The unit was afraid of yellow. Napoleon cats and white horses. Hitchcock - subjects oval. And the hero of Ilf and Petrov horrified one only mentions black priests... Mysterious phobia afraid of us, adults and stress, much more than podkrovny babaika from a distant childhood. If you are afraid of elevators?
Phobia is a compulsive pathological fears. This sensation caused by phobias, being in the range from discomfort to an all-consuming terror. About phobias can speak only in the case when the fear is pathological, abnormal and do not have a logical explanation.
Most popular phobia - fear of closed or open spaces, crowds, flying, insects, animals and water. If this appeals to common sense are completely useless: tell aerophoba, according to statistics, the plane is the safest transport, and aeropos only will nod nervously. Logical arguments in this case completely ineffective.
Phobias often take bizarre forms. I know a calm, balanced girl, who while walking insanely afraid to fall and knock out his teeth. I once said that it's worth it to go outside, as it covers a very unpleasant sensations imaginary crunch of broken teeth. It is worth noting that such incidents in her life never happened, and she had no pathological pursuit of the ideal state of the oral cavity.
Rating of my own fears head elevators (apparently, I once beautifully imagined painful death in a bottomless granary) and metal rods that connect the buoys to the seabed. Strange hit parade of horror movies for the journalist, which faces the first and the second source of fear from the force a couple of times a year.
Phobias overcome people with good imagination. Is once present in all the colors fall on the pavement, followed by the crackle of your own teeth, such as feelings will begin to chase you regularly. Should truly feel "the Story of a real man", as you will begin to torment a real fear of losing his legs. Everything else the mind will do for you. It is helpful will begin to focus on each disabled person to pull the lines on a newspaper strip and, as if on purpose, as a "sign from above", to bring you in front of the TV, when there begins the transfer of the horrors of disability. And here is the obsessive fear of the Goths, in the best of its kind.
Women suffer from phobias twice more often than men. Almost every woman can list their secret fears. Psychologists explain this fact gender roles: the man is the breadwinner fear was absolutely impossible, otherwise hunting will fail, but the woman is the homemaker had to listen sensitively to the slightest noises. Now imagine what kind of monsters in the darkness was invented by our prehistoric grandmother, while men weeks was stalking predators...
Infection of fear
Need to get rid of from any phobias, even those that do not disrupt the usual way of life. The fact that phobia creates constantly increased background of nervous tension. You may not even notice, but is one phobia to take root in your subconscious mind, how it will be followed by the next. The subconscious is like striking infection: it understands that in the world there are many things which, for the sake of his own safety, is to be feared. Over time, phobias become stronger. Them energizes the previously described mechanism of characters, and at some point, the phobia can turn into paranoia.
In addition, the phobia can be infected. Once you sympathetic to feel those terrible sensations which are experienced by your friend arachnophobe as your relationship with spiders noticeably worse. It will take a little time and you will be able along with each other to share their fears. If you are aware of their increased susceptibility, always analyze the information you gather to bestow.
How to get rid of phobias?
To begin to understand what a phobia is the result of very serious work of your consciousness, and therefore this consciousness will be able to make the return journey. If you managed to cultivate a phobia, you can get rid of it. It is best to undergo therapy (the most effective method in this case will be psychoanalysis), but to achieve good results you can own.
Phobia is not just fear, but the fear is irrational and obsessive. Alas, the phobia will never leave you by itself, without your active work, so you have to carefully and regularly monitor harmful thoughts. It remains to be consoled by the fact that one only your decision to get rid of fear is half the work, while 99% of different kinds of fabav" find a thousand excuses to not to do this step. You have a huge advantage and obvious chances for success.
Learn in time to switch
As soon as you feel the approach of fear, do all to the thoughts took another direction. It is desirable that the intensity of the sensations it was not inferior to your fear. You can pinch yourself, can cause an inner laughter. Can recall his main dream or start worrying on any notional occasion. The main thing is to feel emotions. If emotional switching is not possible, take an active consciousness "recollection": for example, remember the formulas of chemical compounds and the names of the elements in the periodic table.
Purposefully sappinia itself
Behavioral therapy offers purposefully and regularly deal with their own fears, starting with small incentives. For example, in the case of fear of blood psychotherapists organize such sessions: hematopoi first consider pictures of blood, and then gradually learn to respond calmly to the blood present. Believe me, if you are afraid of snakes, but regularly look at the snake Park, over time you will get used to the source of its fear, as to your Pets.
Learn your own
As a rule, we are afraid of what have a very vague idea. So it is safe to say that most technophobic has no idea how to operate the appliances and what the laws of physics man was able to "tame". Haters spiders see them as bloodthirsty poisonous creatures and don't notice the poetic beauty of their webs. Learn more about the source of his fear, and fear will automatically start to fade. The strongest fears - the ones that we put inside in which you do not want to admit, and which not wish to know anything.
Get used to fear
This is a typical and universal visualization: tranquil and comfortable atmosphere imagine how to face the source of the phobia and remain completely undisturbed. Scroll the picture of your success regularly and repeatedly, and in order to evaluate the effect of their suggestion, from time to time go to the meeting your fear. The main thing - do not forget that you are well prepared for this moment and tune in to the fact that each time the fear will subside.
Look at the world through the eyes of a cockroach
This method is suitable for those who are afraid of insects, animals or birds. Imagine that you were to place the disgusting of centipedes: your life is among the pipes bathrooms, in constant expectation of mortal danger. Look at yourself through the eyes of an insect: you - a huge monster, mythical invincible giant... Who is stronger? You or it is a fragile insect? Only your Slippers seems to him to be something like a nuclear explosion.
And once I learned how with panic fear of cockroaches cope residents of the dormitories. Beginners they immediately warn you: do not to scream, not to run away and not hitting things with Newspapers right and left. You need to stay in place and to force myself to quietly observe cockroaches. After a week from any fear is not a trace remains. The Board of Amateurs from psychology to universal genius: none psychoanalyst will not boast such a quick result.
How terrible to live!
