Fear of Flying
Aliesha O’Brien “Best flight ever Cathy! Didn’t even need to hold my partner’s hand or listen to the hypnosis on take-off. Thank you, thank you. I will be taking a flight to another island (my partner’s island) which I have never had the confidence to do before’
Lucy not her real name teacher “”I came to see Cathy because for 2 years now I have a fear of being in enclosed spaces and the last time I flew I absolutely panicked sweating profusely terrified because I had no way of escaping quickly. I wanted to go to Queensland for the school holidays and had to fly. Cathy through the hypnosis taught me how to calm myself down and how to take myself mentally to that calm place so I could then minimise any fears physical reactions I usually experience. She gave me a recording to listen to which reinforced these suggestions to listen to for 30 days. She also reframed the nervousness I felt about the flying into feelings of excitement and got me to think about how I would prepare one of my young students for a first-time flight, I am a teacher. She also taught me how to present and be mindful of my surroundings whilst on the plane – to be curious and take note of everything and everybody, therefore distracting me. She also showed me a free app that teaches you to deep breathe – another method of calming down mentally and physically, Cathy is very first-time easy to talk to and we had a few laughs as well. Anyhow I took my flight to Queensland being thoroughly prepared with all the strategies I learned at the subconscious and conscious level and experienced no distress”
FEAR OF HEIGHTS
Terry Geelong “Cathy is a professional in every way, Her Endeavor to source an acceptable out come and try different methods is first rate. For many years my Heights phobia has been of great concern and caused many problems, but with Cathy’s expertise and methods have proven to be a real-life changer for myself. I personally highly recommend Cathy for anyone trying Hypnosis. “
Sylvia June 2014. “Hello Cathy I just have to tell you I took my anxiety in the palm of my hand and threw it to oblivion and very successfully walked the bridge on my own both ways after our meeting today. I am truly grateful to you for showing me that I have all that I need at my disposal to lead a stress-free life” Sylvia June 2014.
FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING
Phil B ” My mouth would go dry and my hands would start shaking it was so embarrassing and my heart felt like it was going to burst through my chest- I hated the weekly meetings and dreaded them so great was my fear of speaking publicly. I had no choice as it was part of my job to present to my manager every week. Cathy got to the stress-free real fear I had which was being judged something I was conscious of all my life especially when I was laughed at in primary school when I gave a talk on frogs. She taught me how to get myself into a state of deep relaxation and then via suggestions to play a movie from start to finish of the presentation going well and repeat that movie and attach the good feelings. She also reminded me of how I love to write up my presentations which I do and how much people enjoy them every week as they always clap and give me great feedback. She through suggestions and visualisations helped me shrink that memory right down of that terrible time in my childhood and reminded me that I was now an adult and I was in charge of how I felt and acted. I had to listen to the recording she gave me for 31 days to reinforce the suggestions. I now look forward to my presentations”
FEAR OF NEEDLES (THE DENTIST)
Dentophobia, or fear of dentists, is a common phobia among people of all ages. It is also related trypanophobia, or fear of needles.
Cathy Barrow ” When I was a little girl aged 5 I was in the line up to recieve the annual immunisation for my age group. I ran away from the queue for immunisation. I was terrified of the needle and how much I thought it would hurt. My fear would have happened to me from a prior experience with a needle. No doubt at the time no adult had prepared for what was to happen. Or used reassuring language soothing techniques. Because I ran away I had to line up with the babies in the town hall and added embarrasment to the fear! So then the fear stuck and that’s what usually happens to most people. The fear gets stuck in the brain into adulthood and all thier lives.”Dentophobia may be mild or severe, and can eventually lead to devastating consequencAre you fearful of going to the dentist for a filling or simply a checkup? You are not alone and think about the poor dentist. No one is usually happy to see him.Gum disease – Untreated tooth decay can lead to gum or periodontal disease. … If you don’t regularly see the dentist, health problems, such as hypertension, diabetes, oral cancers, kidney failure and heart disease may not be discovered until they’re in a more advanced stage
FEAR OF BIRDS & MOTHS
Jordan. My client Jordan was stuck in her car at Bunnings for over 2 hours as a moth was in her car. She had developed a phobia from one instance of a moth flying into her face as a little girl. I had 2 clients who were scared of birds flying or anywhere near them. This particular client could not sit outside a café if there were any birds there. Can you imagine how that impacted her life negatively? Most of the time not always the fear has come from one event and the trouble is that from the one event their brain has defaulted to that fear over and over again whenever they experienced the fear or phobia in the future. So using the process of hypnosis and helpful suggestions- reprogram the brain to dissolve the phobia.
