SUFFERING FROM A PHOBIA? HOW AVOIDANCE FUELS PHOBIA

When we have a phobia avoiding our phobia feels like a good plan, but what we avoid then ends up controlling us.
Avoiding spiders, flying, or whatever the phobia is, actually makes it stronger. Avoiding the scary thing doesn’t stop those fearful thoughts.

However, when we decide to find a way to overcome our fear, gently, compassionately, and always at our own pace, we discover that we can cope.

If you have a phobia you’d like to overcome, contact me. I am Solution Focused, and we work with a method that doesn’t ask you to face your phobia in real life. I use ‘inner mental rehearsal’ techniques. Essentially it’s using our imagination as a powerful force for good, learning solutions so we leave problems in the past.

Freedom comes from reclaiming the parts of our life fear has fenced off, one calm, supported step at a time.
