Fear of Dogs PDF Print E-mail
S is a 29 year old woman who phoned me and told me that she had a fear of dogs. We arrange a time for her to come to me and after she filled in my client information form she looked and spoke very nervously and was very fidgety.

We had a talk first of all and I asked her if she was nervous and she said that she was hoping that I did not have a dog in the house and she should have asked me if I had on the phone. I assured her I only had cats and she was a little more calm then. I thought that because she was still a little nervous we should talk about her dog issues later and we had a chat about relaxing and we did the calm routine. After the calm routine she was so much better and her general manner changed and her shoulders dropped a little. We were then able to start and find out about her fear of dogs.

She told me that she had had this fear all her life. Her family did not fear them and now it had got so bad her partner was getting very upset with her as they cannot go to the park for a walk, or by the riverside and feed the ducks, or go to any of their friends house as she might meet a dog. Even going into the local town was now an issue as there are people there with dogs.

Her partner has to do the shopping as our local Tescos has dogs tied up outside the entrance. Also she went shopping about 5 years ago and dog jumped up at the car window in Tesco’s car park.

I asked her how she feels when she sees dogs and she said she cannot breathe, feels shaky, sweaty, knots in her stomach, heart beats very hard, can’t relax, cries and ends up hysterical. So to not experience all this she avoids so many things now and she wants to feel better so that she can experience things with her partner and not make her own child afraid. With her feeling this way all her life I asked her if there had been a specific incident that sparked off her fear and she said no. The only thing that she could say was that when she was about 10 she had been at her friends house nd her friend had a dog and it jumped up at her and she had ended up in ears and her friend laughing at her and calling her pathetic which were her friends word.

The dog had not bit her or anything, he was just being friendly and wanted to play. I asked her how she felt about that incident and she said stupid, pathetic and frightened. I also asked how she felt frightened in her body at this incident and she said panicking and shaky. There were no other incidences in her childhood but she was always on her guard after that.

I asked her if she felt pathetic any other time since that memory.  She said yes she had felt she was pathetic all her life and particularly in university as she was not the brightest student but she got her degree. Also now with the ways she feels even though her partner is good with her he sometimes gets exasperated with her. I asked her what happens when he gets exasperated with her and she said he makes a sort of tutting noise, which drives her mad and has lately got somewhat angry with her. I asked her how it made her feel and she said it makes her feel even more pathetic.

I asked her at what age did she think that this fear got worse and she said about 26 and we discussed what was going on in her life around that time. She said she had started a new job and found it very stressful. She has since resigned this job and has a job that she now likes but it is difficult, as she has to go different ways to work everyday and avoid dogs in the street.

It takes her usually 50 minutes to do what would normally take 20 minutes.

I thought the first place to start was that first incident that she could remember with the dog at her friends and her feeling stupid, pathetic and frightened. So we focused on that incident and took a focus word of stupid. Measured intensity and it was 8. Did some good breathing and a yawn. We applied FREEWAY-CER and she went from an 8 down to a 3 and I asked if she really wanted to let this go. She said yes.

We applied FREEWAY-CER Measured the intensity and it was now a zero.

I asked her to go back to that incidence and recreate that feeling of stupid and she said no. She was not being stupid, she was guarding herself from what was a very large dog that she did not know and that was sensible in case it was dangerous. We then went on to the shaky feeling and she had during that incident and she said she would focus on the word shaky.

Intensity was 8 just remembering that time. Good breath and yawn followed by  A full round of FREEWAY-CER WE Measured the intensity and it was a now down to a 3 and I asked her if she wanted to let go of these feelings around this incident and she said yes and that it was only a little bit now. We applied FREEWAY-CER and when we measure the intensity it was down to zero.

There was a nice smile on her face. It was then the time to go to panicking during that incident and she said that she felt a lot better about the incident now, but I thought it was best to go through the panicking. We measured the intensity and it was at 4, so I asked her was it a lot of panicking now and she said no only a little bit and she wanted to release it. So she focused on the words little bit panicking and rubbed the tender spot, then went on to rub and tap the 8 points and when we measured the intensity it was down to zero. I asked her to go back to that incident at her friends and try and recreate that feeling of panicking and she said she was rather flat with any feelings about it. Only sad that that had been hanging on her shoulders all that time. However she did feel that some of her defensiveness at the time was out self preservation, as she did not know the dog.

We then went on to pathetic. I asked her how she felt in that instance at her friend saying she was pathetic. She was disappointed in her friend for not being understanding. I asked her if she wanted to work on the disappointment in her friend or her friend calling her pathetic. She said the pathetic. So she thought about her friend and the word pathetic We measured the intensity and it was 9 and had a nice breathe and a yawn. Followed by a round of FREEWAY-CER we then Measured the intensity and it had gone down to 7.

We tapped and rubbed again and she got to one point on her chest and she took a Really big breath and we applied  FREEWAY-CER tapping and then measured the intensity and it was down to 1.

She said she felt as if something had released from her chest and her heart seemed to take an extra big beat at that point. But she felt so much better.

