If you are or have experienced a phobia, this podcast will be of interest to you.  Know, you are not alone.  Approximately 10% of people in the USA experience phobias.  They are more common in  women than men.  They are the most common  anxiety disorder.  In the UK, an estimated 10 million people have phobias. Many people with a phobia don’t need treatment and avoiding the object of their fear is enough to control the problem.  However, it may not always be possible to avoid certain phobias such as birds or insects (as they are plentiful) or flying… my mother-in -aw did.  She was so frightened of flying she avoided it all her life.  She wouldn’t go anywhere in the world that she couldn’t get to by car, boat or plane. Phobias can hold us back from enjoying life.  I recently read that almost 1/3 of people in the UK say their fear of spiders causes them to think twice before visiting destinations such as Australia, home to some of the most venomous eight-legged creatures on the planet. In this podcast, I discuss my experience with phobias, personally and as an NLP practitioner.  I hope you find my words helpful and it provides you with the impetus to seek help because it’s out there.  I know this for sure. #phobias #nlp #hypnotherapy #anxiety #fear #holdyouback --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pamela-pitcher/message
