Most fears are learned. Some of these are useful, e.g., the fear of touching a hot saucepan. Other fears appear to not be useful; such fears are considered irrational. We know them as phobias.
A phobia is an anxiety about a person, place or thing, which:
- is out of proportion to any actual danger,
- cannot be reasoned or explained away,
- appears silly to the sufferer, but
- cannot be voluntarily controlled, and
- leads to avoidance of what is feared.
Now, with Dr Knight's new ebook, you can free yourself from phobia (and the anxiety and panic attacks that often accompany the fear).
