Phobias & Fears

If you have a phobia and/or inappropriate fear, then you probably realise that your fear is out of proportion but you are still unable to control your feelings.

Often merely thinking about the object you fear, or seeing it on TV or a computer screen, may make you anxious. Actually being exposed to the thing you fear feels overwhelming and the terror may seem beyond your control.

Fears and phobias can impact on your life in many ways. They can disrupt your day, prevent you from having medical treatment because you have a fear of needles (Trypanophobia), or a fear of hospitals (Nosocomephobia)/fear of doctors (Iatrophobia). A fear of bees (Apiphobia) could stop you joining friends or family in the garden or park on a lovely summer day.

Fears and Phobias can put a strain on your relationships, embarrass you, affect your confidence and self-esteem and stop you from doing so many things that you would really like to do.

Even if you are able to make yourself go to places that you would like to go or do things you would like to do, your fear or phobia will still reduce your enjoyment.

What you may not realise, is that even when the object of your fear of or phobia is not present e.g. the spider, the bird, flying etc., you will still be experiencing an unnecessary level of anxiety, because your subconscious mind will always be on the alert for the object of your fear.

I do not use ‘exposure therapy’ with my clients (gradually increasing the level of exposure to the object of your fear).

As the triggers for the Phobia/Fear comes from the subconscious, analytical hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and emotional freedom techniques (EFT) and mindfulness are quick, effective and very comfortable ways to reach your subconscious and relieve you of the Phobia/Fear for good. Many fears and phobias, depending on their root cause, can often be cured in just one single session.

Imagine how wonderful it would be to be free once and for all of that fear or phobia and the negative impact it has on you, your life and those around you.

It is possible to develop a phobia of almost anything, some people have more than one and it is possible to cure them, here are some of the most common phobias:

Fear of spiders (Arachnophobia)
Fear of snakes (Ophidiophobia)
Fear of heights (Acrophobia)

Fear of moths (Mottephobia)
Fear of butterflies (Lepidopterophobia)
Fear of death or dead things (Necrophobia)
Fear of dogs (Cynophobia)
Fear of confined spaces(Claustrophobia)
Fear of clowns (Coulrophobia)
Fear of dolls (Pediophobia)

Fear of blood (Hemophobia)
Fear of public speaking (Glossophobia)
Fear of darkness (Nyctophobia)

Fear of germs (Mysophobia)
Fear of balloons (Globophobia)
Fear of flying (Aerophobia)

Testimonials

"Diagnosed with emphysema 2 years ago ... had tried to give up using all the usual stuff like patches, pills, fake fags none of it worked, so decided to try hypnosis, it worked in just one go 10 months ago and I don’t miss it at all.

JBH – Derby

"During a period of stress and anxiety in my life, a friend recommended that I talk to Carol. I wasn’t keen on taking anti-depressants but was nervous as I didn’t know anything about how hypnotherapy worked. Carol explained the process and benefits of it, which put my mind at ease. After only a couple of sessions I felt able to get on with my life again. Thank you, Carol.

Claire – Derbyshire

"Failed driving test 3 times ... I was very nervous about trying hypnosis thought it would be like you see on TV, where you don’t know what’s going on and have no control but it wasn’t ... Past my test, I enjoyed it as I felt soooo relaxed and confident’

Philip – Derby

I had a presentation to do and my last presentation I made a complete fool of myself because the nerves were so bad that my throat dried up and I couldn’t get my words out. But thanks to Carol I was able to confront my fear and I went on to do a presentation confidently and I felt so proud of myself when my feedback was " confident and calm manner"

Kim – Nottingham

"I had been three stone over weight, ever since giving birth to my daughter, fifteen years ago ... we discussed my weight problem and my history and decided that I may need more than the single session weight loss programme. Took me less than four months to reach my ideal weight and have kept it off ever since ... I know that I will never go back to thinking about food the way I used’.

Sally – Ashby De la Zouch

"One session was all it took and listening to the CD at home, can’t begin to tell you what a change it has made to my life, being free of all that weight. Finally the real me is revealed."

Angela – Nottinghamshire

"Was I nervous? – yes. Did I think it would work? – wasn’t sure. Am I glad I tried it? – absolutely. I’ve not only lost weight but I’ve gained confidence, peace and tranquillity."
