Kinetophobia is the fear of Movement and it may also be the fear of riding in a car (amaxophobia).

The symptoms of Kinetophobia as well as many other specific phobias are as follows:

• Feelings of panic, dread or terror
• A recognition that the fear goes beyond normal boundaries and is generally disproportionate
• Kinetophobia reactions are generally automatic and uncontrollable and can seem to take over a person’s thoughts
• Rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, trembling, tightening of the stomach muscles and an overwhelming desire to escape the situation—all the physical reactions associated with extreme fear or danger
• Extreme measures taken to avoid the feared object or situation (avoidance behaviours)

Kinetophobia may be the result of negative emotional experiences that may be either directly or indirectly linked to the object or situational fear and has usually become “normalised” over a period of time, in other words accepted as a limiting factor in that person’s life – “I’ve learnt to live with it.”

In just as many cases, Kinetophobia may have become worse over time as more and more sophisticated avoidance tactics and routines are developed.

The great news is that the vast majority of people suffering Kinetophobia do NOT have to suffer without hope.

Almost every phobia responds well to psychological interventions.

Hypnotherapy for Kinetophobia

Hypnotherapy for a fear of movement 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 Kinetophobia.

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

Taking anywhere between 6 and 10 sessions, hypnotherapy for Kinetophobia involves understanding how your earlier experiences, core beliefs and values have played a role in forming and reinforcing your phobia.

Hypnosis itself is very relaxing and allows you to explore memories and experiences related to Kinetophobia that you might want to re-think in order to produce more positive responses and outcomes.

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

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

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.
