Phobias of Dogs, Cats and Other Animals – Hypnotherapy Helps
Posted By: Hypnotherapist on March 23, 2011 at 10:37 amA common phobia because of our probable daily contact with them is a learnt fears of dogs, cats and other animals. Since the end of the second world war ownership of domectic enables has increased dramatically.
When does the fear begin?
Commonly the fear or experience that led to the fear begins in childhood. The fear usually happens following some event with an animal which is misinterpretted by the child. This can even happen through watching a TV programme that involved a scene with an animal. Unfortunately, the fear can also be caused by an obvious traumatic encounter with an animal such as being growled at or bitten.
When should someone seek help with a fear?
The sooner the better really. As they say ” a stitch in time saves nine”. If managed quickly, the fear can be safely released. Sadly this is not always possible. A parent, may mistakenly believe that they help their child’s fear, by going to great lengths to avoid future encounters wuth animals. UInfotunately, this understandble tactic does not alleviate the fear and may even increase it.
What are the long-term results
Whilst avoidance of animals allows the child lead comfortable existance, the suppression of the fear can lead to problems in later life. As the child grows up, the fear will often re-surface, even later on in adult years. It will be imposssible to predict that there will never be animal-free experiences forever. An unexpected encounter with the type of animal they have spent years avoiding, can lead to another traumatic reinforcement of the fear.
Children are usually able to admit to fears whereas adults learn to hide theirs. The notion of exposing their fear by seeking help may be challenging for some people. Yet if the fear isn’t dealt with, it can lead to increased levels of anxiety and even panic attacks.
In my hypnotherapy practice, I have helped many people of different ages, children to retirees, who dreaded contact with birds, dogs, cats, mice, guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, bats, even goldfish and, perhaps more commonly, snakes and spieders.
How can the fear be resolved?
In my experience, it’s always vital to find the initial cause of the fear and to work on that. Hypnosis gives us access to the amazing subconscious mind, which is also our permanent memory and stores everything that happens in our life.
I’ve listened as clients were able to recall, and then transform, the event that became the seed of their fear. This might have been something as small as a baby in a pushchair or pram being scared by what seemed to be a huge dog sticking its head in or barking. Or it could be seeing a pair of cat’s eyes glowing yellow in the dark. Occasionally becomeing aware of mother’s or father’s own fera of animals, can transmit a similar fear to the child. Other times, it might have been finding a dead spider inside a folded deckchair, or – more unfortunately – being badly-bitten or snarled or hissed at by an animal. In a small child, who is still learning about the world and how to survive in it, this will certainly also cause a fear of dying.
How long does it take to lose the fear or phobia?
Whether the fear of animals – any animal – is a childhood or an adult fear, it’s important to know that it can be resolved, and generally very quickly. Even London Zoo has it’s own phobia programme for helping anyone with phobias or fears especially of spiders.
If the child’s fear is addressed as soon as possible after the scary experience, it can usually be resolved in two hypnotherapy sessions. With adults, because of the years that have gone by and possible other compounding fearful experiences, although it might take a little longer, you can expect the same successful resolution.
Fears and Phobia help with Hypnotherapy
If you have a long-standing or new phobia, or anyone you know, have an unhealthy fear of cats, dogs, birds or other animal, I am happy to help you. Indeed any experienced hypnotherapist should be able to help you release your fear or phobia.

educate yourself! the more you learn about animals’ behavior, the less you’ll be afraid. there’s a reason why we fear what we don’t know. i’m afraid to do things an expert in elctricity won’t be afraid to do, because if i attempt it i might end up dead.
once you understand the animals and knows what is a dangerous situation and what isn’t, you won’t be afraid anymore.
that’s a very practicle advise to give to your clients.
