OTHER FEARS

Most folks consider phobias to be isolated fears that may put some limits on life, but, outside of the specific situation involved, have little impact on emotional well being. However, more professionals now understand that the existence of any irrational fear makes the world seem a more hostile place. The fear/anxiety associated with spiders keeps the body's systems at an unnecessarily heightened alert status guarding against the possibility of a "spider encounter." These fears reduce self-esteem and self-confidence.

We have observed many people as they use an energy therapy to eliminate life long phobias. The most common reaction has been a deep profound sense of peace and accomplishment. During treatment the body's progress in giving up the phobic tension can be seen by watching shoulders move back to a more relaxed position and facial muscles become relaxed.

A Dan Story:

Often, after the phobic fear is treated, folks forget they were ever afraid. Several years ago during a workshop, I shared with people sitting near me that I specialized in trauma relief and phobia elimination. The woman on my right said she was terrified of spiders and she was able to trace the fear back to when she was about 5 years old. During the workshop lunch break, she was taught to use EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and was able to successfully treat herself for fear of spiders. I happened to see her at another workshop about 3 months later and asked how she was doing with spiders. Her response was, "What do you mean?" After reminding her of the treatment we did at the previous workshop, she said, "I forgot about that. But, you know, all spring when I have seen a spider inside I have killed it myself without even thinking about it. I could never do that before. So that tapping does work." It seems that for some the lack of fear becomes so natural that memories of having had the fear recede far into the background.
