Nick Kemp - Phobia Cures

Phobias are often learnt in a single instance and described as "one trial learning"

This "one trial learning" becomes the subsequent emotional trigger to create the same response in future times. Typical symptoms of this fearful response include greatly increased anxiety, perspiring, increased metabolism, racing thoughts amongst other symptoms. The key to changing the historical phobic response is to change the "emotional charge" that triggers the old behaviour to create new found freedom for the individual. By using Provocative Change Works we can do exactly this, usually in one or two sessions.


Since the late 1990s I have used this approach to successfully cure a wide range of different phobias. Common phobias include fear of spiders, snakes, heights, bridges, insects, confined spaces, birds, needles, public speaking amongst many others too numerous to mention. Many phobics I see have previously attempted numerous other approaches and often the more analytical or cogitative techniques have proved to be very time consuming. My personal experience is that "analysing the problem" rarely results in changing the old phobic response because the emotional charge that causes it, remains wholly unaffected by these forms of analysis.

In 2006 I was a guest on BBC for 26 consecutive weeks curing a wide range of phobias live on air. Most of these were cured within an hour using a combination of elements from NLP, Provocative Therapy and Hypnosis. This multi layered combination works better even than stand alone NLP or Hypnosis and I have literally successfully treated hundreds of phobics in this way. Many of the BBC phobia sessions can be heard here and my DVD set "Provocative Change Works™ for Phobias" shows many of the techniques I use in this process.


I just wanted to say thanks. I have had 2 sessions to treat a wasp phobia. Whilst I don't think i will ever really like wasps (does anybody?), I am perfectly happy if one comes near me. It really has made a massive difference to me. I have been able to enjoy being out in the garden for the first time I can remember. Even the little things, such as leaving windows open in the house or driving with a window open, no longer scare me. Thanks again, I never imagined that these sessions would make the huge difference they have.

Kind regards
