It's good to know that you can easily overcome fears and phobias with hypnosis, because such anxieties are extremely common. More than 10% of people will experience a simple phobia at some time in their lives. From elevators, spiders and birds, to heights, dentists and open spaces, there is nothing we can't develop anxiety or phobias about.
But you're not doomed to be stuck with them forever.
Happily, hypnosis provides an extremely effective cure for these problems as it provides the opposite of anxiety - deep relaxation. At the same time, it teaches the mind a different way of responding to the feared object or situation. Hypnosis for phobias works by detaching the stimulus (trigger object) from the emotional response (fear) and 'updating' the brain with a new, more realistic response. ~ Excerpted from Hypnosis Downloads

She was intimidating – twenty years older than my 23 summers – but I had to confront her. I was her manager and her bullying of another female member of staff had to stop.
She fears she's going crazy. He wants her to think she's going mad so he can have her locked up in an institution. She hears footsteps in the attic, pictures vanish from the walls only to reappear later, and – perhaps most frightening of all – the gaslights fade and brighten seemingly of their own accord.
Fear of failure had him stuck as fast as a guy in a '50s jungle movie struggling waist deep in quicksand.
"Fear of death. I forget about it sometimes; I might be at a party or having dinner with friends, and then it hits me all over again. I'm going to die! I don't know when, but I do know it will happen sometime. One day I won't be here, none of us will. I feel frightened, sad, and immediately stop enjoying myself - what's the point because I'll be dead one day anyway!
