Fears and PhobiasAre you suffering
from excessive fears about something or do you have a phobia which is
preventing you from living your life fully and joyously?
We all know about common phobias such as fear of
spiders, snakes and enclosed spaces (claustrophobia) but there are phobias for
just about everything in life (for example sickness, nail varnish, policemen,
green chairs, etc) Over the years I've treated hundreds and estimate
a success rate of 80-90% in terms of eradicating or radically softening the
phobias.
Phobias are often caused by some form of trauma
in the past which has created an excess of emotion (usually fear or anxiety) in
the sub-conscious. These past traumas may be events which have taken place
in this life (usually childhood), in Past Lives or in previous generations
(which you have inherited). One way of releasing the phobia is to regress
back to the causal events and unlock and let go of the locked-in emotion using
regression, a standard and safe process when done correctly.
Quite often the causal event is not remembered
consciously, which is where hypnosis can be so effective in guiding back to the
source of the phobia. Sometimes it is possible, however, to clear the
phobia very quickly, without regression, maybe even in one session. In
these cases both EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic
Programming) techniques are highly effective and rapid.
A few case studies
Sharon came to me with a
severe dog phobia - one of the most severe phobias I have yet seen. She
was hardly able to leave her house for fear of seeing a dog. If she
happened to see one - even in the distance - she had massive panic attacks which
left her debilitated. She wanted to go on holiday to stay with her
daughter, but as her daughter owned a dog this meant putting the animal in
kennels whilst she was there.We discovered the cause of
the phobia was a forgotten memory of when she was two or three years old and she
was bitten by a dog whilst strapped in her pushchair. Sharon released the
locked-in fear and anxiety and a few weeks later went to stay at her daughter's
home. On her return she proudly brought me photographs of herself holding
the dog on a lead - something she had never been able to do before.
Michelle had a phobia of
birds. She could remember clearly where it came from - in a park when
young being dive-bombed by pigeons and seagulls trying to get at the food she
was holding. Using an NLP Technique she was cleared of the phobia in
minutes.
Malcolm was a teacher with
agoraphobia - this stemmed from events in two past lives and having regressed
into them the phobia disappeared completely.
Pat had a flying phobia so
severe that in the past she had turned round at the airport and gone back home
rather than fly off on her holiday. Using EFT the phobia was cleared in
one session and she sent me a lovely postcard from her holiday saying how easy
the flight had been for her.
These are just a few cases
from my files. I love treating phobias and in my opinion there is no
reason for anyone to suffer from them as they usually respond so well to
hypnotherapy, NLP or EFT.
