HANG-UPS,
FEARS, AND PHOBIAS
You
Can Set Yourself Free
Among the primary reasons why
people seek hypnotherapy is the need to deal with fear reactions.
The range of such problems is extensive - from simple, annoying
"hang-ups", to specific (or non-specific) fears which affect
the activities or enjoyment of life, to full-blown phobias which may be
a part of a serious mental illness.
Under certain circumstances or
in specific situations virtually all people are subject to a variety of
rational or irrational apprehensions. Many of these develop in
childhood when undeveloped reasoning ability creates in a young person a
natural climate for developing fears of the unknown. Fears can, of
course, develop in adulthood through traumatic experience, but most
prove to have originated in early, impressionable years.
It is interesting to note that
fears seldom travel alone. While one may be dominant and apparent,
investigation will usually reveal others which are associated and
inter-related.
