Hypnosis for Claustrophobia Nottingham
Claustrophobia is a fear of being trapped or confined in a small space. The sufferer in particular will be scared that they will be unable to escape from the situation they are in and will feel panic, anxiety and a feeling of being out of control. Our Hypnotherapy for Claustrophobia Nottingham helps by getting the individual to let go of the irrational fear that they are feeling and to relearn a more relaxed response.*
Generally Claustrophobia is caused by an experience in the persons past that made them associate small spaces with danger. Perhaps when they were a child they were trapped in a cupboard or they experienced a situation that they couldn’t easily escape from. Following this incident their unconscious mind will try and prevent them from feeling that danger again and therefore create feelings of anxiety within them to stop them entering into a similar situation.
Claustrophobia Symptoms
Typical symptoms of Claustrophobia can include
- Anxiety
- Increased Heart Rate
- Hyperventilation
- Panic Attacks
- Sweating
- Nausea
- Fainting
As well as the physical symptoms an individual who is suffering from claustrophobia will go out of their way to avoid certain situations. In particular they may:
- Avoid Lifts
- Stop using the underground or trains
- Always keep doors open so they have an exit route
- Avoid Crowded Locations
- Stop Flying
- Be unable to use MRI scanners.
This behaviour in extreme cases is severely limiting for the individual as they may turn down jobs, be unable to visit relatives or even undergo medical procedures because of their phobia. Hypnotherapy for Claustrophobia in Nottingham teaches you to reduce these symptoms through deep relaxation and desensitisation techniques.*
Overcoming Claustrophobia
Many of our clients who come to see us at our clinics are unaware that they are experiencing a fear of small spaces. It is not unusual for us to get telephone calls from clients asking for help with flying fears or having problems driving and not realising that the real problem is a fear of being stuck either in a small space or being unable to escape.
When we work with our clients we are always trying to find what the root cause of their problems are because that is what enables us to address the problem more quickly and easily. When you establish what the real situation is it can rewire the mind extremely quickly to think in a very different way. In addition to establishing the root cause we use a number of techniques including hypnotic suggestion, NLP and coaching techniques to help our clients become calmer and more relaxed in situations which previously made them afraid.*
NLP Fast Phobia Cure
One of the very simple techniques we use with many of our clients is the NLP fast phobia cure which has shown in many cases to reduce phobic thoughts and feelings. This technique has been one of the most important in recent years for creating positive changes relatively quickly. Our senior qualified hypnotherapist is also an experienced NLP practitioner who has used this method thousands of times to help clients.*
