Is It A Fear Or A Phobia?

Although hypnosis can help with both, it is useful to distinguish the two but how do you do that? To gauge the degree to which your fear is affecting you, ask yourself the following questions:

  1. Is my fear taking up a lot of my time? Do I think about it obsessively?
  2. Is my fear forcing me to do things the hard way? For instance, do I go out of my way to avoid a situation?
  3. Is my fear affecting the other relationships in my life? Do I avoid certain situations with significant others because I am afraid of something that might happen?
  4. Is my fear affecting my physical condition? Do my hands shake frequently? Is my pulse often rapid? Do I get lots of headaches? Do I have blurred vision or nausea? Am I often depressed?

If it is interfering in your personal life in any of the above ways, then you may want to consider speaking to a therapist about whether or not hypnosis would be an appropriate treatment. You can reach me at 361.442.9590 or holtadams2002@yahoo.com.
