Cure your phobia and panic attacks at Grantham Hypnotherapy practice

Phobias are quite simply, an external projection of an internal anxiety.

A phobia is an accentuation of a fear often completely debilitating and curtailing one's activity. The fear of being caught in the grip of a full blown panic attack is so great that the fear drives the Phobia.

Take an example of a person with a fear of flying. Their fear of flying might be such that they have in fact, never even stepped onto a plane, let alone flown! They are in the grip of a fear of which they have no real experience or understanding. More likely this person has created an external projection of an internal anxiety (possibly a feeling of not feeling safe or being out of control).

On the other hand, another client may present themselves with say a fear of horses and tell you clearly that it started at the age of 6, after a hefty kick from one! This makes perfect sense to the client so why can’t they just overcome their fear?
Because it is the underlying emotion which is causing an external projection of an internal anxiety.

How can hypnotherapy help my phobia?
Hypnotherapy is well known for being able to combat anxiety and panic feelings. Treatment could take the form of suggestion therapy sessions for 'minor' anxieties such as a fear of flying or fear of dentists, or hypnoanalysis can be utilised in more serious cases to resolve the underlying issues and emotions thus freeing the person from their phobia and its effects.

Hypnoanalysis is more effective for 'serious' phobias such as Social Anxiety, Emetophobia, Coprophobia, Shy bladder syndrome, Social Phobia etc.
