Phobia

Do You Have a Phobia? Do You Want to Get Rid of It?

Do you mean to tell me that I have been suffering all these years and there's a simple cure?

If you have a phobia, this question is a no-brainer; of course you want to get rid of it.

But did you know that there is an easy way?

A phobia is just your subconscious trying to protect you from a situation that it perceives as potentially dangerous (to understand more about the subconscious read our article.

It's a result from a one-time learning - a single incident in your formative years that felt so threatening to you that your subconscious set up a defence mechanism in case it happened again.

Because it was a one-time learning, it only takes one therapy session to get rid of a phobia.  Don't believe me?  Well, consider this...

Do you know not to touch hot things?

Yes, of course you do. So how come you know? Is that something learnt? Or is it something that you know instinctively, like salmon knowing where to spawn? You're right; it's a learnt response.

You learnt not touch hot things either because you did it as a child, and it hurt, so you learnt not to do it again, or because a grown-up told you. How many times do you think you had to get hurt/be told before you learnt that?

Right again; just the once. It's like the old saying, 'Once bitten, twice shy'.

Well, it's the same with a phobia. Something happened in your formative years, and your mind took action to protect you from harm. And because it was a one-time learning, you only need one session to clear it.

Do you mean to tell me that I have been suffering all these years and there's a simple cure?

Er ... if you have a simple phobia, the answer is yes.

A complex phobia, such as one that you learnt from a parent, may take longer.

There are several methods, but the most effective is an NLP technique called Double Dissociation.
