Is A Fear of Confrontation Running Your Life?

People who have a fear of confrontation are almost deathly afraid of any kind of conflict. We’d all like to have life go along smoothly with everyone getting along. Unfortunately, though, that isn’t always the case. Disagreements and arguments pop up from time to time as a natural part of life. The thought of a little spat can send some people into a cold sweat, and their anxiety about confrontations can keep them from having relationships and achieving their dreams.

And this isn’t as uncommon as you may think. Anywhere from 20-50% of all people fear confrontation in varying degrees.

A fear of confrontation is about one thing: control. You want to be in control to such a degree that you can’t deal with someone else disagreeing with you. Or you’ve felt rejected—which causes a feeling of loss of control-- by someone in a confrontation at some point in your life so you do everything you can to avoid having that unpleasant feeling again.

It’s ok to want to get along with people, but a fear of confrontation gets out of control when you can’t stand up for yourself. For example, you’re in an abusive relationship and you accept the abuse rather than confront your abuser. Or someone takes credit for work you’ve done on your job and you keep quiet about it just to keep the peace. In the end, you just feel trapped and frustrated.

But you can end your fear of confrontation, and hypnosis can help. Hypnosis allows you to reprogram your mind so that you no longer have your fear. You are able to stay relaxed and focused in a confrontation, and respond rationally rather than freezing up.
