Harrow and Pinner - Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy for Fears and Phobias
By Cara Ostryn, Hypnotherapist and Hypnotist at the Ruislip Hypnotherapy Clinic.
Welcome to my web page on social phobia and social anxiety.
Below you will find details of how I help people overcome their social phobia and social anxieties using hypnosis and hypnotherapy. My main clinic is in Ruislip and very easy to reach from Harrow and Pinner
Please go to my home page for more information.
Phobias are extremely common and are experienced by approximately 11% of the population at some time in their lives. Some of the most common are fear of spiders, snakes, flying, birds, fear of needles and injections, fear of open or enclosed spaces (such as fear of lifts or fear of tube trains), fear of going out, and fear of heights. Indeed, people can develop a phobic response to almost any situation.
Two very common phobias are:
SOCIAL PHOBIA (social anxiety: fear of being judged negatively in social situations) and
EMETOPHOBIA (a fear of vomit/vomiting)
so I have devoted a whole page each to them. CLICK ON THEIR LINKS FOR MORE INFORMATION.
Other common types of phobias include:
Arachnophobia - Fear of Spiders. Half of women and 10 per cent of men have a fear of spiders.
Aerophobia - Fear of flying.
Agoraphobia - this involves intense fear of being outside and/or avoidance of any place or situation where escape might be difficult or help unavailable in the event of developing sudden panic-like symptoms.
Claustrophobia - Fear of being trapped in small confined spaces.
Acrophobia - Fear of heights.
Carcinophobia - Fear of cancer.
Brontophobia - Fear of thunderstorms.
Necrophobia - Fear of death or of dead things
To gauge the degree to which your fear is affecting your life, ask yourself the following:
• Do I spend an excessive amount of time thinking about my fear?
• Is my fear affecting my physical condition?
• When I think of this fear does my pulse increase, do my hands shake, do I feel nauseas?
• Does this fear make me depressed?
• Does this fear make me do things the hard way, such as planning road travel so as to avoid driving over bridges, or walk the long way to the shops to avoid a neighbours dog? Does it prevent me from going on holiday to where I would really like to go?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are likely to have a phobia and may consider hypnotherapy to remove it quickly and effectively so that it no longer intrudes into your life.
 Flying was a real ordeal for me. I had
a phobia of it and would try to avoid it
where possible. Since seeing Cara only
once, I have flown without fear, something
never thought I would do. It has changed
my life, especially as I can now visit
members of my family who live abroad. |
Why Hypnoanalysis is so successful at treating fears and phobias
Phobias are almost always formed in the childhood (though the symptoms may not appear for many years) and are caused by the sufferer bottling up some strong emotions, and those emotions being projected onto an object/situation. For example, if you are bitten by a dog this may lead to a fear of dogs). The only way to CURE a phobia -to banish it completely - is to release the bottled up emotions that are causing it.
These bottled up emotions are completely locked away in the depths of the persons subconscious mind so the sufferer has no conscious awareness of them. Most other types of therapy cannot gain access to these 'locked away' emotions and experiences, whereas hypnoanalysis can.
The process of Hypnoanalysis requires a strong bond of trust and rapport being created between the therapist, and the client. Over a period of about eight sessions, we slowly link thoughts and memories back through time (using a process of 'free association') until we come to the bottled up emotions. When we release these emotions, the phobia is resolved forever.
