Phobias by Erik Fishner Pdf

The majority of people perceive phobia as a state of fear possessing an actual danger to a person. However, in reality, phobias cause little or no harm to a person involved. Phobias in many instances go underreported as people feel weird or unusual bring it forward. As a result, they end up boosting their fears. A phobia can transform a person's life into an endless cycle filled with defensive actions to cope with the feared situation. It can ruin one's social life, business, career, and even interpersonal relationships. The book delivers a strong message to its readers that the fear associated with phobias is not permanent. Rather than being depressed and disoriented, it's time to take on your fear and get over it. Do you know that a person can be terrified by even dryness, walking, cooking, prolong wait, or gravity? The world of phobia contains both common and uncommon phobias. The book enlists more than 100 phobias that can unsettle a person's life completely. Phobias force people into a vicious cycle that repeats again and again until one learns to break it. Due to the nerve-wracking experience, people often change their lifestyles radically or go for great lengths to make them less vulnerable to their phobias. The book strongly emphasizes on the fact that no matter how extreme one's fear might be, it is very much treatable and can be tackled to prevent it from ruining one's life. Dedicated efforts have been made in the book to cover numerous effective treatments available such Self-help techniques, personal counseling, systematic desensitization, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychotherapy, and medications. The book extensively covers various aspects associated with phobias and serves as a source of inspiration to overcome them. Escaping is not a solution to anything; it's time to face your fear, and eradicate it. After all, it's not worth living in fears!!
