Deal with Fears and Phobias
Many people have fears or phobias that can range from being an irritation to something that completely takes over their lives. Often people know that there is no rational basis for the fear or phobia but knowing this doesn't’t seem to help, if anything it just adds to the sense of frustration and leads to people beating themselves up. Sincere efforts to help from friends and family often make things worse or at best are ineffective.
Hypnotherapy works very effectively for fears and phobias, and often very rapidly. It can help you to understand the phobia or fear on a deeper level and take back control quickly, gently and permanently.
How do I know if I have a phobia?
Fears usually focus around a real (at least potentially) source of danger. Phobias occur when a very strong response of fear and anxiety becomes attached to a particular thing or situation. In many ways phobias are about fear of fear, if you remember feeling very frightened by something very commonplace, e.g. a mouse and consciously you realise that your response was out of proportion your unconscious mind will take steps to make sure you avoid that situation and those extremely unpleasant feelings, so as soon it senses the possibility of this happening.
Phobias can focus on almost anything, e.g. animals, objects, situations, activities. Some people also experience what is known as social phobia which means that people experience pronounced anxiety for example when being in a group situation, meeting new people entrainment situations etc.
Many people have the impression that to deal with phobias you need either to understand the cause, or be exposed to the object of your phobia. Although it can sometimes be useful to have some insights into the cause, generally speaking this is simply untrue, nor will you be exposed to the object or situation you fear. Hypnotherapy is very gentle and effective and when done correctly you can be confident that you won’t be replacing one fear with another.
