HYPNOTHERAPY AND NLP AND HOW I CAN HELP WITH FEARS AND PHOBIAS, OF ANIMALS AND CREATURES, OF FLYING, HEIGHTS, NEEDLES, THE DENTIST, OF SICKNESS AND BEING ILL, CLAUSTROPHOBIA AND AGORAPHOBIA … AND MORE

In Brief – A Description Of A Phobia – Defined
A phobia is defined as an unnecessary and/or excessive anxiety in a specific situation or in the presence of a specific object. It is estimated that 20% of people can fit this description and if left unchanged this can last their whole life. Hypnotherapy and NLP can help with this often in one session.

Some of the most usual phobias are heights, flying, public speaking, the dark, spiders, snakes, birds, dogs, fear of rejection, claustrophobia, agoraphobia, fear of failing, a fear of illness, of dying and death, germs and of hospitals, fear of needles and fear of the dentist. 

Simple phobias are something specific to a object or situation such as a fear of spiders, dogs, bees, heights (falling), flying, injections, germs, vomiting, claustrophobia and a fear of thunderstorms being common simple phobias.

Other examples of phobias please see  HubpagesPhobia(Q) and About.com Psychology.

Social phobias are by definition a fear of other people’s opinions and are related confidence issues. They include a fear of taking exams and public speaking, these can then be defined as a fear of failure, of rejection or of disapproval from the other person. 

Agoraphobia is literally a fear of everything, it translates from Greek as “fear of the marketplace”. It is often associated with severe and pervasive anxiety as well as panic disorder or panic attacks. A person suffering from agoraphobia will often have either a simple or a social phobia as a root to their problem.  

A simple definition of fear is a “response to a situation/object which is disproportionate to the actual threat represented by the situation/object”. When related to phobias would be a feeling of agitation and anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger. Another definition in relation to social phobias could be the apprehension of an event which could cause anxiety and agitation.So it can be said that fears and phobias are related but can be treated effectively with hypnotherapy and NLP and often within one session.

Success rates

With a simple phobia or social phobia we can expect about 1-2 sessions with a 95% chance of success. Both hypnotherapy and NLP are highly effective with phobias as the success rate suggests.

Agoraphobia due to its potential complexity can take anywhere between 2 – 4 sessions and this really is down to identifying the root cause which does typically have a simple or social phobic beginning. Combining hypnotherapy and NLP can be highly effective when working with agoraphobia with positive life changing results can be seen in a relatively short space of time.
