Fears & Phobias

Home Fears & Phobias

Often we as psychologists come to realize that the fears, phobias, anxieties and depressions experienced by so many of us emanate from traumas of an earlier time. Some of these traumas, for various reasons, become severely entrenched and therefore require more root cause work. Hypnosis has again been shown to be very effective in unlocking and disengaging the trauma thus allowing the patient to let go and move on.

Definition of Fear:

An emotion of varying intensity aroused by a recognized and logical threat and involving the flight/fight response. It aroused a feeling of unpleasant tension and a strong impulse to escape as well as certain physiological changes.
