Carcinophobia And Hypnosis
Carcinophobia, the fear of cancer, is one of the most common phobias
, and it isn't hard to see why. No one wants to suffer from cancer or see a loved one develop it. Although it is normal to want to avoid getting sick, people with cancer phobia experience an irrational amount of fear that sometimes rules their lives. Overcoming carcinophobia used to take weeks or even months, but with better knowledge of the phobia and treatment techniques, this is no longer the case. Proven hypnotherapy techniques can help people reclaim their health and well-being.
It isn't hard to see what might lead to a fear of cancer. This phobia is associated with a fear of death, illness, and loss of control. Very often, people feel traumatized by a friend's battle with disease. People who have lost a family member to cancer, or are at risk of developing the disease, live in fear of the moment when they are diagnosed with cancer.
The anxiety created by the fear of cancer can lead people to make rash life decisions. Many people constantly visit doctors to make sure they aren't sick, while others avoid the doctor completely, afraid of being diagnosed with a disease. Phobia sufferers will become depressed if they have the smallest signs of illness, such as a headache, and wonder if it's a sign of cancer. They will often do whatever it takes to avoid becoming sick.
People experiencing carcinophobia often feel like they have a lot to fear. Carcinophobia a persistent fear that can affect both genders. A person might worry, "Who will take care of the family if I get sick?" or dwell on other important concerns. The phobia of cancer can be terribly sad for sufferers and their families.
Many people can cope with their phobias by simply avoiding the object of their fear. Arachnophobia sufferers can often cope by staying away from spiders, and people with claustrophobia take care to avoid tight, confined spaces such as elevators. Carcinophobia, however, is a different story. The fear is primarily triggered by an individual's innermost ideas and fears. It can be debilitating for a person to suffer from a fear they just can't escape. This leaves most people with carcinophobia in a constant state of panic.
There are many different phobia treatments available. Frequently used ones involve counseling and anti-anxiety drugs. Talk therapy can produce lasting results, but it may take a long time, up to many years for some people. Prescription drugs work to lessen an individual's anxiety, but it does not eliminate the root causes of a phobia. Hypnosis is an option that produces lasting results in a shorter period of time than other types of treatment. Hypnosis is a leading choice because it's a non-invasive, safe, and effective type of treatment.
Hypnotherapy combines stress-relief techniques with fear treatment to rapidly cure a phobia. A well-designed program will start with relaxation therapy to help relieve the emotional stress caused by fear. Once a person feels calm and relaxed, hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques work to guide the unconscious mind into adopting a phobia-free thought process.
Conventional hypnosis uses direct, post-hypnotic suggestions to cure a fear. This method is highly successful when an individual is receptive to it. Unfortunately, these older techniques often prove unsuccessful because people have a tendency post-hypnotic suggestions and unconsciously reject direct commands.
A severe phobia such as cancer phobia calls for a more sophisticated type of treatment such as Ericksonian hypnosis. This type of hypnosis works best for those who tend to be logical, and who are suffering from chronic fear and anxiety. It uses indirect suggestions in conversations, stories, and metaphors to help them overcome their fears.
NLP technology doesn't rely on suggestion at all, so it can work for everybody. In simple terms, NLP offers techniques to train the unconscious mind to use the same thought patterns that are creating a symptom or fear, to eliminate it.
Because both hypnosis and NLP work at the unconscious level, clients report feeling more in control and comfortable using these therapies.
With Conventional Hypnosis, programs generally need to be phobia specific. One benefit of a properly designed Ericksonian hypnosis therapy and NLP program is that they are suitable for use on any phobia, or even multiple phobias. This can be a great benefit to some cancer phobia sufferers who also struggle with other anxiety disorders, such as general hypochondria or germophobia.
Carcinophobia is a significant phobia, but one that can be tackled by suitable hypnosis techniques. NLP techniques have become a popular fear treatment because of their effectiveness at addressing the underlying cause of all fears and not just the signs and symptoms. Revolutionary Ericksonian hypnotherapy and NLP techniques can help even the most severe phobia sufferers defeat their fears once and for all.
