Dealing with Fears and Phobias.
Is your life being held back by fears or a phobia that seems beyond your
control?
Fears
Fears may be caused by something that is real or imagined that puts you
in a heightened state of stress, so that you are ready to deal with the
source of that fear, e.g. fear of flying. However, your fears may be irrational
or non- specific and this can make you feel even more out of control, giving
you a feeling of impending doom.
Phobias
A phobia is an irrational fear where you may experience intense feelings of
panic or terror and is usually caused by a situation or object that is really
no significant threat to your safety e.g. a fear of insects. Avoidance of
the object or situation may make things worse and intensify that fear.
Types of phobias that can be treated include:
- Social phobia
- Fear of flying
- Animals e.g. snakes, spiders, insects etc.
- Commitment phobia
- Dental phobia
- Enclosed / Open spaces
- Heights
Treating Fears and Phobias.
Alix Needham has successfully treated
many people suffering from a large variety of fears and phobias. She uses
both hypnotherapy and NLP and adapts a program specifically to you. The
benefits are enormous; no matter how well you cope with a phobia, it is
always restricting your life - in some cases it can dominate your life -
But phobias are easily overcome. Both NLP and hypnotherapy allow you to
re-program the way you react to certain situations - it is a process you
are conscious of and allows you to take control of your life. Phobias really
can be a thing of the past and leaving them behind allows you to put your
energy into more constructive things in life.
