Phobias and Fears treated with hypnosis and hypnotherapy at the London Bridge Hypnotherapy Clinic
Fear is a normal response to a genuine danger. With phobias, however, the fear is excessive and irrational often causing the sufferer to experience intense feelings of panic, terror, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, trembling and an overwhelming desire to flee the situation. Phobias are very common and affect people of all ages, from all walks of life and in every part of the country. It is estimated that at least 10% or more of the population experience a phobia at some point in their life. If the phobia is of a common object or situation the disability can be severe. What are phobias? Nearly all of us have some fears that tend to make us feel uncomfortable from time to time. However, when the emotions are sufficiently bottled up, the inner mind will create a phobia. A phobia is a pathological fear which is incredibly intense and totally uncontrollable. Many phobias appear to make no sense at all. If we take a fear of flying, for example, logically the sufferer will know that flying is one of the safest forms of transport there is but they still feel completely powerless and terrified sitting in the cramped cabin of the plane. On a conscious level, the sufferer is experiencing a fear of being 'out of control' and this can cause them to feel shaky, short of breath, palpitations, sweating etc. The phobia, however, is just a symbolic representation of bottled up emotions that have been locked away in the sufferer's subconscious mind. There is no reason why anyone should have to put up with something that is inside of themselves but outside of their control. The only way to get rid of the phobia permanently is to release the bottled up emotions that are causing it. These emotions are locked away and the sufferer has no conscious awareness of them. Hypnoanalysis will find and release the cause of the problem and the symptoms will simply disappear - for good! Symptoms of a phobia
Panic Attacks (Panic Disorder) Panic attacks can be extremely frightening. People experiencing an attack usually suffer the same symptoms as those that occur with phobias. The attack can come on very quickly with the symptoms usually peaking within 10 minutes and lasting up to 20 minutes. Some attacks can go on for longer but this is probably because they are experiencing one attack after another or a high level of anxiety after the initial attack. Often the first attack is totally unexpected and following this you become worried about having another attack. This can lead to a fear of the fear – you become anxious about having an attack and this produces the very thing you are most afraid of.
How do you treat fears, phobias and panic attacks? Fears, phobias and panic attacks respond really well to hypnoanalysis which is a highly effective technique that is painless, fast and safe. The emotions causing this phobia are completely locked away in the depths of the subconscious mind so the phobic has no conscious awareness of them. Unlike hypnoanalysis, where you are talking through the bottled up emotions until they are resolved and released, most of the other therapies have no way of accessing these emotions and experiences. They tend more to try and get you to face your fears which usually only helps for a little while. Hypnoanalysis requires a strong bond of trust and rapport be created between the therapist and the client. Over a period of between 8-12 sessions, we slowly link thoughts and memories back through time using a process called ‘Free Association’ until we reach the bottled up emotions causing the phobia. When these are released, the phobia is gone forever. In my clinic in South London, I am able to efficiently and professionally help you to have relief from your fears, phobias or panic attacks.
