Treat Fear or Phobia with Hypnosis and NLP:
Fears and Phobias are often learned either from such people as parents or significant others in your life.
If you are a child and your Mother or Father become terrified at the sight of a spider then it is likely that you will then perceive spiders as terrifying.
If you had a traumatic experience this can colour your thinking and reactions.
Fears and Phobias can be treatedA Fear or Phobia can also come about because of a traumatic experience. A client who ran towards the beach as a child and was going to jump over a rise narrowly escaped falling on to rocks twenty feet below when her Father grabbed her.
We discovered this long forgotten experience was the source of her Fear of Heights.
Testimonial:
“You told me to test my fear of heights. I jumped off a mountain strapped to a burly instructor and parascended down to the ground. I enjoyed that so much – I went white water rafting the next day.” Ms MJ Frinton
I asked her to GENTLY test it by going up a small height!

Often when we discover the initial sensory experience we can reverse it out – such as fear of flying or needles or a spider phobia to name just three frequent issues that I have treated.
Treatment for Fears and Phobias is by using strategies to handle the fight or flight response and then “reframing” the perceived threat as of lesser concern or none at all. (For instance removing ALL fear of spiders might not be wise if travels take you to a Country with Poisonous or even Lethal Spiders!)
Fear and Phobia can really impact our life – Fear of Flying, for instance, really effected the ability of a Businessman and International Author to travel on Business.

Hypnotherapy for fear of flyingFight or Flight Response
This is hard wired into us – if we perceived that a sabre toothed tiger was going to attack us it wasn’t much use to stand still – you had to try and fight it or run away – fight or flight – and your unconscious or subconscious processes would give you all the adrenaline required and send the blood to the extremities.
This could be useful in some circumstances of real threat – but is inappropriate in many other circumstances.
Being stuck in an alley and hearing someone breaking bottles might well rightly give us some fear but when you are facing the wrath of Nigel from Accounts over your small overspending the fear is not appropriate.
We need to get our anxiety of the situation or panic under control.
(This is also true of everyday anxiety stress and panic attacks).
Fear of Injections Needle Phobia
With the Pandemic and the onset of Covid-19 injections / vaccinations for the populace this can present a dilemma if you are needle phobic.
Needle phobia or fear of injections is very much a learned response – many clients for example had a painful injection or witnessed a painful injection or have a parent who is phobic of needles.
This can be treated successfully by a combination of Hypnotherapy and NLP and is available online via Skype FaceTime or Zoom.
Fear of Dentist or Doctor
While it’s understandable that one might fear a doctor or dentist they are nevertheless highly trained. They only want to help you. If you had a bad experience of an injection, or procedure, or had a phobic or fearful parent you might learn the fear yourself .
I am now working at a Dentists to help nervous patients do what they need to do! It’s possible to get past this with a combination of hypnotherapy and NLP.

Reframing and Neuro Linguistic Programming NLP
NLP was developed by Bandler and Grinder who studied the best practice of Psychologists Psychiatrists and Hypnotherapists to find a common ground of approach that worked best in treating many issues.
NLP proved to be able to treat fear and phobia which seemed difficult and almost impervious to other approaches.
They also studied the neurology of learning – in other words HOW people learn but then also HOW people could unlearn habits and get past self imposed restrictions and limitations.
NLP also says the “map is not the territory” meaning that your current mindset is not necessarily the be all and end all – that it is possible to change your circumstances by changing your mind.
NLP also holds that as Bandler said: “The Past is over The Future is yet to Come” and that we should be more Mindful of the present moment and use Failure as a lesson to make things better.
This is by no means an exhaustive explanation of NLP and it’s effectiveness but it can achieve remarkable results.
It is important to state with NLP and Hypnotherapy that results are generally as good as the work done by both Hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner AND the Client.
If the Client has difficulties with the techniques or is resistant to treatment or does not get along with their Therapist then results could be very mixed! It is important to realise that therapy is a journey for both therapist and client to work together and treat any “failures” or mistakes as valuable learning opportunities.
There is no such thing as failure

Testimonial for Fear of Flying:
Hi Graham,
Have been meaning to email you. Hope you are well.
Just to let you know, I returned home a few weeks ago from an awesome trip to Hong Kong and Australia, yes I made it there and back!
The first flight I had nerves but was able to get through boarding and plough through the take off using the techniques you taught me and after a glass of red wine was much better. Each flight got easier and by the the last one home I had no nerves at all and actually really enjoyed it.
It really is crazy to think for all those years I feared it so much and avoided flying and as you said in one of the tapes, it really does feel like I’m looking back at someone else. I am now looking forward to having more holiday’s abroad in the future.
I must say, listening the recordings before hand definitely worked a treat and I am so pleased that the fear has gone. Thank you so much.
Also I have recommended you to a friend of mine who may contact you.
Many Thanks

Social Phobia
It’s perfectly normal for us to trigger our inbuilt “stranger danger” impulse – that is normal. What happens next is that some run a movie in their mind where they fear being judged and others become curious and start to get to know the person before making any decisions.
I can help you get through those awkward encounters – believe it or not there is a way that you can learn.
Fears or Phobias Treated with Hypnotherapy and NLP include:
Social Phobia, Spider Phobia, Snake Phobia, Needle Phobia, Bird Phobia, Dog Phobia, Snake Phobia, Agoraphobia, Claustrophobia, Fear of Vomiting – Emetophobia.
Claustrophobia can be unlearned as indeed can all phobias – generally you learned this from someone important in your life a terrified parent scared of spiders .. or maybe an evil sibling locked you in an under stairs cupboard and though it was funny as you were terrified in the dark and in an enclosed space.
Fear of dentist, fear of doctor, fear of flying, fear of heights, fear of needles, fear of commitment and more …
We learn from a bad experience or someone a significant figure when young – this can be treated by undoing that initial experience so it stops driving our current reactions.
