How to Eradicate Your Phobias
I am sure that we all have some form of phobia, I know I do. Well I say I do when
in fact I should be saying I had. This is because I have worked hard at
eradicating
the phobia from my life. My philosophy has always been to go for gold, silver is just not good
enough.
As you can see I do
not accept second best and therefore do not accept any form of phobia from disrupting my life. So how did I
combat my fears and phobias? Please continue reading to find out.
I basically had a phobia of speaking! It was not your everyday talking, more
to do with speaking within a large group of people. This phobia possibly came about due to the fact
that I had a stutter which had developed in childhood.
The phobia really started to take a hold of my life when I was in my early
twenties. There were voices in my head advising me not to socialise with my friends and to basically
stay at home where I would be safe. They wanted me to live like a hermit.
I have to admit that for a while I did let these demons get the better of me,
I then decided that enough was enough and that it was time to fight back.
I started to work hard on
attempting to find a cure for stuttering and this involved trying to deal with my overall anxieties.
When searching for information I read that self
confidence could be of help. How could any form of alternative
treatment help, I thought to myself?
Well the answer basically lies from
the fact that you are enabling your body some relaxation time, a reward instead of the constant
worrying that I would normally inflict on it.
I decided to attend a reflexology
treatment and was quite amazed at the results, they were superb. I am still attending different forms
of complementary therapy today including aromatherapy and acupuncture.
I am also pleased to report that I have now been fluent for the last twelve
years and now run a speech centre called The How to Stop Stuttering Centre in Birmingham,
UK.
