Learning to manage your phobias and fears

We all have them, although some are more pronounced than others....fears and in some cases phobias!  They are difficult to manage at times and can be really disruptive, not to mention harmful.  For example I met a friend last week and he was telling me that he had to go to the dentist because of some long-term problems he was having with some teeth.  Now I have known my friend's fear of the dentist for many years.  This deep rooted fear is more complex because of a parallel fear of needles.  My friend decided that enough was enough so asked me to work with him so that he can go to the dentist for treatment.

A number of dentists practice, or have access to, clinical hypnosis to support patients who have a fear of attending the dentist for what ever reason. If you experience the same fears as my friend you might want to checkout which dentists offer this service.  Hey, don't take my word for it, check it out yourselves.
