CAN HYPNOSIS HELP WITH MY FEAR OF SPIDERS?
JUNE 2000Dear Del,
I have such a strong fear of spiders that I don't want to be in a house that has one. This makes my social live more complicated than it needs to be. Can hypnosis help me?Hypnosis is a highly effective method for conquering fears and phobias very quickly, (1) by helping the subconscious self become realistic about the situation; (2) by facing the original source of the fear; and (3) by giving suggestions that guide you through such situations in a relaxed and un-fearful way. Your deeper self soon accepts this new approach to spiders, or birds, or snakes, or crossing bridges, or any other kind of fear.A good therapist will want to help you seek out the source of your fear or phobia. Then he/she will help you "clear up" that source of fear, through methods that give assurance there is no longer danger, or by handling some issue that the phobia is merely a symbol of. Once that has been accomplished, then suggestions that you are unafraid will be accepted by the unconscious/subconscious levels of your mind.
Here is what one of my clients said about her own fear, which was just like yours when she first came to me: "Miracle of miracles, I was able to be in the same room with a spider, and actually sit and watch it move across the windowsill near me without flinching, or feeling that I had to leave immediately. What amazes me even more, is the other fears I had, such as crossing bridges and being in high places, are also gone."
