Common phobias

by Marygrace Anderson

We have all seen the list of absurd and ridiculous phobias:

• Consecotaleophobia – The fear of chopsticks
• Euphobia - The fear of good news, hearing good news
• Melophobia - The fear of music
• Soceraphobia - The fear of parents-in-law
• Arachibutyrophobia - The fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth
• Metrophobia - The fear of poetry
• Olfactophobia - The fear of smells or odours
• Heliophobia - The fear of the sun or sunlight

There are in fact only two phobias we are born with, fear of loud noises and falling over, which, we believe, are caused by the natural reflexes we experience as babies. This is great news! This actually means you created your own fear and therefore, you can stop it as well!

When I get a call from a client, they will tell me they have a fear of flying. They do not say, I have aerophobia, aviatophobia, aviophobia or pteromerhanophobia. The same applies to people who suffer any fear.

In my personal experience, I have treated a wide range of people with many types of fear: social situations; speaking in public; cats; spiders; performing concerts in public; taking exams; the dark; urinating in public places; loud noises; flying; dating, to name but a few.

The thing is, no fear is ridiculous or stupid if it is truly ruining your enjoyment of life. The other important point is that you are not alone! Many people believe they are the only sufferer even with the most popular phobias. We all have fears, but if the fear is preventing you from doing an activity, you should seek help. A characteristic of phobias is that it can spread into other phobias. Children can also “learn” fears from their parents. So if your mother hated going in lifts, the likelihood of you developing a fear of lifts will increase as well.

So I encourage you now to face your fear and challenge it. Fear hates change, laughter and losing. So stand up and say over and over to yourself:

“I am no longer going to tolerate this fear! I can and will stop it by the power of my own thoughts. I created it in my mind and I will stop it now with my own mind.”

What are you afraid of?

by Marygrace Anderson

We all have, to some degree, a fear of something. Phobias can range from the very common:

• Altophobia- fear of height
• Aviophobia – fear of flying
• Arachnophobia - fear of spiders

To the uncommon:

• Alliumphobia - fear of garlic
• Allodoxaphobia - fear of opinions
• Amathophobia - fear of dust

And those are just a few of the "A’s"! There are literally thousands of recognized phobias and some are even culture specific or considered just superstitions.

The point is, it doesn’t matter where it came from, how silly or ridiculous it seems, if it is true to you, it is very serious. I have had a client so afraid of cats, that she ran into traffic to avoid it, literally putting her life in danger.

The great thing about phobias, for the majority of people, is that are very easy to treat. With a few simple techniques, you can learn how to get a hold of the fear, change it and get back on track with your life…minus the fear.

Halloween

by Marygrace Anderson

Halloween is a great time for me. One, I love it – seriously I am a pumpkin every year. It makes me happy and people who see me. Second, I get a lot of people who what to get over phobias. Don’t get me wrong. I get a phobia sufferers all year round, but around Halloween, there is an increase in fear of spider, kids with fear of the dark and separation from parents issues. Also claustrophobics and fear of flying is also common now (people getting ready for Christmas flights I suspect). Anyway, the majority over come their fears in 1 session. So do yourself a favor and get rid of the stupid phobia now. So you can enjoy Halloween next year with out it.
