[email protected]A strong fear - or phobia - of dogs can make the most pleasant walk fraught with anxiety. Hearing a dog bark can cause immediate panic and a powerful urge run away.
Of course, some dogs will take this as an invitation to play and chase you, which makes the situation even worse.
What causes dog phobia?
It may be that you developed a fear of dogs through a past experience with dogs. Maybe one particular one scared you and now your unconscious mind has come to associate all dogs with threat and fear.
On the other hand, you may have no idea why you are scared of dogs - one particularly phobic client got their phobia from watching a news report about a dog attack when they were young.
This is what the unconscious mind does so well. It over-generalises one experience to fit all experiences - tarring all dogs with the same brush!
How hypnosis can help overcome fear
The trouble with fear is, it's controlled by an older part of your brain. Which means that you can know consciously that something isn't dangerous at the same time as being terrified of it. The older part of the brain (the survival part) takes over.
Hypnosis is great for updating unconscious responses.
Overcome Fear of Dogs will gently allow your unconscious mind to learn a new way of responding to dogs, giving you the choice back about how to respond.
The vast majority of dogs are safe and even friendly. And when you are relaxed around dogs you’ll instinctively know how to handle them better. It will feel natural to relax around dogs and dogs will pick up that you are relaxed and comfortable.
You will also be able to spot a truly aggressive dog much more easily because your senses are not swamped by anxiety.
