What is a Phobia?

​

A phobia is an overwhelming and debilitaing fear of a specific object, situation, place, feeling or animal. Many times the fear behind a phobia is irrational, but the ‘unconscious’ part of your mind creates immense fear around whatever the phobia may be, thinking it is protecting you.

This can result in feeling very distressed, the fight/flight response being triggered and even fainting.

​

Phobias most often originate in childhood, but can also happen in adulthood, usually linked to highly emotional incidents from the past.

​

How can Hypnotherapy help?

​

Hypnotherapy can help by identifying the root cause of the phobia or fear, releasing stuck emotions from past traumas and inducing a relaxed trance state, in order to create a safe, relaxing enviornment to desensitise the phobia.
