Hypnotherapy & NLP To Cure Your Fear Of Insects (Bugs)

Whether you call these creatures ‘bugs’ or ‘insects’ if you have a true phobia of them then it can be very debilitating indeed.  Some people are quite OK or neutral about the vast majority of insects but are quite specifically terrified of one type. The most common bug phobias are spiders, moths, worms, cockroaches, bees and wasps. 

Occasionally, however, someone will have developed a terror of more than one category, and in a few rare cases they are scared of all of them.

Where Does This Fear Come From?

It doesn’t matter where it comes from, it really doesn’t.  It’s certain that you developed your phobia at a younger age by being very scared at a time when you were thinking about or looking at an insect, perhaps on multiple occasions. Perhaps a parent, themselves phobic of bugs, screamed every time they saw one, perhaps one made you jump, perhaps you saw one too many horror films….  It doesn’t matter

You don’t have to understand your phobia; you just need the fear to be reconditioned. Phobias act in the neurology like instant mental knee-jerk reactions to a stimulus, whether actually seen or simply imagined.  Sometimes people with this particular problem are virtually housebound, fearing to change TV channels just in case a nature program is on….

How Are You Going To Cure My Insect Phobia?

Whether you have a specific fear, such as a phobia of cockroaches, or a more general fear of all creepy crawly things, the techniques that have been proven to be amongst the most effective, over years and years and for thousands of clients, are those provided by the fields of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and hypnotherapy. We will work to directly (and for you, comfortably) repattern the response (and we don’t use props, of films, or books). Typically, even if you are scared of all insects, we expect to be able to resolve the issue in one or two sessions.
