Overcoming phobias at Oxfordshire Hypnotherapy, Oxford.

All phobias develop as a result of internal anxiety
Phobias are a symbol of “bottled up” emotions which are, in turn, generated from negative experiences from the past, usually in childhood, and the very strong feelings attached to them. The mind is very good at covering up these experiences and the emotions which go with them by projecting onto other external objects or situations.

For instance, the sense of a loss of control could well attach itself to a fear of flying (Aviatophobia) or heights in general ( Acrophobia). These are invariably irrational fears – for example, someone suffering from a fear of flying may have no direct experience of a plane crash – nevertheless these fears are undoubtedly very real and distressing to the sufferer.

Common Phobias

There are many hundreds of phobias, the most common experienced in my practice are;

• Fear of being judged (generally negatively) (Social Phobia/Scopophobia),
• Fear of open spaces (Agoraphobia),
• Fear of enclosed spaces (Agoraphobia),
• Fear of speaking in public (Glossophobia),
• Fear of crowds (Demophobia),
• Fear of urinating in the presence of others ( Paruresis or Shy Bladder),
• Fear of being sick (Emetophobia).
  

I am also able to treat Specific Phobias (where people feel inordinately anxious about particular objects) including the fear of certain animals, spiders, snakes or mice and a host of other objects ranging from storms and injections to tunnels and even bridges.
