Some phobias are so acute that it will keep the person from seeking help from a doctor or the dentist. Agoraphobia could well be the reason why you can not venture out of the house to seek medical help from your doctor. Odontophobia (fear of the dentist) may well stop you visiting the dentist for treatment you may well urgently require for your teeth!
There are thousands of other phobic reactions, like fear of the dentist, needles, blood, heights, birds, darkness, hospitals, snakes, stairs, and even people; the above are just a brief example.

The main difference between the two is the severity of the emotional reaction. To give an example, a strong dislike of spiders is a fear that the person may feel very uncomfortable around spiders, and not want to go near one. A phobia though, is an irrational, uncontrollable, intense fear that can produce a physical reaction.

It can also occur in a social environment; the thought of going to a friends wedding, or a birthday party, ie the fear of meeting people.
Although some anxieties and fear can be dealt with using suggestion therapy, the best way to deal with more deep-rooted anxieties and phobias is to use analytical hypnotherapy (hypno-analysis).
Hypno-analysis works on the principle of cause and effect, so it allows the bottled up emotion to be released so the effect (the phobia) disappears.
Don't let phobias, fear or anxiety ruin your life, regain control!
