Phobias are an extreme or irrational fear of an object or situation and can cause a lot of distress. They can restrict day-to-day life and in severe cases, an individual may organise their life around avoiding the thing they’re afraid of. If the phobia can’t be avoided entirely, intense anxiety will result.
Phobias are often developed in early childhood, teenage years, or even as late as early twenties. Within those early years, negative experiences can snowball in a child’s mind and lead to a very specific phobia. If you, or someone you care about is suffering from a phobic disorder, then you are most certainly not alone.
Phobias can be split into three main categories:
The use of therapy can help you overcome your phobia as well as its symptoms and triggers. We’ll build a tailor-made program that works for you with psychotherapy treatments such exposure therapy.
Here, understanding the cause of a phobia is less important than focusing on how to treat the avoidance behaviour that has developed over time. As you learn how to better manage and relate to your reactions, thoughts and feelings, you’ll find that your anxiety and fear are reduced, and you are no longer in control of your life. Treatment is usually directed at one specific phobia at a time.
Along with exposure therapy we typically use a combination of therapies to treat phobias; these include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and hypnotherapy alongside talking therapies such as counselling and psychotherapy.
