School Phobia Treatment
GUIDE
TO SCHOOL PHOBIA TREATMENT
School Phobia is real, serious and treatable. Experts believe that school phobia is caused by a combination of biological and environmental factors,
much like other disorders, such as heart disease and diabetes. But some of
this thinking is starting to change as leading edge practitioners learn and use Energy
Psychology.
The
vast majority of people with an school phobia can be helped with professional
care. Success of treatment varies with the individual. Some people may respond
to school phobia treatment after a few months, while others may take a year or more. This is
also starting to change with Energy Psychology. School phobia treatment times are proving to
be significantly shorter at the same time being more effective.
School Phobia Treatment
is sometimes complicated by the fact that people very often have more than one
phobia, or suffer from depression or substance abuse. This is why
treatment must be tailored to the individual.
Although
school phobia treatment is individualized, there are several standard approaches that have
proven to be effective. Therapists will use one, or a combination of these
therapies.
SCHOOL PHOBIA TREATMENT
OPTIONS
Behavior
Therapy - School phobia treatment
The goal of Behavior Therapy is to modify and gain control over unwanted
behavior. The individual learns to cope with difficult situations, often through
controlled exposure to them. This kind of therapy gives the individual a sense
of having control over their life. However, it is not the most effective
intervention or therapy. And it can be very uncomfortable at times.
Cognitive
Therapy - School phobia treatment
The goal of Cognitive Therapy is to change unproductive or harmful thought
patterns. The individual examines his feelings and learns to separate realistic
from unrealistic thoughts. As with Behavior Therapy, the individual is actively
involved in his own recovery and has a sense of control.
Cognitive-Behavior
Therapy (CBT) - School phobia treatment
Many therapists use a combination of Cognitive and Behavior Therapies. This is
often referred to as CBT. One of the benefits of these types of therapies is that
the patient learns recovery skills that are useful for a lifetime.
Relaxation
Techniques - School phobia treatment
Relaxation Techniques help individuals develop the ability to more effectively
cope with the stresses that contribute to phobia, as well as with some of the
physical symptoms of phobia. The techniques taught include breathing
re-training and exercise.
Hypnotherapy – School phobia Treatment
Hypnotherapy
helps people reprogram subconscious "programs" that may be part of
school phobia. When these programs are "de-bugged" the symptoms of
school phobia often are minimized. However, some people don't like the
feeling of loss of control in allowing someone else to play with their personal
"software". Also, the skill of hypnotherapists seems to vary widely.
Neuro-Linguistic
Programming (NLP) – School phobia Treatment
NLP
is basically the study and practice of how we create our reality. From the NLP
viewpoint, school phobia is the result of programs or
"constructs" that we have created that don't work very well. With NLP,
these constructs are revealed and "re-programmed" so that the school phobia is minimized and often eliminated. Usually the interventions are
quite rapid and effective. They are also sometimes rather complex and can be
difficult to use in self-help situations.
Energy
Psychology - School phobia treatment
Energy
Psychology is emerging as the best of all therapies for phobia and fears because in studies it is
shown to be rapid, safe, effective and long-lasting. It is based on a theory and
practice that has been around for a couple of thousand years. It has the same
foundation or roots as acupuncture, except in this case there are no needles
used. You could call it emotional acupuncture - without the needles. Recent
scientific studies have shown it to be very effective.
There are a lot of advantages to this method. First, it combines the
benefits of all the above school phobia treatment therapies.
- You
quickly and easily change your behaviors.
- You
are active in your own recovery.
- You
are in control.
- Your
thought patterns change, often very quickly.
- You
are able to relax.
- You develop skills and techniques that are
useful
for a lifetime in all situations.
Second,
it is the most economical therapy. Fewer school phobia treatment sessions are required, and the
therapy is proving to be long lasting, usually permanent.
Third,
you can get help right away. Often the school phobia treatment therapy can be conducted over the
phone, saving time and expense. Also, it is more private. You call from a
location convenient, comfortable and private for you.
Fourth,
unlike the other above methods, often people can be helped measurably without
the aid of a therapist. Often you can treat yourself by learning simple
school phobia treatment protocols.
