Hypnosis for Arachnophobia in Nottinghamshire
Arachnophobia or a Fear of Spiders is one of the most common phobias in the UK today. In fact it is such a common fear that Wikipedia states that up to 50% of women and 10% of men will have some symptoms when they see a spider. When a person has a Fear of Spiders they tend to live in a state of high anxiety as they are constantly worried about coming across their trigger. This fear may impact them when they see a spider, its web or even when they see a picture of one or a program about them on the TV. Hypnotherapy for Fear of Spiders works by using deep relaxation and visualisation techniques to reduce your sensitivity to the spider trigger.*
A Fear of Spiders generally begins in childhood and may be triggered by a parent or relative who also suffers from the condition. So a young child who sees their parents becoming scared when they encounter a spider may also take on that fear. This Fear of Spiders may only be mild in some people but for others it gets out of control and leads to irrational behaviour. In particular a person may use extreme avoidance techniques to prevent them from encountering a spider.

Hypnotherapy for Arachnophobia – Fear of Spiders
At your first Hypnotherapy session you will be taught deep relaxation techniques which will help to calm down your bodies trigger response. Once you are in a state of deep relaxation desensitisation or exposure therapy is used to eradicate the problem. At first you may be asked just to think about spiders and slowly through hypnosis your worry about those thoughts will start to reduce. Then you may be shown a picture and again you will be slowly desensitised to what you see. Gradually you are taken through a number of different stages until eventually the fear has reduced or vanished. The pace of the desensitisation is entirely down to the client and at no stage are you made to do anything that will push you back into the feelings of panic.*
