Phobias and fears are produced by internal anxieties that become associated with particular situations. Some may seem to serve a genuine purpose (fear of heights, fire, etc) - mostly however, they appear to be completely irrational. Do not be fooled! All phobias do have a cause and all phobias do, or perhaps did, serve some purpose - otherwise they couldn't and wouldn't exist.

Nearly 1 in 10 Americans suffer from an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders are chronic, irrational, and can intensify if untreated. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) identifies five anxiety disorders:

• generalized anxiety disorder
• obsessive-compulsive disorder
• post-traumatic stress disorder
• panic disorder, and
• phobias

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD):

Approximately 3 to 4 percent of the American population suffer from GAD. They chronically worry and are tense out of proportion to the actual events in their lives. People with GAD are often less impaired than sufferers of other anxiety disorders. They usually have sleep disorders and difficulty relaxing, tend to feel tired, have trouble concentrating, and often startle easily. GAD generally comes on gradually, sometimes beginning as early as childhood or adolescence, and symptoms can diminish with age.

What is the difference between fear or anxiety and actually having a phobia?
The distinction generally made is to say that a fear is rational and when fear becomes irrational it is a phobia.

In reality the difference is mainly one of degree and the handiest way to distinguish them is by saying that a phobia is different from a fear by being more irrational. Because, having being fuelled by our imagination, every fear will have a degree of irrationality to it. It is just that a phobia is an intense irrational fear of something. It is not an illness. It is not a mental disorder. Nor is it a lack of will-power, or 'moral fiber', or determination. A phobia can make one's life miserable, cause embarrassment, and undermine self confidence and self esteem.


Origins of Fear
Often people concentrate their energy on trying find out what caused their fears initially. Much money has been spent in the therapy industries in these searches. But then what? You still feel phobic.

You do not have to 'learn to live with' a phobia. Even without knowing its origin or that its origin is out of conscious reach, fearful people respond particularly well to hypnosis, a positive and pro-active way to eliminate the fear or anxiety or phobia.

Hypnosis can facilitate:

• the replacement of catastrophic thoughts with truthful statements.
• the realization that the physical sensations can cause no harm.
• the slowing down of a rapid heartbeat.
• the achievement of a sense of balance.
• the generation of deep relaxation.
• freeing the throat to swallow.
• overcoming intense sensations of heat and cold.
• the promotion of clear-headedness.
• restorative diaphragmatic breathing.

Confronting Your Fears in Hypnosis

Systematic desensitization is a well organized procedure to bring the psyche back into balance, eliminating the fears through positive hypnotic suggestion. The fears are met and faced through the subconscious mind. Repeated confrontation causes deterioration of the fear symptoms and increases the ability to face and deal with past traumatic experiences without apprehension, which the conscious mind then accepts. Age regression can also be a highly effective technique for uncovering causes.
