Treatment for fears, phobias, panic attacks and anxiety.
A phobia is an externalisation of inward anxiety onto an object or situation that is caused by great bottled-up emotion. Anxiety can be described as 'fear spread thinly', or 'something inside ourselves but outside of our control'. We convert this 'unknown fear' into something that is known, as it helps us 'see' a problem rather than suffer the unknown.
Many therapies out there today encourage people to face their fears, which as well as being ineffective if we want to be permanently rid of a phobia, can also make problems worse since what people are facing is only the symptom or 'trigger'.
For example, if you're phobic of dogs, you may believe that this stems from the fact that you were bitten by one when you were younger. However if you think about it rationally, this would at worst only make you not like dogs, avoid them or be cautious of them.
It's no reason to become phobic of them and have panic attacks whenever you go near dogs or when thinking of them. This goes for all kinds of phobias from the fear of flying to the fear of buttons. Phobias are sometimes representations of the original cause of the phobia but more often than not, they are distortions of the originating cause. What this means is that the phobia is simply a way of expressing internal anxiety, and symbolically may have nothing to do with the originating cause.
To cure people of phobias, we have to look deeper inside ourselves and this is where Hypnoanalytical therapy come in. This unique form of therapy offers a permanent phobia cure.

The reason why we have phobias is because of intense bottled up emotions that cause anxiety.
To rid ourselves of a phobia, we must resolve internal conflicts and bottled up emotions that are fuelling them. Find and deal with the cause (intense bottled up emotions), and the effect will vanish (phobias).
The signs of being Phobic when presented with an object or situation include;
 An increased feeling of anxiety, that in turn makes us more anxious creating a vicious circle of emotion.
Shortness of breath, hyperventilation, chest pain, trembling and shaking.
light headiness and exhaustion.
Sweating and / or getting the Chills.
A feeling that your world is crumbling around you and a feeling of losing control.
A feeling of being frozen to the spot and sheer dread
A feeling of losing your mind and confusion.
These symptoms are in fact the same for what is known as a panic attack.
Panic attacks equate to being phobic but without a stimulus to be scared of. Although it is hard to see it this way, phobias give our internal anxiety form so that it's 'easier' to cope with, rather that coping with the absolute unknown (great anxiety cause by bottled-up emotions). In effect, its easier to gain a sense of control if your phobic of something rather that suffering from panic attacks.
All phobias are a 'fear of being out of control' projected onto an object, a panic attack is the same thing without the projection. How do we control and resolve great internal anxiety that's caused by bottled-up emotions so deep, we don't even know what we've bottle up?
The answer is.. without Hypnoanalytical therapy, we don't.
This is why we project our 'fear of being out of control' onto an object(s) or situation(s), so we can at least get a 'sense' of control by avoiding what we are phobic towards and temporarily lowering our anxiety levels slightly. If we cannot avoid it, we suffer a panic attack at the loss of control.
A course of hypnoanalytical therapy will quickly (around 6-8 weeks) get to the root cause of anxiety, release the bottled-up emotions and free the client permanently from the despair of having panic attacks and suffering from Phobias. See list of Phobias treated.
