Fears  and  Phobias

From the spectrum of emotional problem we have which can be helped with hypnosis, guilt, fear and mood swing/depression are more common. Phobia is an irrational fear which can produce an irrational response of the body. They are nominated in the medical books around 300 different phobias. Examples:

Ablutophobia: Fear of washing or bathing

Acarophobia: Fear of itching or of the insects that cause itching

Acerophobia: Fear of sourness

Achluophobia: Fear of darkness

Acousticophobia: Fear of noise

Acrophobia: Fear of heights

Aerophobia: Fear of flying, drafts, air swallowing, or airborne noxious substances

Aeroacrophobia: Fear of open high places

Aeronausiphobia: Fear of vomiting secondary to air sickness

Agliophobia: Fear of pain

Agoraphobia: Fear of open spaces, being in crowded, public places or leaving a safe place

Agraphobia: Fear of sexual abuse

Agrizoophobia: Fear of wild animals

Agyrophobia: streets or crossing the street

Aichmophobia: needles or pointed objects and so on.

Phobias are very common. One in nine people have a phobia of some sort - more than eleven per cent of the population. And one in twenty people have panic attacks at some stage in their lives. There is little that conventional medical science can do for your phobia, other than prescribing an antidepressant drug.

Hypnosis can in most cases, eliminate or alleviate the phobia. A very common phobia is fear of spiders, fear of public speaking and fear of flying. To treat these conditions you need to go to the original event which causes it. Hypnosis with EFT can cure a life time phobic response generally in one session.
