From Fear to Freedom: A Natural Approach to Healing Phobias 

As someone who once struggled with phobias—especially around needles or people vomiting—I know how overwhelming and embarrassing they can feel.  I understand how you can feel crazy when you try to reason with yourself, yet still can’t override the intense fear.  The danger feels so intense and real, even if it seems silly or irrational to others.

If you are sick of living with intense fear related to flying, crowds, needles, germs, driving, or animals like bees, spiders, or dogs, you’ve come to the right place.  We understand that these phobias don’t simply resolve with meds, supplements, or willpower alone.  We also understand that you aren’t broken or overreacting.  

Phobias are very real nervous system reactions, shaped by your past experiences, and often connected to unhealed trauma or unprocessed emotion that has been stored in your nervous system. 

Can You Relate to Any of These Common Phobias?

If you can relate to any of the above, please know that you’re not broken.  Phobias are often survival responses from experiences in the past and as frustrating as it may feel, your body is doing its best to protect you.  With the right support and treatment, it’s possible to retrain your nervous system, restore your sense of safety, and enjoy life with more freedom and less fear.

A Different Approach to Resolving Phobias

Traditional approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, or medications may offer minimal or temporary relief, but they don’t address the deeper ‘why’ behind the fear.

At Hope and Healing Naturopathic, we see phobias as deep-seated fears that occur because of stored or suppressed emotion.  While it may sound unusual, these reactions stem from subconscious patterns, outside the control of your logical, intellectual mind. It’s impossible to resolve a subconscious issue with our conscious mind which is why it likely has felt impossible to resolve your phobia(s). We honor your body’s innate intelligence to heal from within, supporting your nervous system in releasing old fear responses so it no longer reacts to past triggers. 

How Our Naturopathic Doctors Can Help

All of our care is personalized.  We may work with 100 patients who have claustrophobia, and find that each person has a unique root cause, requiring individualized treatment.  Some may notice a 90-100% resolution in their symptoms in 1-2 appointments, while others may require multiple healing sessions.  We have noticed the most profound, long lasting, and efficient results with the following treatments:

• Quantum Neuro Reset Therapy (QNRT) to reset the brain and restore healthier nervous system patterns. 
• Homeopathic medicines to support the body’s natural ability to heal and reduce fear.  Safe and gentle, these medicines can be used by people of all ages and health conditions, whether they are on medications or not. 
• Bio Craniopathy to restore balance and alignment from head to feet, promote vagus nerve tone, and enhance parasympathetic function.  This is ideal for anyone who has suffered any face or head trauma, including concussions, falls, or accidents.

Although NET is typically most effective to resolve phobias, when applicable, we may also incorporate any combination of:

• Acupuncture to balance meridians, reduce anxiety, and promote relaxation.
• Scalar or Frequency Devices to promote parasympathetic function and vagus nerve activity and increase cellular voltage to promote healing.
• Laboratory evaluations to assess for underlying nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, or toxic burden that may be contributing to your symptoms.
• Dietary evaluations and guidance to identify foods that may be exacerbating nervous system reactions and support the nutritional foundations for nervous system resilience and overall health.
• Supplements to address deficiencies, support depleted systems and detoxification pathways, and balance hormonal and neurotransmitter production.

Phobias Don’t Happen Randomly

Every person’s story is different. We take the time to listen, consider any and all potential causes, and support healing at the deepest levels.

Phobias don’t happen randomly.  They are a signal to listen and love on your nervous system.  Our goal is not just to reduce fear or make phobias disappear — we strive to help you create enough safety in your brain and body so that phobias aren’t prevalent.  When your body no longer perceives danger, phobias can naturally fade — without forcing, shaming, or medicating.

A New Lease On Life

Since resolving my phobias, I have had more freedom, peace, and confidence to live life to the fullest.  I’m now able to perform or receive injections, blood draws, or acupuncture without feeling hot, weak, and sweaty.  

I have been able to be around people who vomited, while on vacation in nature, in medical facilities, or in social situations without running away, feeling like I’m going to pass out, or die.  

I can drive without anxiety, I can speak publicly without feeling like my chest is going to explode.  Most importantly I can live my life with more freedom and confidence which is liberating and empowering.

I know this is possible for you too, and it doesn’t have to be difficult or exhausting.  Even if you have multiple phobias, there is hope for healing.  Even if these phobias have held you back for many years, you can still heal.   You deserve to feel safe.  I welcome you to take the leap to live a life without being held back by phobias.
