Phobias
A phobia or morbid fear is an irrational, intense, persistent fear of certain situations, activities, things, or people. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. When the fear is beyond one's control, or if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the anxiety disorders can be made.
**There are many different types of phobias; some are caused by actuall events that have triggered a reaction. Others seem to have no reason as to why they are present. But all are a natural reaction to a perceived threat; the body produces the phobic reaction to prevent the person coming into contact with the "dangerous" event or object.
**We can deal with this by removing the fear of the event or object, by convincing the subconscious that there really is no threat, and by removing the association of fear to that trigger. (A trigger is the thing or event that causes the reaction ie, spider, open spaces)
**No phobia is too strange, no mater what you think, remember, it is only a natural reaction to a perceived threat.

The Fast phobia cure

In most cases a phobia can be "cured" in 20 minutues by using various tools to replace the fearful feeling with more beneficial ones. This has been proven time and time again to be very succesful, and people who experience this were initially very sceptical, and then almost shocked at the disapearance of the fear.

However in some cases it may take a few sessions of deeper work if the initial cause of the phobia was more traumatic. But nevertheless, with perceverance the phobia will be cured, and you can get on with your life.
