It turns out that fears can lead to real suffering and prevent happiness. Therefore, they must be overcome.

Some fears can be difficult to identify, realize. Their causes lie even deeper in the subconscious. Sometimes, in order to find the source of a phobia, one has to deal with an individual’s distant childhood or even study the history of his genus. However, if clinical cases are discarded, some fears can even be handled independently. And the first step to this is to realize that you are afraid of something.

Accept your fear and do not be ashamed of it. By reason you are able to understand its meaninglessness, but this knowledge may not affect your essence. Keep in mind that fear is an emotion, and feelings cannot immediately be influenced from the standpoint of rationality or practicality. As soon as you stop struggling with yourself and try to stifle fear within yourself, when you start working with a phobia, it will become easier for you.

Try to get rid of fear with the help of visualization. Prepare a pen and a piece of paper. Close your eyes and imagine a stressful situation for you when the subject of your fear surrounds you. Try to portray your fear on paper. Draw all the details. Then tear the leaf into small pieces and burn the drawing.

Meet your fear face to face if you are willing to try to defeat her. Believe that you can say goodbye to her once and for all. Let a reliable, close person be near you. For example, if you are afraid of heights to dizziness and trembling knees, climb up to the high floor and look down from the window. At the same time, nothing will really threaten your life. Time after time you will come closer to your phobia, increasing the distance to the ground and the time you are at altitude, until in the end you defeat fear and jump with a parachute.