I asked her now how her pathetic was and she said it was only a tiny bit in that instance. She said she wanted to get rid of it, we then We applied FREEWAY-CER and we then Measured the  intensity and it had gone to zero. I then asked her about the pathetic in that instance with her friend and the dog Se said it was a shame that her friend had been like that because they had been quite good friends till then, but she had now lost that feeling of being pathetic and felt so much better.

I now wanted to focus on the frightened in that incident.

So she focused on being frightened within that incident and she measured the intensity at a 6. We did the sentence and rubbed the tender point Did the round of tapping or rubbing Measure intensity and it had gone. I asked if she was ok about it going straight to zero and she said yes as this incident has been so long gone and she did not feel pathetic or stupid and it was somehow correct to be frightened when she did not know the dog.

However she did not feel the same having been frightened about that incident. I then went on to ask her about being pathetic in the rest of her life as I thought that somehow it was important and had affected her self-esteem and how she felt about herself.

We discussed her university life and she said that although she got her degree she had had to struggle and had been made to feel as if she was quite thick. I asked her which part of her university life was the worse bit and she said she had had a tutor who was not so nice and made her feel as if she was thick. She wanted to concentrate on the words tutor made her feel thick. We measured the intensity of that and it was at 9, so we had some good breathing and a massive yawn, then rubbed the tender spot and focused on her words. We applied FREEWAY-CER then measured the intensity and found it at 2.

I asked her if she wanted to release the emotions of her tutor making her feel  thick and she said yes but she realised that it was her that had allowed him to do that to her. Measured the intensity of the focus allowed him to make me feel thick and it was 10. Good breath, rubbed tender spot, tapped or rubbed 8 points Measured intensity and it was a 1. I asked her if she felt that it was a different feeling now and she said yes it was. It was only a tiny bit. I Asked her if she wanted to be free of this and she said yes, so she focused on a tiny bit allowed him to make me feel thick. Tapped etc the 8 points and measured the intensity and it was a zero. I Asked her to go back and think about her tutor making her feel thick and we Measured the intensity and her hand was at zero. She had a very large yawn at that point.

We then talked about her being pathetic and she said yes it was rather that she had gone through her life at university being pathetic. I asked her to measure the intensity of that and it was at 7. So she rubbed tender point Tapped all 8 points and measured the intensity and it had plummeted to zero.

Hands over ears and sentence I have now let go of this……………..

We discussed her being pathetic and she said that she was not and that she had got a 2.1 degree and that was a great achievement so she was not thick at all.

I asked to go back to the feelings of being thick and pathetic and she said that she had only a feeling of sadness because she had allowed all those feelings to affect her life. I asked her to measure the sadness and it was a 7.

So she rubbed the tender spot and whilst she was rubbing the tender spot she had a sort of gulping breathe and said that she felt a sort of flip flop in her stomach and felt somewhat released. I asked her to complete the round of rubbing or tapping on the 8 points and to measure the intensity of the sadness and she found her hand at zero.

Talked about her sadness of this and she said there was no sadness anymore. She felt that it had gone when she rubbed the tender spot. It sort of released itself then. She said it was quite strange but she felt like a whole load of weight had been removed from her head and that she realised she was not stupid, thick or pathetic or sad anymore.

I asked her to go onwards from this pathetic feeling at university and look at other episodes in her life of her being pathetic and she said although she had thought she was pathetic all her life in fact she was not and she realised that now.  I asked her to pick an incident from the past and she said that it was during her job that she left due to stress. She had felt pathetic because she thought that it was her that was the problem with the job. I asked her to go to that job now and feel as she felt then which she said was pathetic and she measured the intensity and it was at zero. She said she felt that she felt differently about that job now, as she realised that it was not her that was pathetic but that it was not the job for her.

I asked her recreate any other feelings of being pathetic in her life and she said there were non as she now had a new understanding of herself. She said that she had, had a huge burden released from herself and she was as good as anyone else and not pathetic.

We ended the session there.

Next session S came back to me and we had a good discussion about how she feels about herself now and how much better she feels. She said she feels stronger now to cope with her fear of dogs. She said she had felt very nervous at first during the first session and she had gone away feeling so much better about her self and now looks forward to conquering her fear. She said her partner had noticed a change in her and was very loving and cuddly with her over the last few days.  She said she had been working on other things in her life like her partner tutting at her and the stress of her job at 26 etc and she came to the conclusion that she could tap and rub anytime she wanted as she understood what was happening when she did it and how to do it. With this in mind we then went on to her fear of dogs.

I asked her about her body feelings when she is near a dog. She said that she hated the knots in her stomach worse of all. So she focused on knots in the stomach and one particular event when it was worse and she was sick. We measured the intensity and it was a 10. We applied FREEWAY-CER and then the intensity had gone down to a 4 Asked her if it was a lesser feeling and she said yes and she said it was little knots now.  So she said little knots in my stomach. Tapped the 8 points And measured the intensity and it was a 1.  I asked her if she wanted to be free of this feeling and she said yes. So she tapped again and measured and her hand went to zero.

