RESOLVE YOUR PHOBIA
At Excellent Rapport our ‘core’ belief is that nothing is impossible for you and for you to achieve – all you need to do is persist in your pursuits of what you want and need for your life to be fulfilled. |
|
At Excellent Rapport our Goal is to persist in the pursuit of your Goal.
At Excellent Rapport our ‘core’ beliefs are in your inner strengths and resources and in your own inner inability to access those needed inner resources and inner strengths.
Our pursuit at Excellent Rapport for the past twenty four years – (it is now 2006) – has been the relentless searching for the extraordinary Excellence within human beings – and the study of how – individuals achieve their own personal Excellence – no matter their chosen field.
Our premise is that if just one human being can achieve X or Y or Z Goals – no matter what conflicts or trauma they may have survived – then every human – can achieve the same or similar success.
Success in anything of course depends entirely on what exactly any unique individual chooses to achieve for themselves!
It is probable that you are reading this page – because you have a problem with a phobia – or several phobias?
A phobia can range from causing you vexation – to causing you serious conflicts which affect the quality of your life – and sometimes negatively affects the life of those close to you.
A number of phobias we cannot logically explain! For example in the UK – it is illogically to have an Arachnophobia – (phobia of spiders) – as spiders in the UK cannot cause us physical harm. Whereas in Australia – we need to have our instinctive fear of spiders – lest we come across the types that can kill us.
There is a difference between fear – which is INSTINCTIVE to our brain – and is a protective mechanism – to a phobia which is a learnt psychological and emotional response.
When people often ask us “What” we do at Excellent Rapport to assist you to achieve your Goal – our response will be that ‘What’ we do is as much about our attitude towards you as our Therapeutic Methodology and Technology. Our Attitude is a sense of concern for your difficulty and an equal sense of focused curiosity about who you are – what you can do – and specifically exactly how you learnt your phobic response. We are in awe of your ability to have learnt this response – and then to be able to accurately and continuously replicate the same response over and over again. This may seem somewhat bizarre to you that we are praising your ability to learn something so complex – when this problem causes you such difficulties in life? – We are speaking to you in this way – because there is one thing that we already know about you – and that is your brain and mind has a phenomenal ability to learn.
We will be using this phenomenal ability you have to learn – by first discovering how you learnt to have this response – and once we know how you do it – we can utilize your ability to learn a different response that will be appropriate and comfortable for you.
Behaviours do not as such have a meaning – Behaviours nearly always have – or had a purpose!
What do we mean by this?
Sometimes it can be tricky to separate meaning from purpose – but let us consider a simple example: A client of mine was suffering with a phobia of open spaces. Her phobic response had become so debilitating that she could got leave the house.
This lady had been puzzling and considering that the reason she had this problem must mean that at sometime – she had maybe been lost, perhaps as a child, with no one to help her find her way. She thought her problem was because when she was at school she had to walk home across an open field – and she had heard stories that a someone had been attacked in that very same field. So, her problem must mean that she is afraid of attack.
Maybe both these scenarios were true – but what is most important to resolving the difficulty today is to discover the purpose.
We discovered that the purpose that her problem was serving – was sweet and simple – This lady was lonely – as long as she was ‘bound’ to her house – people rallied round, came visiting regularly, came and did her grocery shopping and so on.
So, of course what we needed to do – before we resolved the phobic response – was to access and create different – life fulfilling behaviours that ensured she would have the company of others that she wanted and needed, in a way that would be appropriate for her.
FREE ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION
Your first session will be an ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION. This session is FREE of charge. You will be able to ask me all the questions you need and also inform me of anything that you think and feel is important and relevant. I will establish with you what you need and want to achieve from your Therapy and structure for you a treatment plan.
However if I think that working with me does not seem to be the most effective method of resolving your difficulties, symptoms or problem I will be able to talk to you about other ways you can receive help that could be more beneficial.
If you have an idea of what you would like to achieve from working with me please go to appointments to book your ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION
If you need further advice or information about phobias or any other problem we will be delighted to hear from you. You will find us friendly, professional and we will treat anything you may say or ask of us in the strictest confidence.

Your ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION will be booked for you at a time and date that is convenient for you and will last for approximately one hour. This session is Free – and can be done by phone, SKYPE, or face to face at my consulting rooms in Keswick, Cumbria, in the English Lake District. If travelling to Keswick for a weekly session is unwieldy for you I can often conduct Therapy Sessions by phone. However face to face Work, though not always essential, can often be much better, in that for example, by phone you may tell me that you are comfortable and relaxed, and face to face I can observe from you breathing, heart rate and so on that in fact you are uncomfortable.
Also go to Therapeutic Breaks in The Heart of the English Lake district for information on our accommodation – which is a sweet cosy cottage, which sleep four people right on the banks of the beautiful River Greta.
Many clients who have worked with me have often said: “I have several of the symptoms on your list – where do I begin?” during your ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION I will help you to discover where you need to begin, and often several symptoms or problems will be resolved and healed during the course of therapy.
Whatever your problem I can help!
