This fear sometimes is caused by our past experiences or the experiences of others that we might have seen or heard. It's not wrong to experience such fear once in a while, the problem is allowing such fear to limit us or prevent us from taking action.<\/p><p>One good way to deal with this type of fear is to find it's root. When you know what is causing the fear, you would know how to address. Find the cause and tackle it head on. Most fears only exist in our imagination. Try to find something good or positive to replace the thought stirring such fear and it would go away with time<\/p>"}" |

I could search some fancy techniques on google and share them in here but I will better give you my personal example and how I am still working on this problem. Last year I've begun having panic attacks and dizziness out of the sudden and didn't knew what they were. I even felt fear getting out of the house and live normally so I went to my doctor. I've done some blood tests, some EKGs and so on and nothing was out of the normal on the charts but I wasn't feeling good and I was fearing of all sorts of diseases thus my doctor sent me to a psychiatrist and talked about my problems. The lady was very nice and explained me how this things worked and she refused to give me any medication. Instead she told me to face my fears and do the exact opposite of fear. If I would fear going out to a restaurant because before I had the sensation of passing out and feeling dizzy I would now had to go and confront the fear and see what happens. It's amazing and funny at the same time, but I haven't passed out although I lived with this feeling for good months. I would still have the symptoms that I mentioned about but every time I would get home and everything would be OK. However I had to face that fear which was obviously irrational and had to defeat it. I have these symptoms sometimes nowadays also, but not on the same intensity but facing that fear so many times they don't have the same effect. The important thing however to your topic is to realize that your fear is actually irrational and not something you should really fear about. If for example you have fear of speaking in public you should face it and see how it works. You could start with a smaller audience and gradually increase your exposure but ultimately if the fear is irrational has to be faced and most often will be conquered. Most of our fears have no relevance and are created around mind made scenarios thus we have to confront them and conquer them. What is mind created will always be mind destroyed. It's just on us to face such fears and go beyond them. Try and face yours and see what I am talking about. Don't take irrational risks though. <\/p>"}" |

However, it does not mean that we do not perceive them as real and of course, we live them as such.<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>For that reason they affect us so much and we must treat them as what they are: false alarms.<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>Faced with such a situation, the first thing is to identify it, and then act according to it. You must recognize it and take action in a different way to how your brain \"deceived\", suggests you.<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>Tell yourself that the event is not what it seems and dispose the action in the appropriate \"real\" way and you will overcome it.<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>Most of these fears, once exceeded, no longer affect you.<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>Every man, if he proposes it, can be a sculptor of his own brainCajal<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>Many go in life with the heavy suitcase of beliefs that originated at some point in life, usually in childhood where the power of discernment is not established and that for different reasons or events are established as truths in life, and can reach to do a lot of damage<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>Associations are established by complex defense mechanisms that when posed as absolute truths and not subject to subsequent validation can give rise to phobias, discomfort, problems of self-esteem, emotional decontrol, inadequate attitudes for obtaining inner peace, among others.<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>Let's see two examples:<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 People who develop anorexia because of the pain of enduring the mockery and humiliation of others in relation to their overweight; in this case the pain of non-acceptance can lead them to \"blame\" the food of pain (instead of understanding that the responsibility was the rejection of those beings who enjoyed the mockery), having then phobia to feed even though that behavior can lead to death.<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Believe that all men or women are evil and perverse because of bad experiences lived with one or some of them instead of understanding what made them select inadequately; In this way, responsibility is projected on the outside and there is avoidance of the possibility of having new possibilities of relationship.<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>In this way, a negative internal dialogue is generated within us, which limits us as a product of those meaningless or irrational beliefs that were created in a mistaken way in a moment of life, believing that with them we would protect ourselves.<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>Albert Ellis, Doctor in Psychology and creator of Rational Emotive Therapy, points out that most people have thinking errors that are:<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Ignore the positive<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Exaggerating the negative<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Generalize<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>How to identify irrational beliefs?<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>The way to achieve it is from the observation, paying the maximum attention since, when considering them absolute truths we do not usually submit them to test. The focal point is that they tend to be dogmatic, absolute, linked to everything or nothing, always or never, that is, they are handled as absolute truths, and from there anything that happens other than what we believe produces immense emotional damage.<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>Once identified you can work on them questioning their absolute nature, looking for evidence and understanding that in life nothing is absolute so emotional well-being requires not only that we understand the relativity of it but to understand that everything changes, sometimes we are up and others below, sometimes we achieve what we expect and sometimes we do not, and even then, it is not only perfect but it is the nature of this experience called life.<\/p>\n<p>Less frustration, more understanding and improvement.<\/p>","app":"Musing","appTitle":"How to treat irrational fear?","appParentAuthor":"stmitbackpacker","musingAppVersion":"1.1","appTags":["fear"],"musingPostType":"answer","appParentPermlink":"pkycr7v4x","appCategory":"fear","appDepth":2}" |
