Hypnotherapy and Phobias: Overcoming Fear

Through Deep Inner Power

Phobias are intense and irrational fears of specific objects, situations, or activities, often leading to avoidance behaviour and significant distress. While conventional treatments like exposure therapy and cognitive-behavioural techniques (CBT) are commonly used, Hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro linguistic programming) offers a unique and effective approach to tackling phobias.

Hypnotherapy leverages the power of hypnosis—a state of deep relaxation and heightened suggestibility— with effective, evidence based therapy, to access the inner mind. In the context of phobias, it aims to uncover the root causes of fear responses and reframe negative associations with triggers.

A fear or phobia can be a result of a one time learning. For example, a large rat runs across your path when you least expect and it startles you, or you brush a hair off your face to discover it wasn't a hair - and that startles you. That can be the start of a life time of phobia.

As the body and the survival part of the brain are responsible for remembering these things to keep us safe, we may not even remember the moment a fear was embedded. Fears and phobias can also be irrational due to this survival instinctual response.

The good news is, one time learning can be as easily undone as is is installed in that survival mechanism of ours.
