Phobias are common and many of us are able to live with our phobia without it interfering with our ability to function normally. For example, the fear of spiders is common but most of us with this fear will simply deal with it by avoiding contact with spiders. For some people though, it may be that the subject of your fear is unavoidable or perhaps so severe that it has caused you to take extreme measures to avoid it. You may recognise that the object of your fear is not proportional to your reaction to it but never the less you are unable to control your response.
Phobias are learnt. They are caused by an event or a sequence of events that you have experienced either as a child or perhaps in adult life. Whatever the root cause, phobias can be debilitating and create feelings of extreme anxiety, panic attacks and loss of control.
I will work with you to uncover the cause of the fear and then desensitise you to it. I will retrain your subconscious mind to detach the object of your phobia from your emotional response to it. I can eliminate your phobia so you can return to living a life free of unwanted constraints.
