Phobia and Management

PHOBIA is an irrational fear of an object or a situation that persists although the person may recognize it as unreasonable. Sometimes it is associated with anxiety if the object, situation or activity is inevitable. Mostly, the person who disposes any type of phobia displays repression and displacement as defense mechanisms.

Here is a list of common phobias . .


Managing Phobia:
1. Promote safety and security
2. Identify the cause of fear
3. Allow expression of feelings
4. Gradually introduce the individual to the feared object or situation in small doses.
5. Do not force the individaul to have contact with the feared of object, when the individual is not ready yet.
