WARNING – THIS PAGE CONTAINS A PICTURE DEPICTING A DEMONIC-TYPE IMAGE

Demonophobia is the Fear of Demons or the ‘Devil’ and is often associated with a strictly religious up-bringing in which the idea of demons and spirits is prevalent.

It is often encountered within the schizophrenic spectrum, particularly when paranoia is indicated.

All phobias are inherently irrational, yet the fears associated with them lead to genuine experiences of anxiety and stress for those affected, and demonophobia is no exception to this rule.

Whilst the feared object or situation may seem, to other people, to be ‘ridiculous’ or ‘silly’, the person who suffers from Demonophobia knows only too well that the Anxiety that they experience is real and is having a detrimental impact on their life.

We completely understand this here at Wolverhampton Hypnotherapy and will treat you and your fear of Demons seriously.

For many years Psychologists have been aware that our minds are more than capable of producing a real biological reaction to any given situation and so as long as the Demonophobia sufferer “believes” that the object or situation they fear represents danger to them, then they will experience real fear.

The majority of people who do suffer with Demonophobia recognise that their fear is “irrational” but continue to experience it regardless of this knowledge. This is why simply being told to “snap out of it” rarely produces a solution!

Demonophobia Symptoms

The symptoms of Demonophobia are very similar to other specific phobias and will often include:

• Excessive worrying about ‘demons’ and other malevolent ‘spirits’
• Panic attacks
• Inability to Relax
• Feelings of dizziness
• Prickly sensations
• Palpitations
• Aches & pains
• Dry and Sticky mouth
• Sweating Excessively
• Breathlessness

Demonophobia Symptoms are generally automatic and uncontrollable and can seem to take over a person’s thoughts which frequently leads to extreme measures being taken to avoid the feared object or situation, what are known as “Safety” or “Avoidance” behaviours.

Unfortunately, for the sufferer, these safety behaviours have a paradoxical effect and actually reinforce the phobia rather than solve it!

The fear of Demons may be the result of negative emotional experiences that can be either directly or indirectly linked to the object or situational fear.

Over time, the symptoms often become “normalised” and “accepted” as limiting beliefs in that person’s life – “I’ve learnt to live with it.”

In just as many cases, Demonophobia may have become worse over time as more and more sophisticated safety behaviours and routines are developed.

The good news is that the vast majority of people who suffer from the fear of Demons will find a course of Psychological Therapy helps enormously.

Demonophobia Treatment

Wolverhampton Hypnotherapy is able to offer a wide range of different psychological treatments for Demonophobia including both ‘cognitive’ (thinking) based talking therapies as well as therapies based on ’emotional’ content such as Hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy for Demonophobia

Hypnotherapy for a fear of demons can be particularly effective for helping people to locate and then use many of their own inner strengths and resources to combat the problems associated with Demonophobia.

In this respect, hypnotherapy helps a person to ‘help themselves’ in very much the same way as other therapeutic approaches.

Hypnotherapy for Young Adults

Research into 18–25-year-olds seeking therapy found that there are a number of barriers to help-seeking including difficulty identifying the problem, concerns about stigma, preference for self-reliance and uncertainty about where to go for help.

At Wolverhampton Hypnotherapy we have developed two distinct pathways to address these specific limitations, firstly a page dedicated to hypnotherapy for young adults and secondly, a page outlining how parents can help their son or daughter access therapy without taking-over or imposing the need for therapy upon them.

Initial Consultations for Demonophobia

Joan offers all prospective clients a low cost (£30) initial consultation to discuss your mental health concerns.

During this 50 minute consultation Joan will discuss the various options that are available to you and make a considered recommendation based on your individual personal circumstances.

At Wolverhampton Hypnotherapy we understand the importance of the therapeutic relationship and so place a great emphasis on being able to meet PRIOR to agreeing any kind of help.

Our policy is to help people make a fully balanced & considered decision about undertaking therapy with us, including both the financial, work-load and personal implications.
