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
I use a specific treatment for phobias that I have created using a combination of Paul Mckenna's advanced hypnosis with an embedded NLP technique and Visual Coding Replacement therapy used by Nic and Eva Speakman. 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 organise our thinking and to communicate with others;
- We can choose to `programme’ our behaviour to achieve the results we desire.
