Take control of your subconscious reactions for a future without fears or phobias 〰️
Are you organising your life around avoiding the things you are afraid of?
A phobia is an exaggerated fear of something, which can cause unnecessary but intense feelings of panic and distress. This can be overwhelming and debilitating, stopping you from the things you want to do and generally making life more difficult than it needs to be.
Phobias may seem irrational, but the brain is actually doing what it is supposed to…
The primitive part of the brain is there to ensure our survival - if a threat is perceived, it sets of the fight-or-flight response in order to keep us safe. The primitive mind doesn’t have recourse to logical thinking. Instead, it gets programmed by past experiences, and the resulting way we react is out of our conscious control.
Why do I have a phobia?
A phobia can be the result of something you have experienced, or it can be a learnt response (i.e. seeing a parent panic every time they see a spider). It can also be something you have created using your imagination - the primitive part of the brain can’t tell the difference between what is real and what is imagined.
Why is my phobia getting worse?
Once the subconscious has this pattern in place, it becomes reinforced with each experience. For example, imagine you have a fear of needles and you go for a blood test. You somehow manage to get through it but were in a terrible state of anxiety and panic. Well, your primitive mind doesn’t know that the reason you survived that situation is because your life was actually not in any danger. It “thinks” is that the fight-or-flight response helped you to survive.
Can I overcome a phobia?
A phobia can be overcome in just 3 hypnotherapy sessions. You will gain an understanding about how your brain works in creating these automatic responses, and we will work directly with the subconscious mind to update that unwanted programme so that you can remain calm and relaxed in that situation in the future.
What clients are saying:
I know what it feels like to have a phobia.
I'm passionate about helping people overcome fears and phobias because I've experienced first-hand just how limiting they can be.
I've always loved travelling, but in my early 20s, I began developing a fear of flying. With every flight, my anxiety grew, until something I loved became a source of dread.
After just three hypnotherapy sessions, I had the opportunity to put the results to the test. To my surprise, I wasn't worrying about my upcoming flight. At the airport, I found myself casually wandering around the shops, feeling calm and relaxed rather than anxious and panicky.
It was a remarkable change. I felt free to enjoy travelling again, without the fear and anxiety that had previously overshadowed the experience. And that change has stayed with me, with no further flying anxiety interfering with my travels.
I know how much of a difference it can make when a fear no longer holds you back.
