Fears
& Phobias
They
can manifest as physical and/or emotional symptoms and create
anxiety. Some of the symptoms of fears and phobias can be:
rapid heart beat, sweaty palms, shallow breathing, gasping
for air, turning red, unable to move, shaking uncontrollably,
unable to think, and avoidance of places where the anxiety
fear response has occurred.
Fears
and phobias stop you from enjoying life and can be alleviated
in just a few sessions.
First
we create the positive outcome (being ok in the presence
of the phobia producing situation) and second look at the
source of the fear or phobia and neutralize it.
Types
of fears and phobias successfully treated with hypnosis:
-
Agoraphobia
(fear of going outside)
-
Animals
(mice, rats, dogs, etc.)
-
Bugs
(spiders, cockroaches)
-
-
-
Driving
(the freeway, over or under bridges, in the mountains)
-
Flying
(airplanes all sizes, short flights and long ones)
-
Food
(foods that have made you sick or that you have an aversion
to)
-
Enclosed
places (elevators, closets, windowless rooms)
-
Heights
(ladders, mountain roads, cliffs, elevators, escalators)
-
Needles
(shots, blood drawn, IV’s)
-
Water
(swimming pools, lakes, rivers)

Laurie, Just letting you know so far all signs have been better
about needles! (after just two sessions!) It seems like many symptoms are gone so I can't wait to see how my next doctor's appointment goes. Thanks! Megan G.
Hi,
Laurie.
I wanted
to let you know how the hypnotherapy worked for Kathryn's
fear of flying. We took her to college last week so I was
with her on two flights. She used her I-Pod (she had downloaded
your tape onto it) on the takeoff. Within about a minute
she was in a light sleep. She woke up about 10 minutes later
relaxed and smiling. On our descent, she did not even use
it and chatted with me the whole way down. This happened
on the next flight as well. She told me she got just a little
bit anxious during some turbulence, but nothing like before.
Thank you so much! It was truly amazing. She flies home
by herself at Thanksgiving but I have no doubt she will
be fine. I am trying to convince my husband to give you
a try. He has a lot of trouble relaxing and has terrible
sleep habits. Thank you again. I can't believe those two
sessions made such a difference.
Karen
