Managing Phobias
What is a Phobia?
A Phobia is an uncontrollable, irrational, and persistent fear of a specific object, situation, or activity. For a list of phobias that can be successfully overcome with Mind Therapy, please click here.
Treatment of a Phobia
My preferred treatment for phobias uses Paul Mckenna's advanced hypnosis with an embedded NLP technique. As an Advanced Master NLP practitioner, my goal is to change a person’s state and “re-program” that person’s beliefs about a phobia.
What is NLP?
Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) is a method of programming the mind, emphasizing the mind-body-spirit connection. The term 'neuro-linguistic programming’ is designed to embrace three ideas:
- All behaviour starts from the neurological processes;
- We use language to organize our thinking and to communicate with others;
- We can choose to `programme’ our behaviour to achieve the results we desire.
