Phobia Counseling
“It is not Death that a Man should fear,
But He should fear never beginning to Live.”
- Marcus Aurelius
Why are we afraid of something? What is phobia?
It is a mental state of uncontrolled awareness. Fear is known and phobia is unknown.
Known fear can be controlled easily. For instance, we are afraid of wild animals like the lion, so we avoid going in front of it. However, there are certain unknown fears like the lift fear, plane fear, fear of height, water, fire, etc. Some of us have public fear, stage fear, study fear etc.
Let us take the example of lift.
We know very well that a lift is safe. We have witnessed that there will not be any problem inside a lift. We have seen people entering into and coming out of the lift safely. Still, due to an unknown fear, we just fear to enter into the lift.
Why is so? We know that every one of us has some or the other kind of fear in our life. Only the Woods people are known to be fearless. They would face any animal known or unknown bravely.
Fear keeps us warned and alarmed. It corrects your risk-taking capacity. If there is no fear, one can go off the track easily. To some extent, fear is good, but it should not be so uncontrolled that you forget to live.
What is Phobia?
When the duration of one’s fear lingers, it builds a permanent shelter in our mind – from Conscious to Subconscious.
It slowly converts into a phobia, making our life painful and traumatic. We should act on fear immediately. In extreme cases, phobia creates depression or other severe mental illness.
To understand it let us take the same example of lift.
The fear of entering into lift becomes so powerful that we start fearing about it while thinking – it is phobia. We start creating hypotheses around it and start to believe strongly what we think. Our subconscious mind records it deeply and affects our logical mind, forcing us to behave as a psychiatric patient.
Happy and joyful life is your right not the mercy of mind. You should control your mind rather than your mind controls you.
Fighting your fear or phobia is the first step to a happy and contented life. We will help you get out of it.
