Halloween Ghouls and Ghosts

Halloween conjures up our fears and phobias.  Have you noticed how eerie it can be at night – a “lonely” night or a night that would be ideal for a horror movie!  Have you noticed how the best horror movies feast on your imagination, it’s so dark you can’t see anything but the music and atmosphere it creates like footsteps following the future victim and you can feel your heart racing and feeling the fear – all the build up from your imagination.

What is fear?  Fear is False Expectations Appearing Real.  It is the unknown rather than the reality that frightens.

With hypnosis you can learn to overcome your fear whether it is the dentist, flying, dogs, water.  Sometimes the fear is not what you identify like flying etc but is the “unknown” element.  This I like to call the “what if” and that can be where the fear grows strongest because your imagination fuels it and the worse the scenario the more your heart races, the whole stress cycle is active in your body.  When this happens the heart is working overtime and this increases the blood pressure in the body.  But for some people, the heart can’t push enough blood through fast enough and when blood pressure drops suddenly fainting will occur.

If fears and phobias are holding you back why not consider hypnosis and NLP to overcome and achieve balance and control.
