How to Cure Phobia of Clowns?
To cure fears or phobias of clowns, the exposure treatment called flooding is the most common and simplest method in which the person is immersed in the fear reflex until the fear itself fades away. Another method is counter-conditioning in which the person is taught to substitute a relaxation response for the fear response in the presence of the phobic stimulus. One of the most effective way to cure clown phobia or completely get rid of it is to re-program the sufferer’s mind by implementing effective self-hypnosis methods. Since the conscious part of our brain accounts for about ten percent, to make changes strictly on a conscious level is extremely difficult. Therefore, these self-hypnosis methods help in removing the negative pattern of the behavior and accepting the positive new conditioning by using the larger part of our unconscious mind.
