Phobia treatment in Central London and Horley For as long as people have experienced the emotion of fear there have been phobias. Fear is an essential survival instinct, and therefore phobias can be seen as a maladaptive expression of this response characterized by a fear that is out of proportion to the situation that cannot be rationally explained and is ultimately beyond your control. This then leads to the avoidance of the situation that triggers the fear so reinforcing an ever increasing cycle.
Phobias come in many varied varieties and can be as unique as you, but generally they can be classified as follows:
Agoraphobia - a fear of open spaces
Claustrophobia - a fear of enclosed spaces
Social phobia - a fear of social interaction
Specific animal phobias - a fear of insects, spiders, reptiles, cats
Miscellaneous phobias - a fear of heights, flying, thunder etc.
Phobias are either learned directly from past experiences blown out of proportion, or indirectly form external sources such as media, parents, stories.
In Clinical Hypnotherapy we use behavioral approaches such as desensitisation whilst in the relaxing trance state to effectively and progressively extinguish the anxiety caused by the fear invoking situation.
Using Hypno-Desensitisation, Fast Phobia Cure or in more extreme cases Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, I achieve a very high success rate in the treatment of phobias.
Most phobias typically require only three treatments to permanently resolve the anxiety, and patients benefit from a real improvement in their quality of life.  "Darren,
Just wanted to say a huge thanks for your help. I am really comfortable with heights now. It has been a life changer for me. In fact I get quite excited when I'm climbing a height at one time I would not have even considered.
Every time I achieve a new height I think of you at the top and smile, so thanks."
