Phobia hypnotherapy in London — including fear of flying, heights, social anxiety and more
Phobias are categorised as specific or complex and generally fall within the area of anxiety. They cause an extreme, often debilitating fear of an object, place, situation, or experience — and in most cases can be resolved effectively and often quickly.
Most phobias have a subconscious origin — which is why hypnotherapy, working directly with the subconscious mind, is so effective at resolving them.
John regularly works with clients to overcome a wide range of phobias, including: fear of flying (aviophobia), fear of spiders, fear of heights, social phobia, fear of needles, fear of enclosed spaces (claustrophobia), fear of open spaces (agoraphobia), and many others.
People with phobias usually experience a heightened fight-or-flight response in the presence of their feared object or situation. Hypnotherapy works by accessing the original sensitising event (often in childhood), reprocessing the emotional memory, and breaking the automatic fear response.
Fear of flying is one of the most common and most treatable phobias. John's fear of flying programme combines education about how aircraft work, relaxation techniques, and hypnotic reprogramming to allow clients to board aircraft calmly and confidently.
