Understanding Unreasonable Fear
Understanding Unreasonable Fear
Psychological
phobias are what most people think of when the term “phobia”
is mentioned; an intense and unreasonable fear, despite clear evidence that
such fear is not necessary. There are hundreds of different psychological
phobias that can appear in patients for different reasons. When a person has a
psychological phobia, they will often experience:
- Feelings of terror or dread
- Intense anxiety when near the object of the phobia
- Panic attacks
- Difficult in social situations (depending on the prevalence of the phobia)
It can be hard
to understand why a person with a psychological phobia is afraid or why they
act unreasonably, but that’s the nature of the phobia itself. If you or someone
you know has a psychological phobia, it can be very helpful to seek treatment
and to look for
therapy and counseling.
A psychological
phobia can be caused by a traumatic
experience, but no direct contact with the object of the phobia is
necessary. Many people will get arachnophobia, a fear of spiders, without ever
encountering a dangerous spider. Phobias usually begin as a person perceives
danger from a certain source. The person then amplifies that danger and begins
to obsess on the source of that danger.
There has been a
great deal of evidence to suggest that many phobias are caused by genetic
factors or by social pressures. A therapist will try to work with a patient with
psychological phobias to discover the reason for the condition, as
this is an essential step towards forming a treatment plan for persons with
phobias.
