| One holiday maker found out the hard way that not tackling your phobias can have a serious impact on your love life and your pocket. National newspapers reported this week that a 32 year dog groomer was whisked away for a romantic holiday by her fiancé to Tunisia. She suffered a panic attack on the flight over and then could not bring herself to take the return flight. She spent 3 weeks in her hotel room and had to spend £5,000 to travel back home by sea and rail. Phobias are often based on irrational fears stoked by an over-active imagination but can clearly cause the sufferer a great deal of crippling anxiety and dramatic physical symptoms. The important thing is not to let the feeling of impending catastrophe get to the point of no return and one of the best forms of early intervention is hypnotherapy. Using relaxation and breathing techniques, hypnotherapy provides a sympathetic and gentle approach to learning how to fly in the face of fear.

National newspapers reported this week that a 32 year dog groomer was whisked away for a romantic holiday by her fiancé to Tunisia.

She spent 3 weeks in her hotel room and had to spend £5,000 to travel back home by sea and rail. Phobias are often based on irrational fears stoked by an over-active imagination but can clearly cause the sufferer a great deal of crippling anxiety and dramatic physical symptoms. The important thing is not to let the feeling of impending catastrophe get to the point of no return and one of the best forms of early intervention is hypnotherapy. Using relaxation and breathing techniques, hypnotherapy provides a sympathetic and gentle approach to learning how to fly in the face of fear. Contact the Birmingham Hypnotherapy Clinic for an informal discussion today 0121 241 8227. Last week in an office, one colleague asked another colleague to remove a small spider from the wall by their desk. They had always said that they didn’t like spiders, but to an outsider, a phobia is often incomprehensible. Transfixed with fear as the request was made, the arachnophobic reasoned aloud that although it was very tiny, it was still ‘freaking them out’.
This example illustrates the problem with phobias which is that the idea of the spider and what the outcome of a spider encounter is likely to be, is much bigger than the reality of the spider itself. Of course with spiders, you can work round the problem. Someone else can use the broom to shoo it out of the bath or if you are on your own, you can simply keep out of the bathroom. But what would happen if you were about to realise a dream by moving to a converted barn in the countryside and the only thing stopping you is an encounter with a veritable Spider City? |
