ABOUT FEAR & PHOBIA

Fears and phobias can feel impossible to control and may seriously disrupt your daily life. If you experience fear, you are not alone. We all feel these emotions sometime during our lives. Phobias are very real and sometimes, serious issues. They range from minor annoyances to major disruptions in your life. While fear is a normal human emotion, phobias are intense, debilitating, and disproportionate to any real threat. When experiencing such an extreme response, your feeling may vary from a mild sensation of discomfort in your gut to a full-blown panic attack. If they are untreated, these processes can consume you and trigger a rising number of situations. Fortunately, phobias are very simple to reverse.

Some of the reasons for the onset of phobias include the following:

• A traumatic event, loss, bereavement, or separation
• Sustained periods of stress or illness
• Intense criticism or feelings of inadequacy or worthlessness
• Major life changes or the continued avoidance of change
• Feelings of being out of control, unable to cope, or helplessness
• Being strong for others at the expense of your own needs
• Suppressing or controlling your emotions

Some examples of phobias that we treat include the following:

• Public speaking
• Flying
• Heights
• Crowds
• Open spaces
• Confined spaces

Phobias trigger your fight or flight response, releasing a massive dose of adrenaline into your system. You may experience increased heart rate, rapid breathing, sweating, muscle tension, tremors, dry mouth, or dizziness. The sudden, unexpected onset of your phobia, heightens the fear associated with it. These fears are learned and can be unlearned. With our assistance, you will also learn to collapse these phobic triggers so that you can feel relaxed.

We understand your mind's language and how to help you make changes effortlessly while maintaining the rational fears that keep you safe.
