Do you want to know how to face and conquer your fear or phobia? According to Fears

Introduction: Almost everyone has an irrational fear or two—of mice, for example, or your annual dental checkup. For most people, these fears are minor. But when fears become so severe that they cause tremendous anxiety and interfere with your normal life, they’re called phobias. A phobia is an intense fear of something that, in reality, poses little or no actual danger. Common phobias and fears include closed-in places, heights, highway driving, flying insects, snakes, and needles. However, we can develop phobias of virtually anything.

What is fear? Fear is something everyone should overcome. It is something that scares people out of their socks. For me fear was not such a big thing. I wasn’t scared of a lot of things, but one fear I have is the fear of big bugs. I was always scared of big bugs. Last year, I went to a cabin with my family and friends during Labor Day. When we got there we started unpacking and I went to the sink to wash my hands. When I was about to turn on the faucet, I saw a big centipede and I shrieked. I ran to my parents and told them, but when they came to the sink it was gone. That whole time when I was in the cabin I was terrified and I always looked out for centipedes. I know that it is possible to overcome my fear of big bugs but I am not ready now. Although, one day I am going to overcome that fear. Fear can only stop people from excelling in life. Don’t let one fear stop you from achieving something great.

A phobia is a absolute “NO”. Phobias aren't something you can simply get over. Second thing is second, write done your goals, how you want to overcome that fear, and when.

A phobia is something bigger than a fear. It is something that makes us internally cringe by just thinking of it. It’s that little thought that makes your heart race and your fingers tremble like a leaf during a storm. The reason you may have a phobia is because something traumatic happened to you during your childhood or even adulthood. You may also be afraid of something because the size of it, how dark it is, or it intimidates you.

The best treatment for phobias are a form of psychotherapy called exposure therapy and a combination of cognitive and behavioral therapy. Although occasionally your doctor may also recommend other therapies or even medications to which we have also seen satisfying results. Understanding the cause of their phobia is “actually less important than focusing on how to treat the avoidance behavior that has developed over time. The goal of treatment is to improve quality of life so that you're no longer limited by your phobias. As you learn how to better manage and relate to your reactions, thoughts and feelings, you'll find that your anxiety and fear are reduced and no longer in control of your life. Treatment is usually directed at one specific phobia at a time” (Specific phobias). By talking with mental health professionals you can help manage your phobia. Exposure therapy ultimately focuses on altering or changing your response to the specific situation(s) or object(s) that you fear. Repeated, gradual exposure to “the source of your specific phobia and the related thoughts, feelings and sensations may help you learn to manage your anxiety” (Specific phobias). CBT involves “exposure combined with other techniques to learn ways to view and cope with the feared object or situation differently. You learn alternative beliefs about your fears and bodily sensations and the

It was in December, during my Christmas vacation, when I decided to start looking for a summer job. There were many options but the job I decided to apply for was a position as a lifeguard at a waterpark. I filled out an application and was accepted almost immediately. The only thing left was the lifeguard training; little did I know that it was going to be an experience I would never forget.

I remember the embarrassing moment a friend of mine went through in class a few years ago, when she had organized some chronological images on the wall. The instructor completely tore her work apart because of her way of organization. Now in the world of design, most teachers get very upset when the work is hung crocked on the wall. But this was not the case with my friend. Her work was simply torn apart because of the direction she hung her pictures. Now most people in class, including the teacher and even herself weren’t aware of the fact that she simply did that because she came from a middle eastern country where everything is organized from right to left. But I was well familiar with this problem. In fact, I grew up learning three languages at the same time in school. At age seven, I was learning to read and write in Persian, Assyrian, and English. In the beginning, it would take me a minute to remember which way to start from when writing an essay. For those of you who might not be familiar with these languages, Persian and Assyrian start from the right side of the line moving to the left and eventually to the bottom of the page. The numeric characters however, start from the left, and so does English. All these rights and lefts confused me very much, and yet, when I found out that some Asian languages had a top-to-bottom directionality, my mind was blown away.
