11 Master Your Fear of Animals

Why do some people fear or hate all snakes regardless of them being non-venomous?

Why do some people fear snakes of the non-venomous type even though most pose little or no threat to them? And why do some people go as far as killing all snakes? Especially since they keep the rodent population in check without polluting our Earth? And why do some people think they’re slimy and gross when they have never even touched them? Why all the hate for snakes? Is it because of the Bible, the way snakes are portrayed as evil in the Bible? Phobias? Or is it just no knowledge about snakes or ignorance? I think snakes are cool, I’ve held black rat snakes and boas before, not slimy, a snake’s skin feels like soft leather, somewhat. And the snakes I’ve held were docile and gentle, not wild(they were kept as pets by my high-school applied biology teacher) and therefore not nasty. I wish people were more open-minded about these creatures.

Fear Of Dogs – Hypnotherapy Treatment For Dog Phobia

An irrational fear of dogs, or dog phobia is a not uncommon condition that we treat fairly regularly here in our UK hypnotherapy practice. Its clinical name is cynophobia. Like most other phobias, dog phobia is irrational in that the cynophobic person is well aware that the vast majority of dogs pose no real threat. Though they may be fully aware of this, the person is nevertheless powerless to control their fear. For the person experiencing dog phobia, even the smallest and most inoffensive of dogs is threatening and fearsome. In some cases, even the noise of a dog barking in the distance is sufficient to cause fear and apprehension. In common with other phobias and irrational fears, what has happened to the individual suffering from a dog phobia is that at some time in the past, he or she has been frightened by a dog or has been influenced by another person’s fear of dogs. It may even have been the case that they became afraid when watching a television programme or a movie. Or they may have heard frightening stories concerning dogs relayed by a family member, friend or acquaintance. Most often such an experience has taken place at some time in childhood, though in a minority of cases, it may have occurred when the person was considerably older. Quite often the origin of the fear itself has been forgotten by the individual’s conscious, aware mind, and it feels as though the fear has been with them forever. Such, however, is not the case, since the only fears that human beings are born with are the fear of loud noises and the fear of falling. All other fears are learned. A fear of dogs can affect the individual’s life in many ways. Many of the things that most of us take for granted – visiting friends and family, holidaying, going for a walk in the park or even walking down the street, become real ordeals if there is or might be a dog somewhere in the picture. A dog phobia can even affect the individual’s career and ability to work. Postal employees, social workers, nurses, and home carers can all be seriously affected and prevented from performing their duties because of this irrational fear. The good news is that since this fear is learned, it can also be unlearned. While many ‘hypnotherapists’ attempt to resolve this phobia with suggestion therapy, using some kind of ‘one size fits all’ script, such methods are rarely effective in the long term. In order for a genuine dog phobia to be cleared so that the individual is permanently released from their irrational fear, it is necessary that the actual driver for the fear is neutralized. And this means going to its origin. With modern Advanced Transformational Hypnotherapy we can reach deep within the subconscious mind, to that place where the fear itself is held. Using modern hypnosis, the subconscious mind can be helped to let go of faulty programming and realign itself with reality. And the reality is that the vast majority of dogs pose absolutely no threat. There is no real reason why you or anyone else need to continue to experience cynophobia or a fear of dogs. Most dog phobias can be effectively treated in as little as 2 or 3 sessions of brief transformational hypnotherapy. Seek out a fully qualified and experienced transformational hypnotherapist and you can free yourself for good of your fear of dogs and get on with your life. You will be really happy that you did!

Facing our Fears – Overcoming Fear – Part 4

As human beings in the process of evolution, it is imperative that we overcome the bondage of fear so we may experience the security, peace, love, courage, faith, wisdom, understanding and fulfillment which we desire, deserve and which is our destiny. Fear binds us to a lower level of consciousness with less love and happiness.

Actual Contact

One way to overcome a fear is to gradually approach that being, object or situation in gradual but increasing doses. We will, in this way, by experience, learn that in reality it is harmless to us. Fear of the sea could be gradually overcome by immersing our bodies, allowing the water to come up to our ankles, knees and so on over a period of time. Fear of heights can be eventually conquered through exposure to gradually increasing heights.

This technique can be used with the fear of any real object or situation. The important factor to remember is to make the right dosage of contact. We should start slowly and bring ourselves just to the threshold of fear, just where fear begins and where we can still observe and work with the fear through breathing and relaxation.

Later, the experience can be repeated, this time increasing contact with that which is feared, playing with our limits, and learning to relax while in contact. We can relax by breathing slowly and deeply while reminding ourselves of the truth that we are not actually in danger, but that our mind is being controlled by some false conditioning, probably from some past experience.

At the moment we begin to feel fear, we can begin to breathe more slowly and deeply, while concentrating on relaxing the body and mind. We will notice that certain muscles begin to tense up. We can relax these muscles with the help of the breath and mental messages of relaxation.

We may remember thoughts that help us to feel more secure or bring to mind any frame of reference that allows us to feel security and protection, such as God, or various spiritual or logical truths. We can remind ourselves that our imagination is being exploited by our unfounded fears and that the danger we feel is not real.

Mental Contact

Contact with the feared can also be made through the subconscious mind and the imagination. Through methods of relaxation, self-hypnosis, mind control, and positive projection techniques, we can imagine having contact with the feared.

