Phobias are extreme fears. They're irrational and you don’t feel the slightest in control of the feeling of panic and dread that takes hold of you when confronted with or even imagining the situation or object of your phobia.

​

Needless to say, this can be debilitating and dent your self-confidence. You may make elaborate plans to avoid your fear, wasting precious time and energy, and getting annoyed with yourself in the process. Your rational mind knows that this is ridiculous but you can’t seem to help yourself. And of course, the more you avoid the object of your fear, the more you reinforce its strength in your mind.

​

The fear often starts when you anticipate what's going to happen. Whatever it is that you are frightened of hasn’t happened yet, but your mind is already imagining. Your body tenses, your heart races, you may start sweating and feel faint and nauseous. The mind is a very powerful tool, everything you imagine feels real to it, this is the why you react so strongly and this is exactly why hypnosis can help you out of this trap. We use your imagination in a strategic, clever and liberating way.
