Phobias can affect us all and impair the way we function in our day to day lives. Phobias can range from having a fear of heights, of enclosed areas, of elevators, right through to having a fear of certain insects, animals, people, or social situations.
When we try to avoid a certain situation because we have an irrational fear of it, then we can be said to have a phobia of that situation. It is important however to understand the difference between a rational fear and an irrational fear.
It is sometimes healthy to have a fear of certain situations - such as a fear of a growling tiger. Indeed, some fear is necessary for our survival, if we were not fearful of life threatening situations then we would not survive.
Our fear becomes a phobia however when it becomes irrational . It is natural to fear falling off a balcony, but it is not natural to fear standing on a balcony - hence a fear of heights to the extent that you can't step foot on a balcony is a phobia.
Self hypnosis can be used to treat and overcome phobias through the process of autosuggestion.
The success rate of self hypnosis to overcome phobias is very high for people who are willing to devote themselves to the required techniques and exercises. When someone is hypnotised to associate a phobia with a more pleasurable sensation, the phobia can be turned into a positive experience as opposed to a fearful one.
