Fears & Phobias

Many of us are subject to irrational fears and phobias that could be about almost anything.  The mind has probably at some stage linked the feared object or situation with danger, or some other powerful emotion such as disgust.  One may not be aware of when a phobia began or what the link might be, but it is still likely to be able to be resolved in therapy.  Some common phobias are: to enclosed or wide open spaces, spiders, snakes, needles, heights, water, birds, social situations, vomiting, etc.
