Fear Can Be Good
Fear, just like any other emotion, can be good provided it comes from accurate perceptions. Fear alerts us that we need to take action in order to maintain our survival. Fear can trigger the fight or flight response, which pushes us to either to fight impending danger or to run from it. If we truly have something to be fearful of, then this is an appropriate and wise response. This fight or flight response was particularly helpful in times past when our lives might be in danger of lurking predators. Even today, when occasional danger occurs, this response can be useful.
Fears Can Hold Us Back
If, on the other hand, there actually isn’t an impending danger, then our fears are based past programming or conditioning that isn’t correct. These fears can hold us back. If the fight or flight response kicks in when it doesn’t need to because of past conditioning, then our fears can prevent us from enjoying our daily lives as we should.
Overwhelming fear may cause extreme apprehension and severely interfere with a person’s daily life. A fear of flying may cause a person to experience intense worry and apprehension while flying in a commercial airplane. The person consciously knows the plane is safe, but such fear is never reasonable. Such an undercurrent of deeply unsettling and alarming feelings can often expand to include a number of other seemingly unrelated things and situations.
Extreme and seemingly illogical fear is the subconscious way to protect us from what it perceives to be harmful and life threatening. The subconscious mind cannot decipher real danger from imagined danger, and so it creates an intense apprehension. Whether it stems from a physical event or emotional situation in our lives, the subconscious way of guarding and protecting us is by generating intense discomfort. Thus we avoid what the subconscious mind perceives as dangerous.
In time, just the thought of feeling apprehensive generates more fear, which creates more apprehension. The person may even become hyper-vigilant, and easily unnerved at the slightest physical sensation that reminds them of fearful feelings. This often leads the person into feeling they have lost control of themselves and their life.
Hypnosis Can Help
When the initial event of the unset of the fear is consciously known, hypnosis can be a safe, quick, and effective way to take back control of yourself and your life by re-examining the fear and establishing realistic and accurate thoughts. It allows you to replace out of control reactions with relaxing and calming responses. In addition, self hypnosis is an effective method to continue to dissolve any further catastrophic thoughts, and continue to build self-confidence, self-assurance, and emotional wellness.
In some cases, the initial event where the fear originated may not be consciously known. Hypnosis can be used to uncover the situation and circumstance where the fear began. This allows the individual to reexamine the conditions causing the fear to develop and gain insight to how it grew into extreme fear. New insight and understanding allows the subconscious mind to reorganize, change its perceptions of danger, and eliminate fear and resulting discomforts.
Hypnosis can help overcome many fears and phobias including fear of spiders or other insects, fear of heights, fear of public speaking, fear of flying, fear of dogs, social fears, and many others.
