Phobias

Fear is a natural emotion that helps protect us from danger. It’s a normal part of the human experience. Phobias, on the other hand, involve fear that’s more extreme than the situation calls for and can affect a person’s ability to function 

Treatment for phobias

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) can help you manage fears by changing the way you think about the object, situation, or place that causes you distress. With CBT, you can learn to reshape the negative thoughts you have about your fears, helping you gain control.

Exposure Therapy – involves creating small goals to gradually exposing a person to their fears and seeing that fear and distress slowly subside through the steps.
