Hypnotherapy for Phobias
Fear is one of our most primeval responses. It keeps us safe in dangerous situations and causes us to be alert and responsive, so that we can react. However, when a fear begins to take over our lives, becoming an irrational response to a trigger, then it is no longer just a fear but a phobia. Phobia’s can disrupt people’s lives in quite significant ways. At one end it can cause an overwhelming sense of fear and panic, but on the other end the fear can grow to become the focus of that person’s life.
Unless you suffer from a phobia yourself, it can often be hard to understand the panic and fear that is triggered in a phobic response. This is especially true when the thing that triggers the response is something that most people deal with on a regular basis without a second thought. The symptoms can range from feelings of panic, racing heart, dizziness to an overwhelming desire to run away to avoid the problem, no matter how inconvenient it may be to do so.
Having a phobia has nothing to do with bravery or confidence. It is in fact an anxiety disorder that lives deep within the individual’s subconscious mind. This is one of the reason’s that hypnosis can be such an effective way to overcome phobias, as hypnosis deals with the phobia where it lives, in the subconscious mind.
Lisa uses both hypnosis and NLP techniques, similar to the approach used by many of the hypnosis programs that you see on TV, when working with client’s suffering from a phobia. There are no shock tactics used and most phobias can be eliminated in two sessions, replacing the fear with feelings of confidence and calm.
