Ablutophobia: Information and Causes |
||||||||||||||||||
Ablutophobia is defined as a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of washing, bathing, or cleaning, each year this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress.
To add insult to an already distressing condition, many ablutophobia therapies take months or years and sometimes even require the patient to be exposed repeatedly to their fear. It is believed that not only it is totally unnecessary, but also makes the condition worse. And it is particularly cruel as the phobic individual can eliminate ablutophobia with the right methods and just 24 hours of dedication and commitment.
Referred in a number of ways - Ablutophobia; Fear of Washing, and Fear of Bathing being the most common - the problem significantly impacts the quality of life. It can cause fear attacks and keep people apart from loved ones and business associates. Symptoms typically include shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, rapid breathing, and overall feelings of dread, although everyone experiences ablutophobia in their own way and may have different symptoms.
Though a variety of potent drugs are often prescribed for ablutophobia, side effects and withdrawal symptoms can be severe. Additionally, drugs do not "cure" ablutophobia or any other phobia. At best they temporarily curb the symptoms through chemical interaction.
Like all fears and phobias, ablutophobia is created by the unconscious mind as a defensive mechanism. At some point in your past, there was likely an event linking washing, cleaning or bathing and emotional trauma. Whilst the original catalyst may have been a real-life scare of some kind, the condition can also be triggered by myriad, benign events like TV, movies, or perhaps seeing someone else experience trauma.
But so long as the negative involvement is powerful enough, the unconscious mind thinks: Ahh, this whole thing is very dangerous. How do we keep ourselves from getting in this kind of situation again? In that way ablutophobia is born. Attaching emotions to situations is one of the primary ways that human beings learn.
The actual phobia manifests itself in many ways. Some sufferers experience it almost all the time, while others just in response to direct stimuli. Everyone has their own sole formula for when and how to feel bad. Ablutophobia will likely cost you tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars during the course of your lifetime, let alone the cost to your health and quality of life.
There are many practitioners who will teach you to regain control of your emotions and conquer your Ablutophobia. Working with them, you will rapidly train your unconscious mind to connect different, positive feelings to the stimuli that triggers the phobia. And you will learn quickly to stop the root cause of your Fear of Flying: those awful thoughts, images, movies or sounds.
They do not use hypnosis for Ablutophobia but the modern techniques are equally relaxing and enjoyable. Clients immediately notice that they feel in a different way. Once the unconscious mind feels safe and learns how to respond properly, it will always know - so the results are permanent.
