Do you have a fear of crossing the bay bridge?
How about closed in spaces, or needles, or flying?
Phobias are irrational, persistent fears
of certain situations, objects, activities or persons that impact our quality of life. In some cases, our fears can even be life threatening! I'm sure that you have heard to term "frozen with fear".
It has been estimated that
almost 8% of adults and 10-15% of children suffer from phobias
with women having more phobias than men.
Phobias come in three main
groups:
- Specific (simple) phobias, which are the
most common and focus on specific objects often can be
traced back to a specific event or experience at an early
age
- Social phobia, which causes
extreme anxiety in social or public situations, and
- Agoraphobia, which is the fear of being
alone in public places from which there is no easy escape.
Phobias vary in intensity
from individual to individual and even though most individuals
know that the fear is irrational, they are powerless to
overide their initial panic reaction.
