| Fears
and Phobias can be extremely debilitating, a fear of heights or
enclosed spaces amongst many others, can have a negative effect
on our every day lives.
Our
minds can be re programmed to react to fear, or strong emotions
generated when we encounter real danger by activating our flight
or fight response - a reaction designed to ensure our survival
in hostile environments.
A phobia is created when our mind generates a similar emotional
reaction to something that poses no rational treat or danger,
activating the flight or fight response. These responses can be
as a result of a traumatic experience, but can also be generated
as a result of our thoughts.

By
reducing overall anxiety and desensitising the memory templates
associated with the object of the phobia, which can be anything
from the more common, such as spiders, enclosed spaces and flying
to the unimaginably obscure, we can change the emotional response
and therefore how the mind reacts.
By
using hypnotherapy phobias can usually be dealt with in three
to five sessions.
