Claustrophobia and Hypnotherapy

Sufferers of claustrophobia suffer from fears associated with small spaces or areas where it can be difficult to leave quickly, such as trains, airplanes or elevators. Some sufferers even feel claustrophobic inside MRI medical scanners. Because of their fear, claustrophobic people try to avoid enclosed places. They also tend to linger close to entrances or along the walls of a room, versus approaching the center. Claustrophobia sufferers often suffer panic attacks when they begin to feel "trapped" or enclosed. For many sufferers, being in a confined space is as alarming as being buried alive.

Experiencing an anxiety attack in a tiny space can be a scary incident for claustrophobic people and those around them. When an individual's claustrophobia is triggered, they will often have panic attacks, shortness of breath, nausea, passing out, and other, often extreme, reactions. One may become claustrophobic at any time or because of a traumatic incident, but it often begins at a young age.

The condition is aggravated by various situations, which can vary from person to person. For instance, some people might only feel panicky while riding a lift, while other people find that crowds trigger their condition. In any situation, claustrophobia and similar phobias often interfere with people's day-to-day lives and personal happiness. People with phobias frequently become avoidant and enjoy a lower quality of life as they arrange their daily lives around their fears.

For many people, the aspect of embarrassment over their phobia is as debilitating as the the phobic condition itself. Some sufferers recognize that their fears are overblown and irrational, but cannot seem to stay in control. The reason for this is because phobias are rooted deep within the unconscious, which no amount of conscious effort can be fully effective in controlling. This makes treating phobias particularly challenging.

Claustrophobia is usually treated with anti-anxiety drugs or counseling. Hypnotherapy is an ideal, safe and non-invasive form of therapy with no harmful side effects. It works by pinpointing the root causes of fear in the unconscious to rapidly cure a phobia. In particular, a program that utilizes Ericksonian hypnotherapy techniques and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) can be used to cure a phobia. This novel program uses numerous hypnotic techniques to help people beat their fears.

The initial step in curing a phobia is helping the sufferer feel relaxed and anxiety-free. Hypnosis therapy has long been used as a form of stress-reducing therapy, to help people clear their minds and focus deeply.

Conventional hypnosis techniques have used direct, post-hypnotic suggestions to help cure phobias. The disadvantage of the direct approach is that the mind tends to reject being merely "told" how to behave. Many people put up mental blocks ignore suggestions. In today's society, both children and adults are especially likely to ignore direct suggestions since we are mostly independent people who question authority.

Deep relaxation is the essence of the hypnotic state. Once in the relaxed state, instead of using direct post-hypnotic suggestions, a better approach known as systematic desensitization can help extinguish a phobia through visual imagery.

Ericksonian hypnotherapy uses a more innovative approach than conventional techniques. It utilizies indirect suggestions concealed in captivating stories and metaphors to interest the unconscious and convince it to adopt a desirable, phobia-free line of thinking. Due to the fact that indirect suggestions don't need to be adapted to a single phobia like direct suggestions do, a single good Ericksonian hypnotic therapy program will work to beat any phobia or even multiple phobias.

NLP, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, is an innovative form of therapy that many well trained hypnotherapists have begun to use. The best NLP technique for overcoming a phobia is called the Visual - Kinesthetic Disassociation, also referred to as the V/K. The V/K is recognized as the single session phobia cure, and for good reason. Phobic or panic reactions (attacks) occur because traumatic experiences are attached to and aggravated by mental images. With the V/K, the traumatic experiences are disconnected from the mental images - often in one simple session, and the fear is essentially extinguished.

Those fighting with claustrophobia can find relief with hypnotherapy. The combination of Ericksonian hypnosis therapy with NLP techniques will help all people beat their phobias. Hypnosis therapy has helped countless users feel safe and secure in situations where earlier, they would've suffered a breakdown. Hypnosis techniques have provided phenomenal benefits for people afflicted with phobias and continue to improve lives each and every day.
