REMOVING FEARS
Phobias, Anxiety Attacks
and Stress
Hypnosis has a
long history of helping people removing fears across the whole spectrum
- from simple stress reduction, to severe anxiety attacks to full-blown
phobic responses.
To get an idea
how hypnosis can help with phobias, let's look at how a phobia is
created to begin with.
Say a child
develops a fear of snakes because her big brother tosses a dead snake
at her as a joke. In the moments where the snake is hurtling
towards her face and she thinks it's real time seems to slow
down. She imagines a deadly and dangerous animal about to get her
and her limbic system floods her body with the hormones that cause
sheer terror within her. She is, in effect "entranced" in that
moment and from then on she never forgets to be afraid of snakes.
It is a
one-time learning that happens in an altered state. Just
like hypnosis.
Your brain is
made in such a way that you can learn very quickly if you are in
an altered state of consciousness. That means you can also
unlearn just as quickly. Phobias are routinely cured
permanently in 1-3 sessions.
Notice by the
way what role the pictures our little girl created in her fear.
Big scary pictures in her mind created big fearful emotions.
People have
similar reactions every day to a lesser degree that we call
stress. You might worry about you daughter getting home from
school on time... or a report getting to the boss on schedule... or
what someone is saying behind your back... or what your husband
meant... or about getting hit while in bad traffic... or any of
thousands of scary little imaginings that flash through your mind
throughout the day. Most of them are completely subconscious -
that is... you aren't aware you are even having them.
But with every
little scary thought comes a little trickle of adrenaline into your
system. Each little drop by itself would be no big deal, but the
problem is that most people's bodies are like a bath tub with the drain
plugged. Even a little drip if you let it go long enough will
eventually cause the tub to overflow.
And that's what
happens when people suffer from chronic stress or anxiety
attacks. Thousands of scary and errant thoughts along with
lifestyle choices such as a poor diet and lack of exercise cause that
emotional tub to overflow.
Hypnosis
helps for several reasons.
- It can
help you gain control of errant thoughts that cause stress.
- It can
help you make lifestyle changes that effect your body
chemistry.
- It can
help you learn to put deep relaxation under your conscious control
- effectively allowing you to "drain the tub."
Studies have
show hypnosis helpful in relieving numerous conditions that arose from
stress by relieving the underlying condition. Examples include
skin conditions, lupus, chronic pain and high blood pressure.
