People with phobias suffer from an intense fear or even panic reaction to a specific object or situation. I believe that most people who have a phobia are already very adept at doing hypnosis!

When you have a phobic response, it is usually the result of creating an intense, negative picture in your mind of some kind of trauma or strife that might happen related to an object or situation. The picture is so intense that the body has a physiological response to the picture of danger which causes the person to go into fight or flight mode.

Through expert hypnosis consulting, you can learn to take control of your thoughts and release fears and phobias. You can learn how to have a relaxation response to fear and anxiety instead of the old fight or flight response. Think of hypnosis as a tool for learning how to stop the anxious thoughts and conditioning the mind to more positive ways of thinking.

Here are some common areas where people have successfully used hypnosis:
· Acrophobia: Fear of heights
· Agoraphobia: Fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places or leaving a safe place.
· Aichmophobia: Fear of needles or pointed objects
· Aviatophobia: Fear of flying
· Claustrophobia: Fear of confined spaces.

· Driving Phobia: Fear of driving
· Herpetophobia: Fear of reptiles or insects.