When we imagine ourselves in contact with the feared object or situation, we might find that we experience the same types of emotional and physical reactions as we do when actually in contact. We can then visualize alternative ways of feeling and reacting to that previously feared situation.

If we have feared certain animals, insects, or even certain types of people, we can imagine ourselves as feeling safe, secure and peaceful while in contact with them. We can imagine ourselves feeling safe, self-confident and courageous.

Such reprogramming of the subconscious mind will eventually alter our reactive mechanisms to life. Those who are already experienced in such techniques can do such reprogramming sessions alone, but some will need guidance in getting started.

Those, who choose to, can even imagine accepting (not desiring, but accepting) death. We can eventually reprogram ourselves to believe in our indestructible soul nature, thus removing all fear at the root.

There are three approaches here.

a. Some prefer to project that nothing unpleasant will ever happen to them. This is useful and will, to a large extent, send out positive energies to our environment, creating a positive reality. Of course, we will all eventually die and all lose our loved ones at some point. No amount of projection will prevent this.

b. Others choose to imagine all in God’s light and leave the specifics of what will happen to some higher and wiser power, such as God.

The first technique is an active projection of what we want to happen and the second is a passive acceptance of whatever is best.

c. A third possibility would be to project what we prefer in each situation and then offer it to God, placing it in light and completing our “prayer” with the thought, “May the Highest Good for all occur in this situation.”

“Energy Meridian Based Psychology” = EMDR – TFT – EFT

These initials stand for the latest techniques for freeing ourselves from unwanted emotions. These will be explained in greater detail in future articles. Let is suffice to say that:

1. EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (Francine Shapiro) needs to be applied by an experienced EMDR practitioner who will enable us to come into contact with the traumatic event which is causing our fear, pain, guilt, self-rejection or other negative emotion. After doing so, the memory will be discharged and then reinterpreted as we introduce the logic or truth we chose into this previously traumatic memory, thus healing us of this problem.

2. TFT or Thought Field Therapy (Dr. Roger Callahan) deals with the specific energy field which is generated by each thought and allows us to heal this energy field, thus removing the cause of that specific emotion. Thus we focus on what we fear and then tap on specific acupuncture points in order redistribute that energy field and thus collapsing the energy disruption (identified with that thought) which was creating the emotion. This, too, often requires an experienced practitioner

3. EFT of Emotional Freedom Therapy (Gary Craig) is a simplified version of TFT, which we can employ on ourselves. We bring to mind whatever causes our negative emotion (such as fear or anxiety) and then tap on specific points in order to correct that disruption in the energy field, which creates the emotion. The thought creates the energy field and the energy field creates the emotion. If we correct the energy field the emotion disappears.

In my 35 years of counseling, I have found no techniques more effective than these. You can change your life through them.

What’s with people saying black people fear dogs and ghost?

LOL:).I’m black and I love dogs. What are people talking about? A lot of blacks actually own dogs. Most of my family has dogs and I love it. And as for ghosts, i’ve never seen a ghost, but I’m sure anyone of any race of people would sh*t in their pants if they did.

Don’t Put 13 Entries on Your List of Phobias

The list of phobias suffered by humans is as varied as we are as people. Many, like fear of snakes (ophidiophobia) are well grounded and serve us good purpose. Others like chorophobia (fear of dancing) serve less purpose, that is unless the fear serves to prevent you from embarrassing yourself.

It has been written that phobias have existed since the dawn of man. The more esoteric of them, such as consecotaleophobia (fear of chopsticks) are more current. Although many snicker, even the silliest of phobias impact someone making their life more difficult. There are many applicable ones within this category.

For instance, haptephobia (fear of being touched) is a real phobia which afflicts more sufferers than one would imagine. Strong versions of this phobia banish those who have it to lonely existences rarely leaving the confines of their own homes. Those with hodophobia (fear of road travel) can leave their homes, but not go much further.

Lilapsophobia (fear of hurricanes or tornados) is an example of a phobia which can serve a good purpose within reason. Obviously, it is within our interests to have a built in aversion to being in the path of a tornado. However, as with the tendency for many phobias, when taken to an extreme it can lead one to run for shelter at the slightest hint of clouds.

Some phobias can actually help us succeed. Those suffering peniaphobia (fear of poverty) are most likely to turn out to be good workers. Conversely, those suffering from plutophobia are more likely to be the opposite. No, that isn’t fear of a planet or theme park character. Plutophobia is a fear of having wealth, and believe it or not it does exist.

Many common phobias, such as pteromerhanophobia (fear of flying) are able to be confronted and overcome. Others, like children suffering scolionophobia (fear of school), are quickly surmounted with parental help. Similarly, your spouse will quickly help you get over novercaphobia (fear of your mother in law). Phobias can’t get you out of everything.

Many try to use them as a crutch such as the husband who forgot his anniversary blaming it on his anthophobia (fear of flowers). Others are quite logical and reside within all of us, such as atomosophobia (fear of atomic explosions). Ballistophobia (fear of bullets) also fits into this category.

The list of phobias ranges from the common to the rare. It also goes from the serious to the comical. Anything on earth appears to be capable of triggering one. Growing everyday as we invent new things to scare us, this list will never end.

What is the name for the phobia of NORMAL explosions?

I already know that atomosophobia is the fear of atomic explosions, but what about normal things like balloons and party poppers?
I thought ligyrophobia was only for balloons’ popping sounds and a balloon itself.
