Help with fears and Phobias
When you have a fear or phobia that you really cannot get to grips with however hard you try, no amount of well-intentioned 'help' from friends or family is likely to solve the problem - it can even make things worse. Although it may seem impossible to you now, hypnotherapy can help to remove the problem so that you could simply forget it ever existed in the first place. Using only the right sort of therapy means that you won't replace one fear with another, either.
We are only born with two fears, the fear of loud noises and the fear of falling the rest of the fears are learned. If you have learned something then there is a way to unlearn it, you just need to know how.
Many phobia treatments involve having people face their fear and the problem with this method, besides that it doesn't work most of the time, most phobics are avoiding their fears and they are too scared to face their fears. So most phobics live with their fear for most of their lives.
There is help though, help which does not include exposure to the fear.

From our experience most phobics when they are afraid they have in their mind big pictures of spiders, snakes and any sort of stuff that make them scared. Others when they think about flying they immediately start thinking that the plane is going to crash with dead people everywhere. Very often they are remembering something scary maybe a real life event or an imaginary event.
Overcoming Fears, Phobias and Anxiety
Fear is a normal response for the human animal and intricately involved with our survival mechanism. But we sometimes need help in overcoming fears which serve no useful purpose.
It can be difficult to differentiate between fear, stress, anxiety, phobic response, and panic attacks - in fact, all of these situations are actually based on fear in one form or another. Within the world of psychotherapy and psychology, anxiety is often referred to as 'fear spread thinly', and this sums it up quite well; fear is simply a more affective form of anxiety.

Overcoming fears and phobias without help can sometimes be enormously difficult but the good news is that most fear-based symptoms can be alleviated easily with modern therapies
A lot of the time, fear is actually a conditioned response, which means that it has in some way been learnt via a repeated circumstance. The fear of spiders is a common example. There is rarely any deep psychological reason for it but there is usually a parent, parent-figure, or some other 'influential' individual who exhibited a profound fear reaction in the presence of the insect. When a child observes an adult repeatedly exhibiting 'survival responses' in the shape of screaming or jumping up onto chairs, the youngster can do little other than interpret the fear-object - in this case, a spider - as being extremely dangerous. And the younger the child is when he or she observes this behaviour, the 'deeper' the fear will appear to be; it is almost inevitable that he or she will adopt the 'coping behaviour' that has been observed an understood as being necessary for survival.
This does not mean the fear is not real; it simply means that there is no sound reason for its existence and it can often be dealt with far more easily than most people might imagine - often just a single session will result in a complete alleviation of symptoms. Although it might seem impossible to believe, we are saying here that overcoming fears is something that can be achieved very easily.
It's not always like that, though; sometimes, an individual feels fearful most of the time, for no reason that he or she can articulate. This can also be a conditioned response, if one or both parents were naturally fearful, although it sometimes appears to be 'hard-wired', a natural way of being for the individual concerned.
Another 'face' of fear
Another form of fear is Anxiety; indeed, as already mentioned, it has often been described as 'fear spread thinly. There are a great many possible roots for the sources of anxiety and anxiety attacks and a full medical investigation should be conducted before beginning a hypnotherapy treatment. When there is no apparent medical cause for the anxiety symptoms, the problem can usually be greatly relieved.
Remember there is a way to get better and so many people have got better, you just need to know how!
