Fear is one of the basic, negative but necessary feelings all of us experience from time to time. We feel it for a reason, usually to protect us. As we know some dogs can be dangerous in certain circumstances or situations. It would not be prudent for a small child to approach a large dog they don't know without the owner being close at hand. There is of course a difference between harmless fears which have no or little impact on our day to day lives and strong fears or phobias. If fear keeps you safe and makes you careful that's fine, but if a fear of dogs stops you from going to certain places or doing certain things then its time to redress the balance.
This recording is designed to help you to reprogramme your mind to react in an appropriate in the company of dogs.
The aim is for you to not be bothered, to feel neutral, to learn how to relax, breathe naturally and easily and allow your mind to make appropriate judgements about how to deal with dogs. In addition to this recording being written and delivered by Darren Marks one of the UKs leading hypnotherapists and NLP practitioners, it also utilizes dual delivery hypnotherapy (DDH) and brainwave entrainment. DDH involves different suggestions or metaphors being delivered separately yet simultaneously through the right and left headphones. The effect is deeply hypnotic and has the advantage of helping the unconscious mind to accept beneficial suggestions with less conscious interference.
When the brain is exposed to rhythm, the rhythm is recreated in the brain in the form of these electrical impulses. If the rhythm is the right speed it can begin to mimic natural brainwave patterns. When this occurs, the brain reacts by synchronizing to the same rhythm. This phenomenon is called the Frequency Following Response (or FFR). FFR is used here to assist people to rapidly access deep meditative states which could take years to master without assistance.
