Phobias can make our lives at best slightly difficult and, at worst, intolerable. We can be afraid of almost anything, Animals, birds, fish and insects, heights, flying, closed in spaces, leaving our house, the dark, noise, needles, pain, hospitals, childbirth, death, sex, going to work, going to school (children), dust, water, smells, being sick, the list is endless.

We often don't even know what it is we are afraid of. We feel so afraid that we start to get anxiety attacks. Sometimes these fears can develop into full blown panic attacks and we have no idea what is causing them. We just feel really bad. I have worked extensively with people suffering from all types of phobias, anxiety and panic attacks. I either use just NLP techniques or a combination of therapies incorporating NLP, EFT, hypnotherapy, emotrance and past life therapy. The person is then usually able to let go of the fear for good.

Anxiety and Stress
We all feel anxious from time to time, but for many people what may start as a slight feeling of stress or anxiety can often lead into deep and plunging depression.

Up to the age of about seven years old our brain is like a sponge, absorbing without question everything we are told. We cannot reason when we are very young, so our subconscious mind can only absorb. At that age we unequivocally believe that everything we are told is the absolute truth. The understanding we gain up to that time in our lives can make or break us. It completely defines the way we think as adults, whether this is good, bad, positive or negative.

If parents, teachers, relations, friends etc tell us nice encouraging things such as; we are clever, pretty, handsome, safe, happy etc, these will automatically become positive beliefs that we hold in the very core of our being. These positive beliefs then help us to create an optimistic and happy life for ourselves.

Equally if the same people tell us we are useless, unworthy, stupid, fat, ugly etc these suggestions will also be completely absorbed into our belief system creating deep negative and conflicting emotions within us.

Things that happen to us at a very young age can still affect us very deeply when we are adults. For example, being left to cry for long periods of time as a baby can cause deep feelings of uncertainty and separation. Not to mention abuse and bullying, whether verbal or physical. Our subconscious mind never forgets anything.

What many people do not know is that with the use of hypnosis a person is able to access any episode in their life. This can even be as early as when they were in the womb, or when they were a very young baby or child.

When regressed the person is easily able to find the cause of deep trauma or anxiety, even though their everyday conscious mind has no awareness or memory of the incident. Once this experience is understood it can be released, and the cause of the anxiety can be let go of.

We hold on to so many negative emotions, that what may appear to be a small incident at school or at home can trigger a deep state of anxiety later on in life. This is because we frequently hold on to resentment and anger towards others and ourselves which, if unresolved, can turn into anxiety or even physical pain.

Hypnotherapy for Childbirth or Hypnobirthing as it is usually called is becoming more and more popular as women want to be more in charge of the way their babies are born. My aim is to teach the expectant mother to be more in control of the whole birthing process. We hold a lot of fear in our bodies and fear creates pain so the more relaxed and calm the expectant mum is, the more she will be able to overcome any feelings of discomfort associated with the birth. A birthing pool and the use of hypnotherapy is perhaps the best way to have a calm relaxed birthing experience and a happy baby.

Words like waves or surges of energy are preferable to contractions, a word that is enough to make the new mother tense up at the sound of it. I also encourage the use of dolphin sounds during the birth so that their soothing echoes can help the mother relax completely. Dolphins are natural midwives and extensive research has been done in Russia with women actually giving birth in the water with dolphins. A Russian midwife called Igor Charkovsky helps his patients to give birth in the Black Sea whilst assisted by dolphins. His belief is that dolphins have such a natural affinity with babies about to be born that they gather around the pregnant woman as the birth is imminent. The sounds that they make put the mother into a deeply relaxed state so that she feels totally safe. When the baby is born the dolphins often gently nudge it to the surface to aid its breathing.

I prefer to see expectant mothers 3-4 times before the birth usually near the start of the third trimester. (If possible one of these visits will also include the father to be or the birthing partner) I will provide all the necessary CDs for the mum to be to start practicing with and also the CDs for the actual birth experience.
