solution to this either. You probably already tried this, but I think talking to someone whether that's a therapist, your friends, or you r family could help a little, or, if you're comfortable, maybe sites like this one with people with similar problems. Sometimes it just helps if people know about this and at least try to understand and help you.

It may also help to know or discover how this fear started, when you feel this (what triggers these emotions towards hypnosis), and, (not to be rude, i swear) whether or not we need to know even more about hypnosis than we already do (not sayin g you don't know about it, but apparently there are a lot of myths about hypnosis, and like the dark, people fear whar they don't know, like my other fear of beetles). It may also be helpful to find ways to cope with phobias similar to how to cope with anxiety like breathing (i know it's a constant reminder but please breathe),  distracting yourself from your thoughts and thinking rationally without assuming the worst. I hope things get better for you.
