From the author: From the point of view of hypnotherapy, these are emotions that do not carry a real threat. For example, let’s take the emotion of fear. It motivates us to restore safety. For example, a lone Rottweiler barks at you. Is this dangerous? Those. Is it rational if you feel fear at the same time? Emotions are classified as rational and irrational not only by the type of emotion (for example, fear), but also by intensity. If the dog is behind a fence, you should not be afraid. It's rational. Most dogs just bark from behind the fence and don't escape. And even if they run away, they suddenly become peaceful. If you are in the forest and a barking dog suddenly runs out at you, this is a real danger, you will be right if you can aggressively defend yourself. If you're walking in a park where there are a lot of off-leash dogs, it's generally normal to experience some very minimal apprehension that doesn't cause physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, sweating, confusion, etc. But, if in such a situation the intensity of the emotion is too high, such an emotion can also be called irrational. Treatment of phobias - i.e. irrational fears, this is the prerogative of hypnotherapy. Excessive emotions can be of other types: excessive guilt, shame, sadness, boredom, anger - the presence of such “overwhelming” emotions is also a reason to contact a hypnotherapist. And Panic Attacks are the most irrational of all emotions and they are always intense. Often they arise for no apparent reason, out of nowhere, causing the widest “spectrum” of symptoms. For example, one client ended up in cardiology twice with a suspected heart attack, until they realized that it was psychosomatic. Hypnotherapy effectively eliminates such “attacks”, and often allows clients to have a good laugh at the cause of these attacks when these true reasons are revealed.
