Before I understood the power of hypnotherapy to regain control of my fears, I had all sorts of things that I was afraid of. I never had a fear of flying, but I had to get my wife to sort out spiders in the house, and the thought of speaking in public made my mouth dry up. Thankfully, that is now all gone.
When you step back and look at these fears, they are not rational. Flying is one of the safest forms of transport, spiders (at least in the UK) are not going to hurt you, and there is no way that speaking in public will kill you. We call these irrational fears Phobias.
Phobias are a learned response. Something that happened in the past or something that I learned from other people embedded these fears into my subconscious. It doesn’t matter what it was, and I never had to identify it. The only thing that concerned me was how it effected my life.
The main problem I had was the embarrassment. As a grown man, I was embarrassed to be scared of such little innocuous things. I tried to hide my fears and pretend they were not real – and that actually made the situation worse.
And so I put up with these fears until I discovered the power of hypnotherapy, and I started to understand that it is simply that my subconscious has learned something inappropriate. Hypnotherapy allowed me to get back to normal again.
Since becoming a hypnotherapist, I have had the privilege of helping may people with fears of public speaking, taking exams, wasps, lifts, driving on motorways, and, of course, flying. It is always a delight for me to see my clients simply calm down and return their lives to normal.
The questions you need to ask yourself are: Is my fear something I am prepared to live with for the rest of my life, or do I want to eliminate it? Is this something that really interferes with me living the life that I want to live? Is it worth the time and money to get rid of it?
