Phobias and Hypnotherapy
What is a phobia?
It can be described as an irrational fear of something.
That does not make the fear any less real!
Phobias can be a fear of any number of things, people, events or situations. These include:
- Fear of spiders
- Fear of certain animals or plants
- Fear of flying
- Fear of dentists and doctors
- Fear of blood
- Fear of heights
- Fear of open spaces
- Fear of closed spaces
- Fear of thunder
- Fear of failure
This is just a small selection of the range of phobias that exist. Suffering from one or more of these can cause anxiety attacks and generally disrupt a person’s life to a lesser or greater degree – sometimes even making day to day activities seem almost impossible.
Hypnotherapy can help you deal with the distress, anxiety, panic and obsessions that can occur as a result of these phobias.
Hypnotherapy can help:
- Uncover the underlying causes or triggers that lay in the subconscious
- Understand the ‘reason’ behind your phobia
- Desensitise you to the ‘triggers’
- Reprogramme the response to these triggers through hypnotic suggestion
The number of sessions needed will vary depending on the individual and their particular case.
