Fears & Phobias

Most fears and phobias are created when we are young. We are only born with two fears, and they are falling and loud noise; anything else we learn along the way is mostly from life experiences.

A phobia is an irrational fear to something that is generally harmless. However the sufferer is unable to confront it even if they know they are unlikely to come to any harm. For example, if you were to get stuck in a lift as a child and become very afraid, your brain would take in this negative emotion. It could sink into the subconscious mind convincing you that you are in a dangerous situation and under threat. You then develop this very intense fear of getting into a lift in future, causing you to have an extreme fear or phobia. Our lives can be severely affected by these debilitating fears, stopping us from doing many things.

Hypnotherapy is extremely effective in helping you overcome these fears and phobias by replacing the negative emotions with positive ones, taking away the unnecessary fear. The treatment is very good for fear of flying, public speaking and many more phobias.
