Everyone has at least one thing they fear. Fear can be a helpful emotion when it protects us from some danger or harm. Sometimes the fear is excessive or unrealistic. Some people fear flying in airplanes, some people fear needles, or the sight of blood, others fear public speaking or dogs. When the fear becomes intense, a person avoids the feared object or situation. Sometimes this avoidance behavior begins to interfere with their daily routine. The more one avoids feeling the fear, the stronger the avoidance behavior becomes. Eventually, someone might not travel in airplanes even if it meant closing a very important business deal or would never go into a hospital even to visit a loved one. Here is a tool for combating fear that begins to interfere with your daily living. Fear is helpful when it protects us from some danger or harm but when we misperceive the situation then there is no need for fear. In order to correct the perception remember this:
In order to break free of fear, you need to get more information about the situation and look for the evidence that would justify taking action. If you don't think you are perceiving the situation correctly, get help from someone else you can trust. Then rely on what you know not what you feel to guide your actions. If you need an objective person to help determine the reality of the situation or if you need help knowing the appropriate actions to take, then counseling can help. If there is some fear controlling your life you can break free. Through talking about the fear and its source and consequences, you can gain control over your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Try counseling because There is Hope.
