Fears and Phobias
Does this fear or phobia mean you miss out on life?
Fear is a natural, essential human emotion. However, at times it can become irrational and escalate, regularly affecting your behaviour and thoughts.
Our brains are very clever at keeping us safe. So, they can lead us to avoiding situations that may cause us distress – where there might be a spider or from going up high for example.
This can have a huge impact on an individual’s daily life’
For some people, fears can get to a point where they affect life on a daily basis and for others these fears become so overwhelming, they completely take over.
Some people know the exact root cause of their fear, for example, being scratched by a cat when you were young can result in the irrational fear of cats. Some fears or phobias can become buried so deep in the subconscious mind that very often we do not know why it has developed.
Though the list is endless, some common fears or phobias are.
- Heights (acrophobia)
- Spiders/insects((arachnophobia)
- Confined spaces (claustrophobia)
- Animals
- Lifts
- Social interaction
- Driving
- Fear that you may need to use the toilet in a situation where there isn’t one.
- Open spaces (agoraphobia)
If you have a fear or a phobia, it is a very real and powerful feeling, but perhaps you hesitate to talk about it to others because they might not understand why you feel you just cannot do certain things.
Whatever your fears and phobias and regardless of if you know their origin or not hypnotherapy can free you and enable you to get on and enjoy your life.
Fears and phobias exist in our subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy can help find the cause if you are unaware of it and to help rationalise, reframe, and overcome it.
Sensitively combining this with positive reprogramming, guided imagery, positive suggestion and NLP techniques means your fear or phobia can easily and quickly become a thing of the past.
