What is a Phobia?

We are born with a fear of only two things: loud noises and falling. All other fears are learned. The great news is that if you have learned it then you can unlearn it.

Phobias are a common type of anxiety disorder which can be described as an overwhelming and debilitating fear of an object, place, situation, feeling or animal. They develop when a person has an exaggerated or unrealistic sense of danger about a situation or object.

Your brain is always trying to protect you, scanning the environment for any signs of danger. However, sometimes it gets it wrong and is fooled into thinking something is dangerous when in fact it is not. A “fight or flight” response is triggered when the brain perceives danger, flooding the body with adrenaline and other stress hormones such as cortisol.

Hypnotherapy to Overcome Fears and Phobias

Hypnotherapy is a very effective approach for overcoming fears and phobias quickly and easily.  It uses the power of the subconscious mind to address the root causes of irrational fears by reprogramming negative thought patterns and responses, replacing fear with a sense of calm and confidence.  It is possible to overcome phobias in just one session although sometimes more sessions are needed.

How good would it feel to reduce or get rid of your phobia forever?  Take that first step and get in touch.  There is nothing to fear.
