Clearing Phobia’s – BBC The One Show

I put on the TV tonight just in time to catch The One Show on BBC1 and they were doing a feature on viewer Mike Hughes who wrote to them back in April with a Dental Phobia. When he was as a boy he had the traumatic experience of having several teeth out without anaesthetic. As a result he has had a severe phobia of dentists ever since and had not been for over 27 years.

Mile was introduced to Dr Tim Newton by the One Show team who was described as an expert in dental psychology. Tim then worked with Mike over 5 months using a process called gradual exposure to get him to the point where he received his first filling and was described as on his way to overcoming his phobia.

The feature highlighted a common problem for many people in the UK and around the world and the process Dr Tim Newton took him through was clearly effective. What surprised me was that the method chosen to help Mike, which was described as new, took 5 months to complete. I believe this is a long time as there are a number of methods that have been around for many years which have been demonstrated as effective in enabling someone to clear their phobia which work in less than an hour.

Example include the NLP Fast Phobia Cure, Time Line Therapy® and EFT so if you have a phobia that gets in the way of you living life to the full and that you would like to clear check out these options as well!
