Testimonials for Fears and Phobias

Fears and phobias are not always logical and can have a disastrous effect on our quality of life, leading to anxiety, panic attacks and loss of confidence. A few sessions of Thought Field Therapy and Hypnotherapy can make a tremendous difference enabling you relax and enjoy life again. Often the fear is removed completely. At other times it is very considerably reduced enabling clients to do something which they may not have done for many years.

Fear of Public Speaking

See also information on fear of presenting and public speaking.

"I have to say it is miles better. Last week my [boss] asked me to stand in for him ar a meeting...High powered affair, long conference table, a scene reminiscent of the cabinet office. However I wasn't anywhere near as concerned as I would have been previously. I felt pretty relaxed, a few nerves as my turn approached but...thought positively and read out a couple of lengthy updates perfectly.

"So many thanks Liz, you really helped me."

And another client:

"Just a quick note to say...I DID IT!!!! I did a presentation to thirty plus a week or so ago, albeit with someone sharing my presentation and kicking things off. Then I did a presentation to a group of 11 non-converts yesterday. It was sitting down this time but I was completely on my own, using my own material. Thank you so much, you're brilliant."

Fear of the Tube/Underground

"Just thought you'd like to know that I used the Tube today - a bit scarey but I did it! Hurrah!"

Fear of Spiders

"I must admit I was a bit sceptical but after planting out my troughs and baskets the other week and having a great big spider scuttle out from underneath and right by my knees I didn't even flinch!! Now how did that happen to someone who would normally have felt physically sick and be running down the path in a hot sweat screaming her head off?!"

Fear of Dentists and Dental Treatment

"I wonder if you [know] how much you helped me with just that first session? Certainly the two sessions have helped immensely, probably cured me." For more information take a look at the case study on dental phobia.

Fear of Flying

This client had not flown for many years which meant they had been unable to visit close family members who live abroad. This was their experience after just a few sessions.

"Just got back yesterday and thought I'd give you an update on how I got on...On the first flight I got myself worked up but the tapping and collarbone breathing helped...On the flight to Hongkong I was a lot better just listening to [your] recording and concentrating on the stomach breathing and reading a good book. Journey back was pretty choppy but I breathed through it. My proudest achievement was the 12 hour flight back home which was VERY bumpy after we took off and for various times which I got throguh with deep breathing and watching a movie. I can't say I will ever be completely comfortable with flying but I have improved so much!!! So much so that [my husband] wants to...take us to new York!!!"

Another client enabled to enjoy their holiday:

"I wanted to call and let you know that the trip went very well. I was much, much calmer on the flights and [my wife] and I are convinced that it was down to the tools that you  provided me with.

"I wouldn't say that I wasn't nervous but I felt more in control than I ever have done approaching the flights. I also sat by the window for the first time, and spent the whole time looking out at the fantastic views...and looking back I really enjoyed it! Something that I never thought I would do!

"I don't think that I will ever look forward to flying but I strongly think that having the sessions with you made a difference and would recommend it to anyone."
