We are all afraid of something and often for good reason, fear is an adaptive behaviour that we all possess to help identify threats. It is an ability that has allowed us as humans to survive predators and natural dangers. However, if what you are experiencing is an overwhelming and debilitating fear of an object, place, situation, feeling or animal, that’s out of proportion to the danger, then you have developed a phobia.

Many people are living unnecessarily with phobias – often since childhood – that impact their lives and behaviours in a negative way. Whether it’s spiders, heights, flying in planes, buttons or clowns, all phobias can be eliminated in the same way.

If you are experiencing an irrational fight, flight, freeze response then Hypnotherapy, with a specialist like John Sheppard, is the quickest and safest way to overcome your fear.
