"The Fear of being out of control?"
Phobia and Phobia Treatment

The whole purpose of our web site is to help educate and guide you in your search for answers. We want to teach you how to take control of your anxiety symptoms whether they come in the form of panic attacks, agoraphobia, a phobia, or obsessive compulsive disorder.

Behind all these anxiety symptoms is the issue of fear - the fear of being out of control over some person place or thing. We find ourselves overwhelmed and shaken because of real or perceived trauma or personal crises. We feel a sense of dread or feel out of control.

One of the most important things I can do is help you understand fear, which brings us to the discussion of phobias.

What is a phobia and how we go about offering phobia treatment?

A phobia is a strong, persistent fear of a situation, object, person, place or activity which has become excessive, and causes a person to avoid the feared subject. When the fear reaches a point where it is beyond one's control, or if the fear interferes with daily life, a diagnosis of phobia under what we call anxiety disorders can be made. Phobia treatment is a specialized procedure. Phobia treatment involves teaching the client to learn how to face their fears. We carefully lay out reasonable steps, rather than excessive exposure, with persistent and frequent exposure to their source of fear.. Phobia treatment also requires you understand the nature of the client's personality. How a client has learned to see the world and deal with that world from childhood has huge implications as to the development of fear or a phobia. If phobia treatment does not include investigating the sources of the fear or phobia and then deal with its symptoms, the phobias can return and may present in another form. Phobia treatment must be focused. Phobia treatment must be individualized and tailored to the client's individual needs, issues and conflicts.
