FEARS AND PHOBIAS

 

Are you plagued by suffocating fears and anxieties ?

Do they prevent you from leading a normal, fulfilling life?

Would you like to feel calmer, more in control and able to deal with these fears?

Hypnotherapy can help you achieve this.

 

Fear is a very natural response. It is a natural part of our evolution and has aided our survival for many centuries.

However, sometimes fears can develop for no real reason. These fears can actually make us believe we are in a very dangerous, life threatening situation, even though rationally we know we are not.

 

So where do these fears come from ?

We learn fear from being in a very unpleasant or maybe, dangerous situation. We also learn fear from others.

In the eyes of a child, an adult knows everything and is always right. So if the adult is scared of something, to the child, this must be something that they should be scared of too.

At this point, the adult has “imprinted” their fear upon the child. This is then sealed in the child’s sub-conscious mind.

Even if our conscious mind has forgotten it, our sub-conscious will act to keep us safe, reminding us that a certain event/ place is very dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. So we begin to use avoidance strategies or other coping mechanisms to deal with the perceived threat.

For Example, a person scared of driving on a motorway will seek out all the A and B roads to get to their destination rather than risk using the motorway. Or, a person with a social phobia will become ill on the night of a get together with friends.

 

A fear, or phobia can be a life long problem, becoming so strong that it controls and restricts what we do and where we go. In other words, it can affect our careers, our relationships and our daily lives.

Things can become so bad that eventually even thinking about that fear or phobia could be so anxiety provoking, that a panic attack could be the result.

 

Hypnotherapy has proved to be very successful in the treatment of fears and phobias.

Hypnosis can help by unlocking the cause of the fear. Once the cause has been discovered and with the appropriate treatment, tailored specifically for you , you will feel more in control and will begin to see the changes in your behaviours. You will gain more and more confidence as your sub conscious learns to associate new behaviors to what was once a negative pattern.

 

Imagine your life and all that you can accomplish without these fears holding you back!

Being able to stay calm and focused.

Eliminate your anxieties.

Feel fearless, in control and free at last !
