I
have always been afraid of rats and mice, but particularly rats,
and it was a real problem, recently when out walking with a friend
I saw a rat and in my panic and much to my friend’s astonishment
I tried to leap onto his back, something had to be done
I thought it would mean a lengthy series of sessions to cure something
as bad as my fear of rats but when I spoke to Carole she assured
me that only one session was likely to be needed, I found it hard
to believe but agreed to make an appointment.
It really wasn’t what I expected,
I thought I would find it all very traumatic but in fact it was
the opposite, quite light
hearted and we laughed a lot.
I left after that two hour session
wondering if it had worked ….well
two weeks later I was cycling along and saw a rat a few feet away
from me, normally I would have screamed,
leapt off my bike and legged it in the opposite direction. In fact
what I did was notice
the rat and carried on cycling as if nothing had happened. I will
never like rats but I am not afraid of them anymore.
A year on from that I still feel the same
way, it is great to be able to look back and laugh at that old
fear."
