Not surprisingly, the fear of dogs, cats (and other animals we may come in contact with on a daily basis) is very common. In part, this may be because of the sharp increase in the ownership of (apparently) domesticated animals since the end of the second world war.

When does the fear start?
More often than not, the fear starts in childhood, and is usually precipitated by an event involving an animal that is mis-perceived by the young, inexperienced child. Regrettably, the fear can also be caused by a traumatic encounter with an animal.

When should we seek help?
If treated as soon as possible, the fear can be safely eliminated. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case, and the parents, in the mistaken belief they are helping their child, may go to extraordinary lengths to ‘protect’ him or her by ensuring there is little or no exposure to the type of animal most feared by the child.

The long-term consequences
Although not an ideal situation, the protected child can exist comfortably and keep the fear suppressed for many years. However, as they get older, the fear will often re-surface, even later on in adult years. This may happen because of an unexpected encounter with the type of animal they have spent years avoiding, or it may happen because of a completely different, fear-based event.

Children will readily admit to their fears, but adults learn to hide theirs, so the idea of exposing their fear by seeking help may be challenging for some. If the fear isn’t addressed, it can lead to increased levels of anxiety and even panic attacks.

In my practice, I have worked with many people of all ages, starting from 5 or 6 years of age, through to some in their late sixties, who were fearful of contact with cats, dogs, birds, mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, bats, goldfish (yes, really!) and, perhaps less surprisingly, spiders and snakes.

How can the fear be eliminated?
In my view, it’s always important to discover the root cause of the problem and to work on that. Hypnosis gives us access to the awesome subconscious mind, which is also our permanent memory and stores everything that happens in our life.

I’ve listened as clients were able to recount, and then change, the event that became the seed of their fear. This might have been something as small as a baby in a pram or pushchair being terrified by what seemed to be a huge dog sticking its head in or jumping up. Or it could be seeing a pair of cat’s eyes glowing yellow in the dark. Sometimes, becoming aware of someone else’s fear of an animal, and their responses, can be the trigger. Other times, it might have been finding a dead spider inside a folded deckchair, or – more unfortunately – being attacked or badly-bitten by an animal. In a small child, this will certainly also cause a fear of dying.

How long does it take?
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. With children, if the fear is addressed as soon as possible after the known event that caused it in the first place, it can usually be blown away in a couple of sessions of hypnotherapy or energy therapy. With adults, it may take a little longer but nevertheless with the same successful outcome.

Seek help with Hypnotherapy
So if you, or anyone you know, are unreasonably fearful of dogs, cats or any other animal, don’t delay but seek help from an experienced Hypnotherapist or Energy Therapist as
quickly as possible.
