What is a phobia?

A phobia is 'the symbolic external representation of an internal anxiety'. Most of us have one or two 'fears', or something / situation that makes us feel uncomfortable.

But, it's when that 'thing' causes you to have a severe intense emotional reaction, to the point were you begin to sweat, or feel sick, or start blushing, or start shaking or begin to panic and even take a panic attack, if this happens, you can consider it a phobia.

How do you develop a phobia?

If you ever have an experience that causes you to have a severe intense emotional reaction, your mind has the ability to literally hide and 'bottle up' those emotions, and it's a very effective natural inbuilt coping mechanism. Because your mind has 'bottled' up these intense emotions and experiences, you will have no conscious awareness of either them or the incident that caused it, but because they are locked away/hidden deep in your subconscious. Your mind can create a phobia to remind you not to get into that, or even anything symbolically similar to the original experience again. And as if that wasn't complicated enough, nearly all phobias are not even related to the actual cause of the emotion, they are only symbolic of it.

If you find what I have just said a little hard to comprehend, and like most people you believe in the theory, that if you have a phobia about dogs, then you must have been bitten by a dog once (which seems logical). How would you explain, why there are 12million people in the U.K. with a fear of flying (aviatophobics). Surely they cannot possibly have all been in a plane crash and lived to tell the tale! The answer is that with the majority of them, the fear is not with flying, crashing and being blown up, the actual fear is being out of control - which their brain has symbolically projected on to flying.

Most other therapies either try to 'get around' the phobia, or even try to teach the sufferer strategies on how to 'live with it', and others believe that if you can understand/intellectualise the problem will bring relief. But these therapies cannot gain access to these 'locked away' emotions and experiences. Hypnoanalysis and hypnosis reaches and 'unlocks' these emotions and experiences, and the phobia will disappear because what was driving it will no longer be there, the emotions will finally be resolved.

One of the most common phobias I help resolve is EMETOPHOBIA which is a fear of being sick, and its associated fears; gagging, seeing others being sick, choking on food, pregnancy (due to possibility of morning sickness), drowning, and 'social Phobia'.

It's the 6th most common phobia in the UK and also commonly suffer from other phobias such as Agoraphobia, Claustrophobia, Microphobia (fear of germs), Phagophobia (fear of eating), Pnigophobia (fear of gagging and choking), to name a few. I offer a very specialist treatment for emetophobia, so please be in touch if you wish to live your life permanently free of these feelings.
