Welcome to KLTV’s My Health is My Wealth, a new podcast all about the rich inner workings of the human psyche.

Do snakes make you shake? Do heights give you a fright? Does cotton wool make you cringe? This episode is all about fears and phobias and delves into the fascinating world of fear and its profound impact on our lives.

Fears and phobias are a common and natural part of being human. While fears are often based on real threats, phobias are excessive and irrational, causing significant distress and interfering with daily life.

Both fears and phobias can be triggered by specific objects, situations, or activities, leading to physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and shortness of breath.

Host Niki Matthews is joined by expert consultant Jo Lavan, founder of Jo Fisher Hypnotherapy. Jo is an expert in solution-focused hypnotherapy, which focuses on the present and future rather than the past.

Niki and Jo discuss their own fears and phobias to try and ascertain what they are, how we get them, the effects they have on us and what we can do to minimise the pain and anguish that they cause.
