A phobia
is more than a simple fear, or being afraid. It is to
be totally traumatised by the stimulus. People can be
afraid of a wide range of things and what can be totally
acceptable to one person will not be to another.
Some
of these tend to be:
Animals |
Hospitals |
Being
alone |
Injections
or needles |
Blood |
Open
spaces |
Dark
places |
Small
or enclosed spaces |
Death |
Snakes |
Dentists |
Spiders |
Fear
of professionals |
Travel |
Groups
of people |
Trains |
Heights |
Water |
The
subconscious mind can often set up a kind of false instinct,
whereby any sign of the object, person or situation, or
even something resembling it or associated with it, can
cause a phobic reaction.
How
Many Sessions Will I Need?
The
number of sessions that will be needed to release a person
from their phobia will depend upon many things. For example;
the client's personality type, their desire to overcome
the phobia, how deep seated the problem is and how long
the phobia has been in existance.
However, the average
for people I see is about 3-4 sessions. This can be longer
in some cases where full blown panic attacks are occurring.
Dealing
with the Phobia
The client is exposed to the phobia gradually, and at
a slow and gradual pace and from this point on they recover
from the effects of the phobic response and develop the
necessary skills for coping with the phobia.
The
cause of the phobia needs to be found and the emotion
released. The person with a phobia will need to be helped
to find and review the trigger situation, to see it with
an adult maturity and understanding, and to then see the
cause in a different way and with a different and better
understanding.
