Phobias and Fears

Specific (3 sessions)

Hypnotherapy is a quick and effective cure for specific phobias and fears, e.g. aerophobia (fear of flying), arachnophobia (fear of spiders), acrophobia (fear of heights). A specific phobia means that you have an unreasonable or irrational fear related to exposure to specific objects or situations, i.e. if you avoid the object of fear, the phobia does not otherwise affect your life. Normally it will take just 3 sessions after your FREE initial consultation (see click here for price information) to rid yourself of your phobia for good.

The most common worry clients have is that they will have to relive a traumatic memory. This is not the case. During the second session I use the Rewind Technique, an extremely powerful NLP technique, to rerun a memory involving the object of the phobia a number of times in an unemotional way, as if watching the event on a TV screen. This allows the brain to dissociate the object of fear from your emotional response.

 

General (8-12 sessions)

A general phobia means that the fear effects your life in a more general way, making you fearful of everyday situations, e.g. agoraphobia (fear of crowded or open spaces), emetophobia (fear of vomiting), necrophobia (abnormal fear of death).

Of course, sometimes your specific phobia can develop into a general fear, when anxiety levels are particularly high. If you have a general phobia, the treatment process is the same as described in Other Issues and takes between 8 and 12 sessions, after the FREE initial consultation.
