Phobias are simply put, an unconscious "automatic" response to some stimulus. 

Scientists say that only two fears are inborn - fear of falling and fear of loud noises. All the rest are learned!

Your conscious mind can keep track of only so many things at one time. Your unconscious mind is responsible for keeping automatic physical and emotional responses working. That includes fear, panic and anxiety. When you are hungry and you smell something wonderfully tasty your unconscious starts you salivating and motivates you. When you accidentally put your hand on something hot your unconscious immediately jerks your hand away - you don't have to remember to do it.

The unconscious is a great learning machine. As you go through life you have experiences and learn from them. If you have a frightening experience with a dog, it may learn to create those same feelings of fright whenever you see a similar dog (or even think of one). It may, even as the result of one event, become an automatic response. This is called a phobic response. Since the unconscious is responsible for these automatic responses, you may or may not be aware of the original incident - it may be out of consciousness - all you get to re-experience is the phobia - feelings of dread, anxiety, fear and panic!

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy can help you to de-program those phobias. In essence, your unconscious mind re-learns how to react appropriately. Perhaps that's with caution. Perhaps indifference. Perhaps with a smile. It can be done comfortably and safely. Get control of your brain back from your phobia!
