״If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.״
Marcus Aurelius
What is a phobia ?
A phobia is an intense, irrational fear of a specific object, situation or activity that poses little to no real danger. They can significantly impact a persons daily life, leading to avoidance behaviours and emotional distress.
Those of us who have experienced a phobic reaction know only too well how
different it is from simply being scared or disliking something. Many of us dislike
spiders. We may even ask someone else to deal with one when it in our house.
However for some one who experiences a phobia, the physical and emotional
symptoms triggered can be utterly overwhelming. And if the subject of your
phobia is commonly occurring, it is not unusual for people to organise their lives
around avoiding it.
