Fears and Phobias
Specific fears and phobias can mean you avoid doing certain things and are not able to do the things you want to do. They can also increase stress/anxiety in general. Solution focused hypnotherapy can be very useful way of helping you overcome fears and phobias to lead the life you want and be free to do the things you want to do.
What is hypnotherapy for phobias?
​
Hypnotherapy for phobias is about helping you to feel calm and in control when faced with the thing or situation that caused you to feel fearful.
​
The goal is for you not to be bothered by it or for it to stop you doing the things you want to do. The aim is for you not to be anxious at the thought of it or feel you have to avoid situations where you will have to encounter it: to react to it in the way other people do who do not have a phobia.
How does Hypnotherapy for Phobias work?
Fortunately, there is a way to retrain our brains to overcome specific fears. I use techniques to change the way you react when faced with your fear or phobia. It is a simple process that involves creating a different scenario for when you encounter the object of your phobia and changing your response to it.
We will also help you to process difficult experiences you may have had in the past relate to your phobia: for example a difficult flight or a situation in which you were fearful related to your phobia.
Who is phobia hypnotherapy for?
​
Phobia hypnotherapy is for anyone who has a specific fear of something that stops them from doing the things in life that they want to do whether it be flying to somewhere on holiday or going to the dentist. Some common fears that I work with are flying, travelling, heights, spiders, public speaking, snakes, enclosed spaces, going to the dentist, dogs, holes, the dark, being alone. If your issue is not listed here then I can still help you with this. There is no limit to the things that can be the subject of a phobia.
​
What do you need to do?
You won’t need to talk about any unpleasant experiences or memories. We will focus on helping you learn and experience techniques that are helpful to you.
