Treating Phobias and Fears with Hypnosis
There are things that happen in our lives that create strong reactions in our subconscious minds . This usually happens dureng childhood but can happend at any point in life. One way the subconscious mind reacts to these events is by creating fears and phobias.These can be effectively treated with hypnosis.
The use of hypnosis allows us to look past that area of our mind that we use to bring our thoughts into consciousness. This is the subconscious mind and it contains everything we have experienced in our lives. Everything we have done, seen in life, seen in movies or on television or read in books is stored here. When we use hypnosis, we move past that area of consciousness and that area of critcal thinking so that we can access those things that we have stored in the subconscious.
The clue to the subconscious is that it takes everything literally and does not hear negatives. So when you tell yourself not to do something, the subconscious hears you tell yourself to do it. Also, when the subconscious stores information it stores it symbolically. The process of dreaming ia an example of how the symbols in our dreams reflect events in our lives. Dreams store events in our daily lives inour subconscious.
To access the symbols stored in the subconscious, we can use hypnosis. We can examine those symbols and how they relate to life’s real events. Very often, we find that the subconscious has misinterpreted some event and amplified relatively harmeless events and create fears and phobias. Other times we find that there are serious events in out life that we can remember but the subconscious believes that it can protect us by making sure that similar events do not happen again. With hypnosis, we can show the subconscious that it is unlikely that the events will not recur.
Sure you can take anti-anxiety medication but medication only works when you take it. Most of us don’t want to buy medication for the rest of our lives. Hypnosis can provide a permanant solution that one only has to pay for while undergoing treatment. You can control the rest of your life rather than a pill.
