Fears and phobias

Spiders make me scream.

Being in crowds makes me sweat.

Flying makes me shake like a leaf.

Going to the dentist and injections make me want to run away.

What is Fear? Fear is one of the most basic human emotions. We need it to survive. Fear helps protect us. It can be like a warning, a signal for us to be careful. The brain reacts instantly on danger, sending signals that activate the nervous system. Blood pumps to muscle groups to prepare the body for physical reaction – Fight or flight

What is a phobia? A phobia is an intense fear reaction to a particular thing or situation. Some phobias develop when someone has a scary experience and every time a strong fear reaction is triggered. Having a phobia isn’t a sign of weakness or immaturity. It’s a response of the brain In an attempt to protect the person.
