Treating phobias, fears and panic attacks with Hypnotherapy in Leyland

Our logical brain knows many things, for instance it knows that flying is the safest form of travel, it knows that lifts are completely safe, and that spiders can't cause us any harm.

Yet knowing that doesn't really help, because if you feel your heart pounding and your stomach churning, then for you it's a very real fear, and it's probably holding you back from enjoying your life as you want.

Common phobias include fear of animals, snakes, spiders, needles, fear of flying, and fear of heights. In the case of a severe phobia, you may have changed how you live your life and even may go to extreme lengths to avoid the thing you fear.Unfortunately, because of the way the brain works, avoidance only strengthens the phobia.

Phobias affect many people having a massive impact on their lives, and are usually caused by a single stressful or traumatic event, or can be learnt from a family member. A typical example of this would be a child seeing a parents fearful and over-reaction to a spider or mouse, this event then becomes locked into the child's brain becoming an automatic response for them. Yet if you were to ask the person how the phobia started, they generally can't remember, and comment that they've always had it.

I'm constantly told by people with phobias that they know the spider is no danger, yet they still panic if they see one. One of the reasons for this comes down to the processing speeds of the conscious mind and the unconscious mind. The conscious mind takes around 0.5 of a second to processes information, the unconscious mind processes information much quicker at anywhere from 0.02 to 0.002 of a second. Meaning that your unconscious mind has seen the spider, processed what it is, checked how to behave, and started to run the 'see spider' programme long before you have actually seen it.
