Phobias

Reduce Your Anxiety



A phobia is an intense fear of a specific object, place, situation, or animal. Examples of phobias may be a fear of heights, insects, traveling, getting sick, or natural events, like thunderstorms.

Having a phobia can greatly impact your life and lead you to avoid certain things in order to avoid experiencing anxiety. However, this avoidance can also interfere with your ability to engage in your life to the fullest.
