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.
