Fear of escalators – London underground *

I had Cognitive Hypnotherapy for a fear of getting on escalators. Before the sessions if I knew I was going shopping or up to London on the tube, I would find myself panicking about the escalators, sweaty palms, raised heart rate, not looking forward to the day ahead. I did have some reservations about the therapy, but had to try something, as I was getting desperate. I booked a session after a day trip to London with the children over the Christmas period, I was totally marred by my phobia and I just thought enough! So I went to see Heather and it was after my second session that everything shifted. I got very emotional about an incident when I was young that I had remembered, but the detail was amazing and then changing my thought process about the incident made a big difference. I am still not totally comfortable with escalators, but don’t avoid them as I did previously (in fact embrace them) and have since gone to London on a couple of occasions and used the London Underground with only slight hesitation, which is 100 times better than I was. I would totally recommend Heather.
