I’m going to talk today about phobias and what I have discovered in helping people through hypnosis.
In my experience and in all of the cases in which I have assisted, the phobia has had an understandable trigger that was created in the long-forgotten past. The mind experienced something it didn’t like, recognised a pattern surrounding that event, and ever since, that association became the trigger to re-create fear as a protective mechanism.
I’m not saying this is the only explanation, but in my experience, every single phobia that I have helped someone with has been the direct result of a traumatic event and the mind’s conclusions: where their brain observed what was going on, linked all the facets of that experience into a conclusion and tried to box that risk in so that it never would occur again. By noticing the environment, the activities and the circumstance, by labelling all that as dangerous and creating a checkbox-like fear trigger for the future, the mind finds an effective mechanism to limit the possibility of the event occurring again. You end up with a subconscious or non-conscious habitual response which appears out of control because there’s nothing that you can do, consciously, to fix it: it is no longer operating as a conscious process and so feels out of control.
