Hypnotherapy to cure Fears, Phobias and Panic Attacks
If a fear becomes uncontrollable or irrational it can be described as a phobia. This fear can be expressed as panic and in the absence of any “logical” focus for the fear the sufferer can identify this condition as “panic attacks”. Hypnotherapy, using hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), can be an effective treatment to cure fears, phobias and panic attacks.
Fears, phobias and panic attacks cause unnecessary distress to the sufferer. They erode quality and can even endanger life. It is possible to develop a phobia about anything.
The relationship of a fear to a phobia
A phobia can be composed of two types of fear:
- Rational fear
- Irrational fear
A phobia starts with a rational fear that almost instantaneously becomes irrational as a fear of the fear develops. A phobia is a fear of a fear. Rational fear is derived from a protection mechanism. Our protection mechanism that initiates a phobia can be triggered by:
- Personal experience (e.g. being frightened by a dog)
- The experience of others (e.g. seeing someone else frightened of a dog)
If a phobia is initiated by observing someone becoming frightened the phobia can be described as being “inherited”. Some phobias are generally always “inherited” (e.g. a phobia to spiders or thunder and lightning).
You have a fear of what?!
To complicate matters a rational fear may be assigned rationally or irrationally to something else. This can result in:
- “strange” phobias, like a phobia of the Telecom Tower more>>
- phobia “creep” where fears and phobias multiply more>>
