Phobias
 How
they affect us
Many of us have fears of objects, places
and events which can unsettle us, but most likely we’ll
put down to our own silliness. You might not like spiders very
much and avoid touching them or having them near you but you
won’t have creepy crawlies on your mind all the time,
the fear only kicks in when you actually encounter one, so it
doesn’t have the power to really affect your life.
A person with a strong fear of spiders,
(arachnaphobia), will find that their fear has the power to
dominate their thoughts and control their behaviour. They’ll
be looking out for possible spider hiding places, they’ll
avoid places or activities where they might come into contact
with spiders, and on meeting one, their level of anxiety and
stress will be way out of proportion to the possible risk
of harm to themselves.
What are they?
Whatever the type of phobia a person has
(see the list below) they are all essentially the same thing,
“a symbolic outward expression of an internal anxiety”.
When we have bottled-up emotions stuck inside of us they create
anxiety but, because we are not aware of these emotions’
existence, as they were formed way back in our childhood,
we cannot explain away this anxiety, it is a nameless, formless,
timeless something inside ourselves but outside our own control.
The mind finds this difficult to deal with,
so projects it outside of ourselves to a symbolic real situation
or object within the environment. Once ‘out there’
we can begin to explain our fear and go about avoiding this
thing (knives, needles, dogs, blood etc.) or this place (cliffs,
lifts, outside the front door) or this event (travelling,
speaking at a conference, going to a strange toilet), and
in this way keep us free from anxiety.
The problems come, however, when the phobia
starts taking over making life difficult and unhappy.
Treating phobias -- with
Hypnoanalysis
At Emma Daffern Hypnotherapy I use Pure
Hypnoanalysis which is a highly successful, effective treatment
for phobias. Using this empowering analytical therapy you
can gain access to your subconscious and, through the natural
process of free association, uncover these bottled-up emotions
and release them once and for all. With these hidden feelings
gone there is no longer any internal anxiety and no longer
any phobia, nor the risk that your fears will just manifest
themselves in a different way.
Treating phobias -- with
Changing Limiting Beliefs program
For some clients the best route to overcoming
their phobia is using the Changing Limiting Beliefs program.
By discovering much more about their own personalities; their
personal level of self-esteem and how to raise it, and the
secrets of how their minds work in conjunction with their
bodies, phobia sufferers hold the key to taking control of
their problem permanently.
