Hypnosis In Melbourne Offers Life-Long Freedom For Sufferers

You are not the odd one out! Many people find themselves suffering from fear or phobia of one form or another. More than 10% of the planet's population is afflicted by one or more specific phobias. From, spiders and birds, to darkness, heights, needles & dentists. There's literally nothing we can't develop anxiety or phobias about. These fears can hold you back in debilitating ways that limit your own level of happiness and living; leaving you feeling anxiety, grief, stress, depression, and at times bringing on panic attacks.

So what is the difference between healthy fear and a phobia?

Fears

Fear is an unpleasant reaction we feel when confronted with real danger. It is an essential 'fight or flight instinct, that makes us prepare to either run away from that danger or stick around and fight it out.

Phobias

A phobia on the other hand a very strong and irrational unpleasant reaction is an irrational fear which has been 'symbolically attached' to an object, or situation, which poses little or no real danger.
Phobias occur when fears become unreasonable. We all have fears and our safety is paramount. A fear of heights is a good thing as it keeps us away from falling off the edge of the cliff. If your fear of heights stops you from going above the fourth floor then this is a phobia. You may choose to ignore it first, then it may develop to whereby your heart starts beating very fast, perhaps a feeling of sickness, dryness of the mouth, tension, becoming breathless, to even a feeling of fainting or actual fainting. The irrational fear is indeed unhelpful and disabling to a healthy lifestyle.

Specific phobias

Specific phobias can be categorized into five main types:

Animals: such as spiders, insects, snakes, birds, dogs, cats, and reptiles.
Natural Environment: such as water, thunderstorms, lightning, heights, fire, and the dark.
Blood - Injury -Needles: such as injections, the sight of blood, dentist, surgical operations, or other medical procedures.
Situational: such as flying, lifts, driving a car, tunnels, bridges, enclosed spaces, or being sick.
Other types Cued by stimuli other than those listed above, such as choking, vomiting, or contracting an illness Complex phobias.

Complex phobias

As well as the specific phobias, there are also social phobias such as anxiety and agoraphobia (the fear of open spaces). These can also be very distressing and debilitating, in a wide range of situations.

A Phobia Can Take Over Your Life Completely

Phobias can be extremely restrictive to living a normal life and facing up to them is tough. If you have a phobia, you are probably well aware that your fear is unreasonable. Your conscious and rational mind is aware of how illogical it is, and yet you still can’t control your thoughts and reactions to the situation. The chances of your fear becoming a reality are slim and your conscious mind knows that, but the panic still sets in no matter how often you tell yourself that there’s no need to be afraid. Put simply a phobia is an outward projection of internal anxiety. You are constantly thinking about it and probably create scenarios in your mind about how you can avoid the phobic situation next time around. Even if you do have to face it, how are you going to react at that time, what will other people think of you, or will you make a complete fool out of yourself, etc? This mental movie and internal dialogue can go on forever!

"Overcome Fears and Phobias Permanently with Hypnotherapy"

I Have A Phobia – How Can Your Hypnotherapy Program Help Me?

Hypnosis provides extremely efficient and effective treatment for irrational fears and phobias, affording the polar opposite of anxiety - deep relaxation. At the same time, it teaches the mind a different way of responding to the feared object or situation. Hypnosis for phobias works by detaching the stimulus (trigger object) from the emotional response (fear) and 'updating' the brain with a new, more realistic response.

Hypnosis In Melbourne's “Phobia Treatment Program” works by finding the root cause of your fear and then slowly and comfortably breaking down the control your phobia has over you using various techniques. Phobias are more often than not rooted in some event from a person's past which has such a strong, lasting impression that they develop a phobia in response. Phobias can occur from just one incident but they can also stem from repeated incidents in someone's past. The difference is that it's easy to avoid eating seafood without a serious impact on the quality of one's life. Phobias, on the other hand, can truly be an obstacle between you and a happy, fulfilling, outgoing, exciting, and adventurous lifestyle! Also, a child may model the behavior of their role model who has a phobic reaction to something, and as a result, this can cause the child to become phobic as well. An example of this could be a child who became terrified of lightning, because their mother was frightened of it and acted in a terrified manner, or had a panic attack, whenever a storm raged overhead. The child would cognitively pick up on the mother's fear and form a learned behavior pattern and thus develop a phobia. Sometimes a phobia just is. There is no reason behind the phobia but it is there. Before you decide just how easy this decision is to make, let me tell you a few things that might help.

A note from Sam Javed
Most people don’t have to wait any longer than two weeks to make an appointment with us. However, with our increasing popularity, you should call sooner rather than later.

