Hypnosis for Phobias
A phobia is a condition that can be experienced and recognized as unreasonable, but cannot be controlled or managed. The anxiety is, in a way, disproportionate to the situation the person is in. It is a state that is not accessible through logic. In the moment, it is not possible to talk a phobic condition away. Phobias are experienced as limiting and can have significant social consequences.
It can be a specific phobia, which may include fear of insects, spiders, snakes, dogs, cats, enclosed spaces, open spaces, fear of flying, heights, and more.
It can also be social phobia, which is the fear of interacting with people. Performance anxiety, speaking in small groups, or the fear of making a bad impression.
The phobic state can further worsen if situations are avoided where elements that trigger the anxiety are present. For example, discomfort with walking on the street can eventually lead to isolation. Phobias can also be conditioned by past experiences. Fear of driving, for instance, may be a result of a traffic accident.
Phobias are common, and many people have one or more specific phobias. Phobias can be acquired or congenital. This is why hypnosis is an effective way to reach deep into the subconscious and work with the parts of the mind responsible for phobias.
There are approximately 500 named phobias, so if you experience fear of something, it is not uncommon—and it can be treated!

It would be simple if you could just tell the part of you that activates the anxiety to stop, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. You can’t simply tell yourself not to be afraid.
