What is Tokophobia?
Tokophobia is a pathological fear of pregnancy and can lead to avoidance of childbirth. The word stems from the Greek word 'Tokos', which means childbirth, and the word 'phobos' meaning dread or fear. It was only officially recognised in 2000, and has received much attention in medical fields due to being overlooked prior to the coining of the term.
Interesting Fact:
Helen Mirren developed tokophobia after being shown an educational video about childbirth at school.
Tokophobia Causes:
Tokophobia can manifest as a morbid fear of childbirth in a woman who has no previous experience of pregnancy. It can also develop as a fear of childbirth after a traumatic obstetric event in a previous pregnancy. It may have a root in a fear of pain, or a fear for the life of the child.
Tokophobia Symptoms:
If you have this phobia, seeing or hearing about pregnancy can cause a stress response like increased heart rate or nausea due to your fight or flight response being triggered. Some people with this phobia may avoid sexual intercourse, or even elect to have a c-section when pregnant. Some women are also reported to experience nightmares.
Why I Should Get Treated:
6-7% of the world suffers from this phobia, and it can seriously impact your chances of having a family, or even stop you from having a child entirely. This can damage relationships, or stop you having a family even if you desperately want a child. Wanting a child but suffering from Tokophobia can be a horrible experience, but you're not alone, and you don't have to live like this.
Why See The Phobia Guru For Treatment:
I am often able to help people break free of their phobia in just one session, using the scientifically proven power of hypnotherapy combined with NLP and an immersive therapy option. My therapy skillfully combines these techniques uniquely to create the most powerful, effective and quickest way to beat a phobia. You will be in the hands of a trained phobia expert who will help you transform your mind and liberate yourself from even the most extreme fears.
Hypnotherapy is so effective with phobias because it tackles the underlying trigger of the phobia within the subconscious. Once a person has access to their subconscious they can eliminate their conditioned response to the stimulus. So instead of treating just the symptoms, hypnotherapy can heal the source for a lasting result. The best part about hypnotherapy and phobias is that often it only takes one session to completely get over the phobia so you do not have to spend a lot of money on continual treatment. The NHS also promotes hypnotherapy as an effective treatment for phobias.
