Arachnophobia - Treating Fear Of Spiders With Hypnotherapy

By:


Arachnophobia is the name we give to a fear of spiders. It is one of the most common of all phobias.

It is a fear that we treat fairly regularly here in our UK hypnotherapy practice.

In fact, research suggests that about 50% of all women and 10% of all men suffer from arachnophobia to one degree or another.

Though no-one is actually born with this fear, it is something that affects millions of people around the world.

Indeed, arachnophobia can influence a person's life to such an extent that it casts its shadow on many different areas.

The arachnophobic person may base their choice of home, work or vacation on their fear of spiders.

In some cases, finding a small spider in the car can cause such serious feelings of panic that the person becomes unsafe while driving, thereby placing themselves and others in danger.

Often, the individual may go to extreme lengths in order to ensure that they do not encounter a spider. They may become over-vigilant and anxious when taking a shower or bath, or when getting into and out of bed, for example.

For the true arachnophobic, even a picture of a spider can cause feelings of repulsion and fear.

In common with most other phobias, the person suffering from this fear often realizes that it is irrational in nature.

They may know perfectly well that their chances of encountering a spider and of that spider harming them in any way are remote, yet they feel powerless to control their fear.

The origins of arachnophobia inevitably lie in the individual's past, often in childhood.

At some time or other, the person may have been frightened or made anxious by the sight of a spider - in real life, on television or in a movie.

Or they may have been conditioned to associate anxiety or repulsion with spiders because they have seen an adult exhibit such emotions and have subconsciously modelled this.

In both cases the fear has become embedded on a deep, subconscious level.

Often the actual cause of the phobia has been forgotten by the conscious mind and the feeling is that they have had this fear all their life.

Such, however, is not the case. The fear of spiders is something that is learned, not inborn.

The most rapid and effective method of releasing a person from arachnophobia is by uncovering its origin and then neutralizing the driver of the fear.

Through the skilful use of modern advanced transformational hypnotherapy we can reach deep within the subconscious, to where the fear itself is embedded.

Once this is accomplished, the person can be shown how to release the faulty programming and align it with reality.

There really is no reason why you or anyone you care about need continue to experience anxiety because a fear of spiders.

Work with an experienced, fully qualified advanced transformational hypnotherapist and free yourself from this truly handicapping phobia.

You'll be enormously glad you did!
