Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy helps to reprogram your subconscious “programs” that may be part of your fear. When these programs are “de-bugged” the symptoms of Mysophobia often are minimized. However, some people don’t like the feeling of loss of control in allowing someone else to play with their personal “software”. Hypnotherapy is save and works fast.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

NLP is basically the study and practice of how we create our reality. From the NLP viewpoint, a phobia is the result of your programs or “constructs” that you have created that don’t work very well. With NLP, these constructs are revealed and “re-programmed” so that the Mysophobia is minimized and often eliminated. Usually the interventions are quite rapid and effective.
Energy Psychology

Energy Psychology is emerging as an excellent therapy for fears and phobias because in studies it is shown to be rapid, safe, effective and long-lasting. It is based on a theory and practice that has been around for a couple of thousand years. It has the same foundation or roots as acupuncture, except in this case there are no needles used. You could call it emotional acupuncture – without the needles. Recent scientific studies have shown it to be very effective.
Energy Psychology combines the benefits of the above treatment therapies.
You quickly and easily change your behaviors.
You are active in your own recovery.
You are in control.
Your thought patterns change, often very quickly.
You are able to relax.
You develop skills and techniques that are useful for a lifetime in all situations.
==============================================
There are several treatments available for mysophobes that, if followed actively, can have long-term benefits on the individual’s quality of life. The safest and most effective treatments employ the same techniques used for the treatment of OCD and other types of phobias, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). With CBT, the therapist guides sufferer through a series of gradual exposures to feared items and situations. Early sessions of therapy may involve having the individual shake someone’s hand without washing it for five minutes. As the person learns to master the fear, the therapist will guide the sufferer through more intense exposures, such as touching garbage or shaking the hands of hospital patients. This type of treatment is extremely effective and, if properly administered, works after just a few months.
Medication is also an effective option, and will often involve the use of SSRI antidepressant drugs, such as Paxil, Prozac, or Zoloft. Medication is a good adjunct to CBT as it may make the therapy easier for the individual. However, medication may have unwanted side effects and is also not a permanent cure.
Unproven treatments include hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming, and so-called “energy psychology.” Avoid any unproven techniques until CBT and medication have been given an adequate trial.
