A Spider Phobia is a Learned Experience

Don't panic if you are frightened by spiders. You are in good company. Over the years, I have found that spider fears are only surpassed by the fear of public speaking and fear of flying in terms of how many people are wrestling with them.

My clients even panic at the thought of looking at a photo or hearing the word "spider." They imagine giant spiders coming towards them. They envisage spiders attacking them when there were no spiders and they check rooms “just in case”. When clients first come to see me, they hate the way spiders look and the way they move. But now I have clients who are comfortable even handling spiders! Some are even brave enough to go into the graden shed at Christmas time!

Fear of spiders, or arachnophobia, consists of various elements, or aspects. For instance, it could be fear of it jumping, fear of being in the same room as him or her, fear of their legs, and so on.

No matter what aspects contribute to your fear of spiders, fear of insects or other animals, or indeed any other phobia, they are experienced by a feeling you don't like, something that feels wrong, whether it manifests as heart palpitations, feeling sick, lightheaded or many of the other manifestations.

The good news is that many phobias can be overcome in as little as 3 sessions using NLP and hypnotherapy techniques.

I can help YOU with my years of clinical experience and a mixture of psychology and energy treatments such as hypnotherapy (hypnosis) and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). Whilst many phobias can be over in just one session, sometimes it takes longer. It depends upon many conditions, and this can be determined at the initial consultation stage.

Hypnosis Cardiff phobia treatments are measurable so that you will know how well you are progressing. And we don't force you to face your fear.

As a recent client said:-

"I am more relaxed since seeing you for hypnotherapy. Amazingly, I feel I can control and cope with my fear of spiders now. I don’t get panicky seeing photos of them or talking about spiders! I also feel more optimistic about my holiday where there will potentially be a lot of creepie crawlies. I am finally looking forward to going abroad now. Thank you for making the process so comfortable and relaxing."
