Phobias
May 2006
I am looking for a female therapist/hypnotherapist/healer or
specialist of some kind, preferably in Oakland/Alameda or SF,
who can help me with my driving phobia. I have looked for
information in the archives but could not find anything.
Thanks.

I can imagine that your driving phobia is quite distressing. While you may have
suffered with this for a long time, there is definitely help that's possible.
Many people find that EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is
a fast, efficient, and extremely effective way to treat phobias such as the fear of
driving that you've described. It often has dramatic results in just a few sessions.
When EMDR is integrated with other traditional forms of talk-therapy, effectiveness is
maximized and long-term resolution of symptoms is quite possible. You can read more
about this type of treatment at:http://www.emdr.com/q&a.htm
EMDR is most helpful for trauma recovery, anxiety disorders, OCD, phobias, and other
long-standing life issues. Linda

Does anyone know a therapist or clinic that specializes in
phobia cures? I have heard of types of therapy for phobias that
are very quick and effective when there are aren't a lot of
other issues to be worked out.
