How I got over my phobia of the Dentist

I was sitting in a dentist reclining chair, with a dental assistant taking my blood pressure before my surgery. As the nurse was done preparing me for my procedure, she looked down at me smiling and said for the first time, I had low to normal blood pressure. Normally, my anxiety about the procedures would prevent even dental cleanings. I laughed and told her that she was the first in my dental experiences to tell me that I had good blood pressure. Most dental assistants asked me if I am on blood pressure medications, because of how high it gets. The problem was due to anxiety and fear. I have had issues with my anxieties over going to the dentist for most of my life. Now, I can remain calm, cool, and collected through the dental work. The nurse asked how I was able to move past my anxiety and fear. I told her and now I am going to tell you.
Throughout our lives we all have gone through events that have influenced us as we grow older; some positive and some negative influences. The negative influences can often hinder us in our adult lives. For me, my hindrance was going to see the dentist. As I got older my experience with going to the dentist has mostly been unpleasant. From the first appointment that I can remember; I never believed that I would have a good experience seeing the dentist. My fear was so intense that I called the dentist the day before my appointment to reschedule or cancel it. The work that needed to get done, was not getting fixed. My mouth hurt, and I tried for years to find natural home remedies to deal with my pain. After a while, those remedies no longer worked. It became clear to me that I needed to get over my fear.
In my career as a veterinary technician, I have helped with hundreds of animal dental procedures; I even knew how to clean teeth, yet I could not find solutions to my dental necessities. My anxieties were hindering me from improving my health. That is one of many things that brought me to make changes. My interests brought me into a greater understanding of Hypnosis, which gave me greater insight into where I could help myself. As my newfound knowledge grew, I was able to let go of the fear that I was desperate to get relief for.
Every day, routinely I use these techniques to improve my life. Because I found tools to overcome my anxieties, using self-hypnosis, meditation, mantras, and breathing techniques as self-improvements, I was now able to make and keep all my appointments. I could sit in the waiting room without anxiety. What surprised me the most was how I felt when sitting in that dental chair, and calmly talking to the dentist without anxious reactions. It was no longer exasperating because I was finally on track to get my health where it needed to be. I got the work that needed to be done, finished! Whereas I had been terrified, I was now able to have anyone work in my mouth. My knowledge of hypnosis is now improving and gets better every day.
I have listed several ways hypnosis can improve your life, and I am eager to see what I can do for you. In 2018, I trained at Northwest Hypnosis Institute in Milwaukie Oregon; as a Certified Consulting Hypnotist and Intuitive Life Coach. I also have taken Dolores Cannon's Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) course and I am excited to utilize it in my practice. Now I'm helping people with everyday problems from weight loss to spiritual guidance. I want to know where I can help you improve your life and remove glass ceilings, glass walls so that you can challenge roadblocks and improve your journey through life.
