Do you experience a sudden crippling fear, triggered by an object, situation, or an animal? Perhaps you understand that your response is out of proportion with the actual threat, but it doesn’t stop your reaction? These may be signs of phobias that you haven’t yet addressed.
Phobias can be extremely severe, affecting your life in some extremely negative ways. Some people organise their entire life after avoiding a situation that triggers their phobia, making a simple task like popping out to the shops a distressing situation.
Do I have a phobia?
A range of situations and objects trigger people’s phobias.
Some examples of common phobias are:
- Animal – spiders, rodents, birds, dogs, for example
- Bodily fluids – vomit, mucus, blood, or injections
- Environmental – heights, water, germs
- Sexual – performance anxiety, STIs
- Situational – flying, going to the dentist or doctor
More complex phobias include:
- Agoraphobia – fear of crowded and/or open spaces
- Claustrophobia – fear of confined spaces
- Social phobia – also known as social anxiety; fear of social situations
