phobia. : is when a person experiences intense fear and
avoidance, although it is known to be absurd. It is formed by classical conditioning and continues with operant conditioning. It is considered in the
group of anxiety disorders and can be seen together with depression and anxiety disorders
. Then the phobia can be experienced more severely.
Traumas and some negative experiences can cause it. Whatever the phobic
object is, it is a bad encounter. Sometimes
may occur with the activation of childhood fears and a
> may have triggered the trigger.
It may be that the suppressed anxieties and conflicts arise with a symbolic situation and object
. There is a situation where the feelings of helplessness are activated
the person feels helpless in the face of that situation and there is a situation of catastrophizing.
People experience too many traumatic situations in life
and over time, traumatic situations turn into phobia. it can turn into
causing the person to experience avoidance and fear.
We have too many fears in life. Fear of rejection,
fear of not being loved, fear of not being successful, fear of not being accepted
, fear of being disapproved, and more.
The object of anxiety is in the inner world, while the object of fear is in the outer world. The use of fear as a training tool
creates an infrastructure
. Now, when you look at your childhood like this
let's see what your fears were. In childhood, how
what they used to scare you with, what they would often say, and the sentences you can't get out of your mind
and the scare moments are still in your memory
.
In some cases, people have a bad
fear inducing objects. They have been exposed to br /> ways and experienced fear.
A fusion has occurred between fear and that object, and it has become the object of fear
. Whenever the person encounters that object
, he/she begins to experience restlessness, panic, helplessness, intense anxiety
and shows avoidance behavior. With the
avoidance of the person, the relief he feels, albeit a little, causes this
fear to consolidate and settle. At the following
times, every time it encounters it, the avoidance
becomes automatic. (Fear of harm and death accompanies this condition.) If this condition persists for more than six months, it is
a fear that will not go away without treatment and has turned into a phobia.
Phobias can be easily treated and psychotherapy is an effective method
Although br /> in some cases, this process can be supported with anti
depressants prescribed by psychiatrists. The galvanic skin reactions were measured by showing the moment pictures
. As a result,
it has been seen that animals that are feared in nature such as crocodiles, snakes, tigers
even though they have never seen it, babies have an element of fear
.
Well, they are programmed to protect us from pain and survive. whatever the mind
, sometimes it becomes the source of pain. Why does the mind enslave the person
and the person surrenders to the thoughts that he cannot control.
Phobias are uncontrollable and can cause panic. The person may begin to organize his/her life around this
fear, and the person's functionality
may deteriorate over time.
Usually those with phobia do not attempt to seek treatment for it,
but if there are other accompanying problems it is because of them
they may attempt to receive treatment.
The incidence in women is higher than in men. The most common
are animal phobia and height phobia.
Agoraphobia can be classified as social phobia and specific phobias.
Let's look at what happens when the person encounters the object of which he or she is phobic: Palpitation , sweating, flushing, burning sensation,
tremor, cold sweat, blurred vision, shortness of breath, dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, stomach pain, unconsciousness, nervous breakdown
and fainting or shock symptoms are observed.
Which of these symptoms will be seen and their severity varies from person to person
.
Here, there is an extreme sensitivity to possible danger and harm has occurred. It forces people to avoid
and take precautions. Over time, precautions increase and
the person's life may begin to be restricted. If it is an object that he/she has to encounter frequently and
is frequently found around his/her living space, this feared
object can make his life quite difficult. There is also a genetic component to the phobia, and some people
are more prone to develop it.
Children who are prone to fear and worry about everything
may have inherited this condition from their parents. Avoidant
people are more prone to develop phobias than assertive people.
In therapy, usually
striving (fast and slow) and summoning fear
invoking fear (reverse intention) are behavioral
Parents who overreact by exaggerating the danger and take precautions are presenting a model to their children. This model
creates a predisposition for people to develop phobias. The incidence of
in the society is 6% and it is perceived as a habit, not a disease. Fear
has found a new object symbolically. Phobias can also be a situation where floating
wandering anxiety sometimes finds a cover for itself and is attached to a
place. The person is aware that this fear
is absurd, but cannot control and prevent
. Phobias can trigger panic attacks. In the unstable
disordered family, the overprotective family model, the very
agitated and trembling family model, the parents
unwittingly impose fear on the children and place the belief that the children
are actually weak.
People who encounter the phobic object cannot act in the face of fear
and their activity is lost and they experience despair.
