In episode 26 I talked about anxiety and how you can manage this with hypnotherapy. This week's podcast follows on from this so please go back and listen for more information on anxiety. A phobia is an overwhelming and debilitating fear of an object, place, situation, feeling or an animal. Phobias are more exaggerated than fears. A fear might make you feel a bit anxious where a phobia can become so severe that a person might begin to organise their whole life around an exaggerated or unrealistic sense of danger about a situation, an object, an animal or a bodily function. This can be very restrictive and can cause a lot of unnecessary anxiety. Phobias usually build up over time but can also follow a traumatic event. The severity of a phobia can vary dramatically. If you’re only faced with your trigger very rarely it might not affect your everyday life too much. Or you might be debilitated by the fear for a large part of your life and plan your life around the phobia. You might feel These are instantaneous and you might feel you have no control of these responses. This is where cognitive therapy can help you change the reactions you have to triggers and take control over your reactions to the world around you. This reaction can be attached to many different scenarios and this is why there are so many different phobias we can experience. From the more common fears and phobias like To the less common phobias like These are all more specific phobias which are centred around a situation, an object, bodily function, animal or an activity. Phobias can also be more complex which tend to be more limiting and usually develop during adulthood. Complex phobias are commonly associated with deep rooted fear or anxiety about a particular situation or circumstance such as agoraphobia or social phobia. This type of phobia might take a longer therapy plan to overcome because there are so many triggers that need addressing. Listen to this week's podcast for my 5 top tips to help you overcome phobias.

Podcast 10: Study with confidence! Looking at how hypnotherapy can help you study more effectively, there will also be a free hypnotherapy audio at the end of this podcast that you can enjoy, keep and come back to time and time again. The podcast was inspired by something I saw on facebook this week and thought now would be a great time to talk about how hypnotherapy can help you to study with confidence. In next week’s podcast I’ll be talking about exam success and how you can use hypnotherapy to help you succeed in exam situations. Relaxation techniques like hypnotherapy help you create the same calm and relaxed mental state you need for success, it's in you right now so all you need do is teach your sub conscious mind to narrow its focus and you will be able to study more effectively. You can train yourself to focus on any chosen goal where and when you need to, becoming the master of your own concentration! Imagine how confident you will be going into an exam knowing that you have studied to your full ability and been able to focus entirely on your learning, with clear concentration. This focus, this clear concentration will also stop you from getting distracted from your goals and stay on track to success. Today’s podcast will include a technique you can use to focus on your studying and develop powerful concentration, we will also go through a visualisation that will help rid you of self doubts.
