I hate to fly! |

One of the primary reasons people seek therapy is the need to deal with fear reactions. The range of such problems is quite extensive, ranging from simple annoying "hang ups" to full-blown phobias that may be a part of serious mental illness. Common Problems The usual apprehensions that may exist in relative degrees of severity include fear of flying, high places, rejection, failure and even success. Fear of pain, exposure, death, and the unknown are also common. Fears are not necessarily bad; in fact, they can be highly valuable if they serve useful purposes such as instilling caution in driving, locking doors, or being prepared for emergencies. But when a fear causes the alteration of a normal lifestyle, creating intense and irrational behaviors that pose a threat to a person's well-being, it merits close attention. Frequent occurrence of these fears should be regarded as a strong warning signal that needs to be heeded. How Can Hypnosis Help? Hypnosis can help by reaching the subconscious mind where the fears are, and helping that part of the self understand that time has passed and there is no reason to continue fearing. Suggestions are given to alleviate the anxiety. |
