Phobias
What is a phobia?
It is a persistent irrational fear of and desire to avoid a specific object, activity or situation and this sense of fear is out of proportion to the real danger and can happen not only in the presence of an object or situation but also when you think about them.
A phobia is often an extremely intense negative feeling of fear which is triggered by a situation or object with doesn't actually pose a real threat to your safety. You have heard of someone or something “pushing your buttons”, well this happens when your (wrongly in place) fear buttons are pressed and you react as if you were under threat of danger.
Common with many phobias, is the feeling of loss of control in the given situation and this brings stress and anxiety and often full scale panic. You will then avoid the situation or object which brings these feelings and when you avoid it (and don't get these feelings of anxiety) this serves to re-enforce the link between the object or situation, and the fear.
