Your sub-conscious mind.

It can be a very powerful friend or deadly enemy.

Phobias are often caused by something lodged deep within your sub-conscious mind. That could be one reason why your conscious mind, the rational you, cannot control your reactions. Afterall your sub-conscious mind controls the condition and function of your body.

Think about it when you are asleep what takes care of all the necessary functions like breathing?

Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis to overcome undesirable mental states or habits. Used by Freud, this type of therapy has been shown to be successful in treating phobias.

Hypnosis is an altered state of consciouness in which we are deeply relaxed and therefore highly suggestable. A hypnotherapist will use their hypnotic skills to help you reprogramme the way you think.

There are two possible ways to use hypnosis to help you overcome your phobia:

  1. Work with an hypnotherapist to help you overcome your fears before dental treatment.

  2. Use a dentist that offers hypnosis as a service.

Be sure to use a reputable hynotherapist if you do decide to use this method of overcoming your phobia
