Ive had this phobia since around the age of 16 and im now 32. I have had it bad for the last few years and it had very much stopped my life.
I started seeing a therepist in November and have just finished my treatment. I had analitical hypnosis/regression therepy. I wanted to share with you all how i have benefited from this so far as i would recomend this to anyone like me. I have tried other theripists in my area before and it has never had any effect. I think i knew from the start that this guy was going to be worth the money. I visited him every week for around 10 weeks and she specialises in our phobia so he was already full of knowledge about it which i think made a big difference. after 10 weeks i dont think im cured yet as i think ive still got to work on the behaviours i have learnt over the years but i would say that im 100% better than i was. At work this week 3 people were ill with bugs but i managed to stay at work and not freak out, which i would never have done before!!!!!! I can feel a masdsive change in me and even think i might have a drink to celebrate at the weekend!!!!!! ( again i would never do before) Like i said i know ive still got a way ahead of me but i just wanted to share with you that i feel that there are ways of getting this under control and i think it has alot to do with the theripist you choose to work with. I hope this helps someone. |

You sound like a living proof that this is working and that's great!
There are definitely some internal changes going on by your accounts - i bet that sure feels good and rewarding to feel. I'm looking forward to hearing more about your success and progress along this journey. Take care!
