Yes but that still makes it a placebo I guess. The belief itself is what's dispelling the fear... It doesn't actually "do" or change anything externally and any increase in success levels are down to the individual being relaxed and confident, rather than having had a "helping hand".
However, I don't actually see how any of this is paradoxical... There's no paradox, more of an irony.
