All About Phobias: What, Why And How
Causes
of
Phobias:
No
exact
cause
of
phobias
has
yet
been
discovered.
Probably
because
of
the
varied
nature
of
these
strange
fears
it
is
a
herculean
task
to
determine
their
exact
cause.
However,
there
are
some
well
researched
hypothesis
about
the
causes
of
phobias
that
cover
almost
all
about
phobias.
- Family: Some phobias have been observed to be running in families. This is because the family is the first influence on a child and phobias are developed in childhood. For example, if one of your parents has an irrational fear of foreigners or migrants (xenophobia), it might permeate to you. The connection between object and phobia is all about emotions not genetics.
- Cultural: Some fears are a product of the culture we grow up in. For example the western religions consider 'snakes' to be vicious creatures due to their mythological connection with Satan. Being bred in such a faith may cause phobia of snakes.
- Personal Experiences: this is by far the strongest cause of phobias as explains the specific nature of phobias. If you were stuck in a dark cupboard as a child you have the potential to develop claustrophobia.
Symptoms
of
Phobias:
It
is
the
symptoms
of
phobias
that
set
them
apart
from
normal
fears.
For
example,
it
is
normal
to
experience
some
anxiety
while
fly
be
it
the
first
time
or
not.
However,
a
person
who
has
phobia
of
flying
will
refuse
a
job
offer
abroad
because
they
have
to
fly!The
reaction
of
a
phobic
person
to
the
object
or
condition
of
fear
is
psychosomatic.
This
means
that
psychological
fear
triggers
physical
symptoms
like
- asphyxiation, strained breathing
- sweating profusely
- palpitation
- in some extreme cases the symptoms of phobia may include fainting
Types
of
Phobias:
It
is
near
impossible
to
list
all
about
phobias.
However
there
are
certain
groups
of
phobias
and
some
strange
phobias
that
don't
fall
under
any
category.
- Animal-phobias: Snakes, dogs, cats, rats, spiders etc.
