Fears and phobias 

Both fears and phobias are not a “mental illness” or a sign of weakness.  Anyone can suffer from fears or phobias at any time in their life and this can be formed around literally anything, which explains why there are so many known fears and phobias.

Below is a very comprehensive list of fears and phobias; click on the following links to read some  related Harmony4Life client testimonies...

• Fear of death

• Fear of dentists

• Fear of failure

• Fear of food

• Fear of injections

• Fear of paralysis

What is the difference between a fear and a phobia?

Fear is an unpleasant emotion brought on by negative anticipation.  Almost everyone has a fear of something. This can range from fear of spiders or heights, or something more common such as a fear of failure (e.g. in driving tests/exams), not being good enough or fear of dying.  Another common fear is of public speaking, which approximately 90% of the population suffer from.

According to the Penguin Dictionary of Psychology, in psychiatric work fears are only classified as phobias if they are irrational, persistent and intense and there is a compelling need to flea or avoid the phobic object or situation.  There are three categories of phobias: ‘agoraphobia’, the ‘simple phobias’ and the ‘social phobias’.  Agoraphobia is a fear of open spaces and is treated separately as it is the most commonly cited debilitating phobia.  It has a variety of manifestations the most common is the deep fear of being caught alone in open public spaces. 

The simple phobias include any phobia of a relatively “simple” stimulus, e.g. fear of flying, driving, spiders, lifts, darkness, confined spaces, water, crowds, etc.  The social phobias is an umbrella term relating to any phobia involving a fear of circumstance in which one would be subject to scrutiny and potential criticism.  For example, fear of public speaking, fear of public toilets, fear of eating in public and fear of failure.  The latter can lead to laziness, indifference, resentment, jealously and negativity.  Fear of the past can also be put in this category and often results in guilt.

A phobia develops as the result of a learned response to a negative experience.  For example, if as a child I had been bitten by a dog I would probably have been very frightened and upset.  Following that experience my subconscious would repress or hide my emotions and develop a phobia to ensure I didn’t get bitten by a dog ever again.

The subconscious will take just one experience like this and generalise behaviours of being terrified of something for years and in extreme cases for a lifetime, if there is no therapeutic intervention.  This reflects just how quickly the brain learns a new behaviour and why hypnotherapy can embed a different and more useful behaviour (not to be scared) just as quickly by breaking the association between the stimulus and the response.

Trying to consciously learn this new behaviour and break the association between stimulus and response is often totally ineffective.  This is because the subconscious holds the root cause of phobias, as this is where they are first developed.  So although most people know what has caused their phobia they will still struggle to control and rationalise this at a conscious level and will therefore still experience the phobia.

Hypnotherapy taps into the subconscious mind and as such it can be extremely effective at treating phobias by:

• Identifying the root of the phobia

• Breaking the association between the stimulus and the response to decrease sensitivity/reactivity to the stimulus and decrease anxiety toward any feared object/situation, i.e. to desensitise someone to the fear of spiders or flying

• Helping you to feel more in control so you can be released from your fears and not be held back from them

• Teaching you a calm response which can be used if you encounter the stimulus

'Fear of failure' H4L client testimony

"...my confidence suffered because somewhere a long the way I developed some kind of learned helplessness, whereby, it felt like there was no point in trying anything because I'd never succeed or be good at it (although sometimes I'd try too hard because of fear of failure) - now I do have perseverance, determination and faith in my abilities to do what ever I want.  Our life coaching work gave me the initial inspiration and motivation to change and I saw how bad things were (couldn't have got to where I am without it - was the 1st crucial step, that I probably couldn't have made on my own)."
