Defining the fear of ghosts – The fear of ghosts also known as Phasmosphobia or spectrphobia can be defined as an abnormal, constant and often debilitating fear of ghosts. The phobia sufferer experiences undue anxiety and stress while in dark and secluded spaces such as empty houses or forests. He or she also realizes that the fear is ungrounded and generally irrational. The fear often originates from age-old cultural beliefs and traditions that the majority of ghosts are malignant, benignant and mischievous towards human beings.
What is the cause of fear?- The fear is very deeply rooted in our being including our genetic make-up, stemming mainly from the natural fear of the Paranormal or unknown.
Symptoms- Full blown anxiety attacks, palpitations, sweating, dry mouth, shaking, breathlessness and inability to think clearly.
Treatment options- Hypnotherapy is a very common, safe and effective treatment where the subconscious mind is tapped into and re-programmed. Energy Psychology is quick, easy and long-lasting treatment for any fear or phobia. The treatment is based on age-old acupunctural techniques, the only difference lies in that no needles are used during the procedure. Nero-Linguistic Programming is study and practice of reality creation where your ideas and thoughts that create a certain reality are re-programmed.
Face fear- Obviously the best way to overcome your fear is to face it head on. Once you have been confronted with the thing that scars you most in life you will realize that it’s not so scary and terribly debilitating as you thought it would be. Visit a haunted mansion or maybe a grave yard with a couple of friends who will support you. Take small steps at a time. First walk along the parameter of the haunted venue and when you are ready-enter the haunted area. The more comfortable you are, the quicker the fear will disappear.
