Is your fear or phobia preventing you from living life to the fullest?

Phobias are extremely common, it is estimated that in the UK 10 million people have phobias. A phobia is an overwhelming and debilitating fear of an object, place, situation, feeling or animal. Simple phobias such as fear of going to the dentist , usually start during early childhood, often between the ages of four and eight.

Symptoms

A phobia can cause anxiety and stress and in severe cases a panic attack. There are many potential physical and psychological symptoms such as:

  • Sudden intense fear
  • Sweating
  • Heart palpitations
  • Chest pain
  • Dry mouth
  • Trouble breathing
  • Not being able to control your thoughts

For many people with a phobia the coping strategy is to simply avoid whatever it is they fear, example going on holiday abroad because of a fear of flying or walking in nature because of a fear of spiders.
