Multifaceted And Holistic Animal and Spider Phobia Therapy
Creature Courage has a unique approach that give us our incredibly high success rate for curing spider phobias. There is a reason for this. Did you know that many spider phobia treatments fail because only one approach is usually offered at a time? When I talk to people about my therapy, something I can often hear is “I already tried hypnotherapy and it didn’t work.” This is usually because the hypnotherapy is offered in isolation from other techniques.
The Spider Courage Experience offers a holistic and multi faceted approach to spider phobia therapy. Many therapy providers fall short of their objectives due to their limited approaches and the eventual cost of therapy usually becomes prohibitive. Not all people will respond the same way to each technique. Morever, there is no “one size fits all” solution. Different people will resonate with different types of treatments so that is why we uniquely combine a number of techniques in one session.
However, Creature Courage unique approach aims to provide a well rounded therapy with many different techniques. Instead of several smaller sessions we conduct our therapy in one full day session. This is so all the techniques can work together, freshly learned in your mind. This is not only saves time and money but also achieves a high success rate. With the Spider Courage Experience, you can obtain cost effective therapy that offers a greater variety of techniques than your average phobia therapy.
Techniques we use are:
- Education to build compassion and fascination
- Art therapy
- CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy),
- Imagination exercises,
- Education around anxiety neuroscience, NLP techniques
- Hypnotherapy
- Immersive Therapy
Our Unique Approach Is Based In Science
The Creature Courage Unique approach is similar to the one suggested by Annabelle Moore (Department of Applied Psychology NYU STEINHARD), as detailed in her text, ‘The Many Treatment Methodologies for Phobias: Finding the Best Fit:’
“…In order to develop the most beneficial intervention many methods have been created and tested. “The Many Treatment Methodologies for Phobias” will discuss popular treatments, such as psychoanalysis and cognitive behavioral techniques, as well as more recent approaches. All of these treatments have shown different rates of efficacy depending on the population and the phobia. Clinicians should be well versed in all of these methods in order to select the most appropriate treatment for the phobic client …”
Ms Moore goes on to discuss commonly employed therapies, including the ones featured in The Spider Courage Experience. The original text can be found HERE.
Creature Courage’s unique approach also teaches techniques to continue to keep people calm and in control of their emotions. It is a holistic approach that considers the spider phobia within the context of our client’s general anxiety. We understand that you cannot just treat one aspect of anxiety and have lasting results if bad habits around other triggers is still happening. Our clients learn how to respond better to all anxiety triggers to build good habits and to grow overall courage. We now even have our own specialised generalised anxiety coaching option.
