Phobias
Anxiety Disorder
Phobias are a form of anxiety disorder and take the form of a powerful, often overwhelming, irrational fear. The fear response is very real but out of all proportion to the reality of the perceived threat. The sufferer is fully aware that the response is illogical but the bodily response is so strong that it inhibits the ability to exercise logical thought processes.
Most of us have some form of irrational fear, whether it be afraid to fly or refusing to stay in the same room as a spider, but when the response to the trigger becomes so great that it gets in the way of every day life or places the sufferer in actual physical danger, then it has become a phobia and needs to be dealt with. Clients with dog or wasp phobia have been known to run into traffic to escape or even leave small children unattended in order to escape.
The physical symptoms of a phobia may include the following:
- Panic and intense fear
- A rapid heart beat
- Problems breathing
- Trembling or shaking
- Nightmares/ sleepless nights
- Overwhelming desire to run away or frozen to the spot
Phobias are particularly responsive to a combination of hypnotherapy and NLP . Each client has a different response to the time frame varies. Most phobias are cured in between 1 -3 sessions. Clients are taught how to use relaxation techniques that can be used throughout their life for any stressful situations.
