Fears and phobias can often be traced to a situation that happened in the past. For example...

A woman has a fear of getting ready for work.

She couldn't understand why, after years of being with this company, suddenly she was having symptoms of panic.

So she looks into hypnosis for fears and phobias and during her session, she uncovered the memory that produced the original fear.

She was able to see first that she had some kind of fear of her work uniform.

When she continued the search she discovered what it was related to...

When she was young, she lived in the country where she was able to play with her dolls on the pathway in the front yard.

Then, she remembered the day her parents moved to the suburbs.

She went down and sat on the curb to play with her dolls, like she had done at the old house.

She was playing as usual, when out of nowhere came her mother's hand, grabbing her and her doll in panic, and taking her inside.

With no explanation, her mom ran out the front door.

Looking down at her doll's uniform(one similiar to the uniform she is afraid of), she began to cry as she became frightened and terrified.

She heard her mother and some men in the front yard yelling, so she ran behind some furniture to hide.

As the scene played out in her mind, she became more and more terrified. The voices of "scary people" got closer.

Then, she heard her mother yell, "to the left!"

They were the movers trying to get the sofa in through the small doorway.

As a child, she did not know what was happening but as an adult, she was able to see clearly that she was not in trouble and her mother wasn't even mad at her.

Her mother was just going about the stressful job of getting the movers in and out as quicklyand safely as possible.

By reworking this memory in hypnosis the woman was able to see her fears and phobias for what they were...

A simple misunderstanding from a child's point of view.

She wasn't actually afraid of getting ready for work, but afraid of her uniform because she had associated it with the uniform her doll was wearing in her memory.

Hypnosis allowed her to go straight to the root of her fear and rework her thoughts and memories around it, which eliminates the fear.

Whatever your fears and phobias are, hypnosis will not only allow you, but show you how to move through your fear and give you all the tools you need to eliminate it from your life.
