Button Phobia is surprisingly common, and I must say well done you for sharing this with us and actually writing the word button down, you really are not alone with this phobia. I would need to speak to you theres a few questions I would need to ask such as does:
the fear depend on the type or size of button
does the irrational fear come when the button has 'come loose'
or the noise that buttons make does it bring a panic attack
Did this irrational fear start in early childhood
The do you choose clothes for your children that use zips, elastic or velcro
I would use the fast phobia cure (NLP) with hypnotherapy
The Fast Phobia Cure Program is unique because:
It treats the cause, not the symptoms. Many traditional phobia treatments, including drugs, attempt to deal with the phobia by masking it or by calming things down after the response pattern has triggered. After the panic. They treat the symptoms, not the cause.
Or they require you to confront your fears head-on - which usually makes it worse.
Or they require you to challenge your thoughts. But that doesn't work either because part of your mind - the conscious rational, logical part - already knows your responses don't make sense.
But the Fast Phobia Cure is unique because it treats the cause by removing the underlying pattern that drives your phobia. And without the pattern there is no phobia. So it does what it says - it cures phobias.
How it works
So if The Fast Phobia Cure is nothing to do with relaxation techniques, challenging your thoughts or facing your fear, how does it work?
Well, you know that logic, reason and willpower have never helped with your phobia. That's because it's the other part of your mind that drives the phobia - the unconscious creative, imaginative, irrational part. And your imagination will always be stronger than logic and reason. So the key to changing the phobia is to work with rather than against the creative unconscious mind.
At some point your creative unconscious mind got an idea that the feared object or situation was "life-threatening". Since then it has attached all kinds of feelings of discomfort, anxiety and panic to that thing or situation to make you avoid going anywhere near it in future, thus, by its own kind of logic, keeping you "safe". It has probably been quite successful in this.
To cure the phobia, this part of your mind simply needs the chance to re-evaluate that thing or situation as non-threatening. The Fast Phobia Cure gives it that chance by using its own strength - your powerful imagination - against itself to creatively change and de-condition the pattern in a safe and comfortable way so it won't trigger again.
