Phobia and Fear Therapy in Swindon and Online.
A Phobia is an irrational fear of something that is unlikely to cause harm. The word itself comes from the Greek word “Phobos,” which means “fear” or “horror.”
When someone has a phobia, they experience intense fear of a certain object or situation. Phobias are different from regular fears because they cause significant distress, possibly interfering with life at home, work, or school. Its hard to understand a phobia unless you suffer with one The phrase “don’t be silly” or “don’t worry about it” are heard all too commonly. But for those experiencing the Phobia, it is far from a silly reaction.
Phobias and the effects of trauma are made far worse when you have high levels of anxiety. The first part of the recovery process, is to reduce anxiety to a manageable level. This allows us to gain intellectual control over our thoughts.
Once this has been managed, we then tackle the phobia or traumatic memory. I use a variety of different methods depending on the specific issue that you may have, all of which are methods developed and adapted from Neuro Lingustic Programming research or NLP as it is known.
Everything is done in a relaxed environment and at no point will you have to physically be exposed to your fear. The final session reinforces the process and enables you to visualise your preferred outcome when you are faced with your old phobia or fear.

The Fast Phobia Method or Rewind
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) offers powerful, evidence-informed techniques for transforming unhelpful thought patterns, reducing anxiety, and resolving long-standing emotional distress. At Best Mind Therapy, NLP is used to help clients gain control over intrusive thoughts, negative beliefs, and overwhelming emotional responses. One of the most effective NLP methods for trauma, PTSD and OCD is the Rewind Technique, a gentle yet highly effective approach that allows the brain to safely process traumatic memories without re-experiencing the distress. By guiding the mind into a relaxed, dissociated state, the Rewind Technique helps “unhook” emotional triggers, allowing traumatic events to be re-filed in the subconscious so they lose their power. This process offers fast, lasting relief from flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, panic responses and compulsive behavioural patterns, helping clients feel calmer, more in control and able to move forward with confidence.
There are far too many Phobias to list. If there is something that you feel is causing you anxiety, then no matter how small you may believe it to be, it is important to me. Call me today on 07359 071210 to book a consultation to remove those irrational fears.
