I think hypnotherapy can be used for MANY phobias. You can contact a local hypnotherapist to find out.

You should ask your therapist about this. See if they have known people or heard of people (in medical journals) who have had success with this.

In my NHS trust you can get hypnotherapy on the NHS for this disorder (and others).

yes – but you would have been better off using a sytematic desensitisation prograame. Ask your therapist why they did not devise one for you. they are very effective for the treatment of phobias of any kind.
