The monsters under my bed : fears and phobias.
Fear. Everyone knows what it is and what it can do to them. It is a primal instinct ever since human beings were created. We thrive and protect ourselves with it. Humans like to be scared, we love watching horror films and we enjoy the rush of adrenaline that is a roller coaster ride. But if this...

| description | Fear. Everyone knows what it is and what it can do to them. It is a primal instinct ever
since human beings were created. We thrive and protect ourselves with it. Humans like to be
scared, we love watching horror films and we enjoy the rush of adrenaline that is a roller
coaster ride. But if this fear is not controlled, it can take over our entire lives. And that is when
we have a phobia.
A phobia is an irrational fear and one that is hard to manage. We cannot help but fear a
certain situation or object, to the point of behaving impractically by going out of our way to
avoid it. That is when it takes over us, and we either learn to live with it and inconveniencing
both ourselves and others, or seek treatment, which is in itself a huge step to take, especially
for really anxious people.
Many adults have fears that originate from childhood, e.g. a common fear of monsters
underneath the bed can lead to a lifelong fear of robbers and burglars. Over time, these fears
usually fade or manifest in such a way that is controllable, however, they can sometimes turn
into a full-fledged phobia. |
