The latest adaptation of Stephen King’s classic horror ‘It’ is in the cinemas currently. It's already breaking records in the box office in the US on it’s opening weekend and has passed the $200m mark worldwide. The highly rated film features a clown called Pennywise and is scaring audiences across the UK. While this may simply be another horror film for most of us for the 12% across the UK with coulrophobia it represents something much more serious. There will be more images of clowns in the media over the next few weeks which can create issues from mild anxiety to full blown panic attacks.
Clowns are one of those phobias that people can manage by simple avoidance. For most people with coulrophobia they can simply choose to avoid places such as the circus where clowns may be seen. With ‘It’ being such a popular film those that are afraid of clowns will see more images of clowns than normal which can cause unnecessary anxiety.
Just as the film Jaws was responsible for many people developing galeophobia the original 1990 mini-series of ‘It’, featuring Tim Curry as Pennywise, was responsible for many people developing coulrophobia. It’s my belief that the popularity of the latest version of ‘It’ will see Pennywise create a new generation with a fear of clowns.
To help deal with this anxiety I've created a hypnosis audio download specifically to help with clown phobia and is available by completing the form below.
As a Harley Street hypnotherapist, not everyone can afford to work with me to deal with their phobias and I wanted to help as many as possible. Most people with coulrophobia will just hope that the increase in images of clowns will go away and that ‘It’ doesn’t restart the killer clown trend that we saw last year. To help those people deal with their phobia I created the download to offer an instant way to cope with the next few weeks when clowns will undoubtedly be in the mainstream media.
