Fear or fright is a natural reaction to something which appears to be physically threatening or dangerous. When this reaction becomes so intense that it is uncontrollable and out of all proportion to the actual danger, it can cause extreme physical and emotional reaction and panic. If this happens to you it will interfere with your enjoyment of everyday life and your ability to carry out daily tasks. This type of reaction is a phobia

There are many different types of phobia, too many to list here so I have listed a few which are most common:

Lots of people have phobias. Some are more unusual, but any phobia is a huge burden and will cause you a lot of distress. You will probably go to great lengths to avoid the object or experience which triggers your reaction.
Although the cause of the phobia will seem obvious, phobias are really about a fear of feeling out of control; situations which make you feel out of control will trigger a phobic reaction.

Phobias can be cured. I can help you with gentle effective therapy; help you to put experiences from the past into context, allowing you to understand events with an adult perspective. Children absorb blame and accept reponsibility for bad experiences, once you begin to let this go and feel differently about yourself the symptoms of anxiety you are experiencing will begin to disappear.
