Looking For A Fast Phobia Cure

Posted on November 23, 2009 @ 3:07 pm

Is there really a fast phobia cure or do you have to spend the better part of your adult life trying to figure out how to get past your phobias? No matter how deeply rooted your fears are, you can change their power at any given time. It might not feel that way, but once you experience the fast phobia cure you will never look at fear the same way again.
For instance, two little girls get bit by the same dog. One little girl grows up with a dog phobia but the other one ends up owning three dogs and even volunteers for rescue organizations, putting her in the midst of dogs with social problems. What is the difference? The beliefs that were given to each little girl right after the dog bite.
When we teach children to respect the spider because she helps to keep the mosquito population under control, a child might not develop a deep love for the spider, but they can move past fear into respect. Which could be all that is needed to overcome the fear or there may be some extra help that’s necessary.
One of the easiest ways to find a fast phobia cure is to simply change the belief system on which the phobia was built. Fear of fire because you know it can destroy quickly? Education about the causes and preventative measures associated with fires can help you believe that you are safe from fires.
If you have a fear of water then learning to swim and understanding the natural life that is within that water can be enough to convince you that you are safer in the water than you are in the car.
Phobias are not irrational, but an exacerbated fear developed from a belief that is not based in solid fact. Just like the spider might not thrill you, if you know all about her and why she is important you respect her versus fearing her. The same applies to phobias that relate to just about any aspect of life. Changing it is within your own power.
