Professional hypnosis treatments for hylophobia, the fear of trees, at the Wombourne clinic in Wolverhampton

WARNING – THIS PAGE CONTAINS A PICTURE DEPICTING TREES

Hylophobia is the Fear of Trees or woods in general and may be related to the idea of ‘limited visibility’ due to the dense nature of forests and woods.

All phobias are, by definition, irrational, but regardless of what the feared object or circumstances are, phobic beliefs also produce real feelings of Anxiety and Stress for the sufferer, and Hylophobia is no different in this sense.

Whilst the feared object or situation may seem, to other people, to be ‘ridiculous’ or ‘silly’, the person who suffers from Hylophobia 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 Trees 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 Hylophobia 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 Hylophobia 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!

Hylophobia Symptoms

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

• Panic attacks
• Inability to Relax
• Feelings of dizziness
• Prickly sensations
• Palpitations
• Aches & pains
• Dry and Sticky mouth
• Sweating Excessively
• Breathlessness

Hylophobia 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 Trees 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, Hylophobia 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 Trees will find a course of Psychological Therapy helps enormously.

Hylophobia Treatment

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

Hypnotherapy for Hylophobia

Hypnotherapy for a fear of trees 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 Hylophobia.

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