I asked her to go back to that feeling during that incident and she said her knots had gone and that the whole feeling with that incident was kind of flat now. I asked her if she was ok about being flat and she said it was the best feeling because the knots made her feel terrible. I asked her about the feelings of sweaty and she measured the intensity and it was a zero. Going on to shaky and she was again zero. I asked her to look at the whole incident and how she felt about the dog that she was afraid of and she said of course she was wary of dogs but that it was ok now and she realised that she was allowing the dog to make her feel that way and that it would not and could not do anything to her being away from her. She said thinking of it all what could happen with her just looking at a dog. Nothing just looking.

I then asked her to go over any feelings she had over other incidences where she was hysterical with dogs and she said could not produce the feelings and she said she couldn’t as she felt so flat about all of them and that they were not worth thinking about now as they had past and she wanted to move on to the future. I asked her where she wanted to move forward now on this and she said she wanted to work on her avoidance of going to the supermarket. So I asked her what part she wanted to concentrate on and we discussed the dogs being tied up outside the door. I asked what aspect of being tied up outside the door that bothered her and she said coming close to her if their leads broke and them coming up to her. Also she had a fear that if their leads broke they would jump up at her. It was not the thought of them biting that was a problem it was the jumping up.

So we worked on the thought of jumping up and she measured the intensity of 9.  tapping We applied FREEWAY-CER  8 points. Went back to intensity and it was a 3.  I asked her if she wanted to let go of this emotion and she said no. She wanted to feel concerned if they jumped up, as it would be a form of protection for herself but that it was ok as it was, because it would not send her into hysterics. I then reminded her of what she said on the first session that a dog had jumped up at the window once and how did she feel about that now.

She measured the intensity of it and she measured her hand at a 2 and she was safe in the car and could not understand why it bothered her so much in the past. I asked her if she would like to get rid of that and she said yes. So she did the RARP and tapped the 8 points and re-measured the intensity and it was a zero. When she thought about that incident she said she was ok about it now and it was gone and past and if it happened again like that she would be ok. Concerned but ok. I asked her about being concerned and she said it was an all right feeling and not like the feelings she had before.

We then went on to measure the intensity of the dogs “leads broke It was at 6 and so she rubbed the tender spot and said the sentence Then tapped the 8 points Measured the intensity and it was at 3 and she said  that it was just a little fear of their leads breaking now. So she added little fear of leads breaking and continued to tap and when we measured the intensity it was a zero.

I asked her go back to thinking of going shopping and a dog being tied up at the door and she said that even if their leads broke there were enough people around to help and that the issue of them getting loose was very slim. I then asked her about the avoidance of going places and she said that the supermarket felt ok now and she measured the intensity for herself and it was at a zero. She said she liked measuring the intensity of stuff now and it showed her how she felt. She said she felt very connected to this and it made sense to her.

I asked to think about going to the park and we measured the intensity and it was at 3. I asked her if she wanted to lower this intensity and she said no because she felt she had to be a little bit guarded for the time being until she got use to how she felt. I then went on to her friends with dogs and the same thing applied with the intensity. Also the driving to work she said she felt better about and she would give it a go and see how she felt and tap if she needed it at the time.

I asked her what it was about a dog that could frighten her most now. She told me that it was the ones that were not under control on a lead and with a person.

I asked her how her body felt about thinking about that statement and she said that although she felt a bit anxious but she was ok. I asked her to measure the intensity of a bit anxious and she saw her hand at 3. We discussed if she wanted to reduce that feeling of anxiety to zero and she said yes but only to a 1 at the moment. She did the RARP and tapped the 8 points and measured the intensity and it was at 1. she said she was happy with all that at the moment and wanted to stop there as she still had some apprehension of actually going out and being around places with dogs.

I discussed with her this apprehension and she said it had been with her for so long maybe she did not know how to let it go. So I asked her if she wanted to do some rounds about her apprehension of letting go of her fear and she said yes. So she focused on the words of letting go. Measured the intensity and it was 5. RARP, tapped and measured intensity and it was a zero.

She then broke down in tears and said she was so happy and it seemed like a big weight in her body had gone. Now all that she had to do was go out and test it all. It was ok to think about it all but it had to be taken to the test. We discussed this and she said that she was all armed up to go and see and she could tap if she felt it at all as she was well clued up to do it herself. She said she felt so strong now and it would probably be a breeze.

I asked about her apprehension and she said that it was ok to be apprehensive as she could do something herself if she felt it was not ok. # But being apprehensive at this stage was acceptable to her.  She said she was really happy. As I was finishing this I receive a call and she told me that has been to the park and to Tescos with her partner and it had been great. There had been a dog tied up and she walked quite close to it and had for the first time in ages, done her shopping and had enjoyed it.

She was just a little concerned at first but that it had been fine and she had not had a knot in her stomach or anything. She has also been to her friends house. Her friend has a little dog and she had been able to sit with the dog in the doorway of the room. She said she was going to work on herself to actually stroke her friends dog  in a couple of days time and would let me know how she had done and if she had needed to tap just to check it all out with me that she was doing it correctly.