The process normally takes approximately 3-6 sessions depending on how deep seated the phobia is and how long it has been in place, response and commitment from you, as opposed to much longer methods used by psychologists, psychotherapists and conventional Hypnotherapists, etc. It is impossible to be totally accurate as to how many sessions are required due to the differences in clients, but with the use of Hypnosis, NLP, Mesmerism and the Desensitization of the past event compounding it with Post hypnotic suggestions & anchoring it dramatically speeds up the whole process.

Phobia release with Self Hypnosis

With the help of little persistence, most people can get into a relaxed state of hypnosis and can use self-hypnosis. Hypnosis allows us to experience thoughts, fantasies and images as almost real by bypassing the critical thinking of the conscious mind.

Make your self comfortable in a chair in an upright position and allow those eyes to close and allow those arms to rest at your side or in your lap. If you need to move around do so. Just give your slef the permission to let go and allow that relaxation to take over.

Clear your mind of all thoughts any thoughts as each thought and feeling presents it self in your mind , affirm that its not yours. You are the one observing that thought and emotion, even good ones. And as you breath just let go of those thoughts just like wind blows from one window to another, pictures and memories may form in the mind, this is the natural process of the mind observe them acknowledge them and blow them away.

Now breath and as you inhale bring in the feeling of relaxation and as you breath out let go of all the tensions, worries just let them fade away in the distance. Now breath and as you inhale bring in the feeling of relaxation and as you breath out let go of all the tensions, worries just let them fade away in the distance.

Take another deep breath in through the nose. Hold it.... and then exhale slowly, allowing the tension to leave your body with the air through the mouth.

Now breathe even more slowly and gently... breathe in....hold....out.... ..breathe in...hold...out...

Continue to breathe slowly and gently. Allow your breathing to relax you.

Now allow the body to relax and that can be done by focusing on the large muscles of your legs. Tighten all the muscles of your legs starting with the left leg and then the right. Tense the muscles further. Hold onto this tension. Feel how tight and tensed the muscles in your legs are right now. Squeeze the muscles harder, tighter and when you cannot tighten them any more, continue to hold this tension. Feel the muscles wanting to give up this tension. Hold it for a few moments more.... and now relax as you breath out. Let all the tension go. Feel the muscles in your legs going limp, loose, and relaxed. Now focus on the muscles in your arms. Tighten your shoulders, upper arms, lower arms, and hands starting with the left arm and then the right. Squeeze your hands into tight fists. Tense the muscles in your arms and hands as tightly as you can. Squeeze harder.... harder..... hold he tension in your arms, shoulders, and hands. Feel the tension in these muscles. Hold it for a few moments more.... and now release as you exhale. Let the muscles of your shoulders, arms, and hands relax and go limp and lose like a rag doll. Focus again on your breathing as you might notice a shift in your own thoughts feelings and awareness gentle, even, regular breaths.

Breathe in relaxation.... and breathe out tension..... in relaxation....and out tension.... Continue to breathe slowly and gently.

Now you may focus on the muscles of your buttocks. Tighten these muscles as much as you can ( If you have back pain you can skip this part ) . Hold this tension..... and then release. Relax your muscles as you exhale. Now turn your attention now to the muscles of your chest and stomach. Tighten and tense these muscles. Tighten them further...hold the tension.... and release. Relax the muscles of your trunk. Finally, tighten the muscles of your face. Scrunch your eyes shut tightly, wrinkle your nose, and tighten your cheeks and chin. Hold this tension in your face.... and relax as you exhale. Release all the tension and notice in a relaxed body is a relaxed mind and in a relaxed mind is a relaxed body.

Now, take yourself to a peaceful place in your mind. It might be a place you have been before that brings back a pleasant feeling, may be a holiday that you have been to, or a holiday destination that you saw on TV, a peaceful place some mentioned , or may be you have dreamed of a place like that . Make it as real as real can in your imagination, using all of your senses. Bring in the sounds, the colors, the feeling of the ground beneath your feet, the warmth of the sun on your skin, the smells, etc.

Now, as it gets peaceful and pleasant, squeeze your thumb and third finger together and ask your mind to increase this feeling of peacefulness every time you press these fingers together. Now release the fingers for a moment and press together once again. Each time create a more pleasant sensation and a stronger response of peace and calm.

This may not remove the phobia, but it will give you a calming response till you book an appointment . The more you do the mental rehearsal to strengthen your anchor, the more powerful and responsive it will become. Then when you really need it, you can notice a wonderful calm moving from your head to your toes as you release the anxiety and replace it with calm! Repetition is the key, so plan on spending about 10 -20 minutes each and every day for 21 days if you miss more than two days in a row then start from the beginning.
