 phobiasThere are two types of phobias; social phobia and specific phobia. Social phobia is where a person feels a disabling fear or being looked at, embarrassed or generally humiliated in social situations which can eventually lead to agoraphopbia. Someone suffering from panic attacks can eventually become a social phobic.A phobia is an excessive fear of a particular object or situation which usually has no basis in reality

Specific phobias are characterised by specific fears. They are often extreme and disabling. They can be quite irrational and there are as many phobias as there are objects in this world – virtually anything can become the object of a phobia. Some typical phobias are:Agoraphobia, the fear of open spaces Claustrophobia, the fear of enclosed spaces Hydrophobia, the fear of water Pathophobia, the fear of disease Emetophobia, the fear of being sick , Arachnophobia, the fear of spiders , Aviatophobia, the fear of flying ,

The phobic person will carefully avoid any potential contact with their fear and the resulting feelings of fear and panic. This leads to a limited life with all that goes with it; depending on the type of phobia it can sometimes result in it being difficult to work and loss of income, difficult or strained relationships, and all the other potential implications of living a life of avoidance.
It is important, as with generalised anxiety and panic attacks, to discover and treat the root cause of the phobia – it is quick and easy to take away a phobia but if you have not treated the root cause, this may result in the phobia returning or another phobia or anxiety-related symptom to be created.
Hypnotherapy and EFT takes away the distressing and disabling symptoms of your phobic response and treats the root cause of the phobia.
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Post-traumatic stress disorder, sometimes called, post-traumatic distress, can follow an occurrence of extreme psychological stress, such as that encountered in war or resulting from violence (particularly where there is a threat of death, or actual death of others), childhood abuse, sexual abuse, or serious accident. The stressful event is usually followed by a period of emotional numbness and denial that can last for months or years. After that period, symptoms such as recurring nightmares, "flashbacks," short-term memory problems, insomnia, panic attacks and severe anxiety are common in post-traumatic stress disorder.Hypnotherapy and EFT takes away the distressing flashbacks enabling you to sleep. Panic attacks cease and your feelings surrounding the original incident/s change in a very positive way. People suffering from PTSD can once again reclaim their lives.
