If your phobia is cynophobia what is your fear? | Cynophobia - Fear of Dogs Cynophobia By Lisa Fritscher - Reviewed by a board-certified physician. Updated November 16, 2016 Cynophobia, or fear of dogs, is an extremely common specific phobia. Although snake and spider phobias are even more prevalent, the average person is far more likely to encounter dogs in his daily life. A phobia of dogs can be devastating, limiting the sufferer's contact with dog-owning relatives and curtailing her normal activities. Causes of Cynophobia Like most animal phobias , fear of dogs is most commonly caused by a negative experience with a dog, especially during childhood. Both children and dogs are naturally curious, and most of us have been jumped on by an overexcited puppy or growled at by a large watchdog as we approached a fence. A large dog can make a major impression on a small child, even if no actual attack occurred. The negative experience need not have affected you directly. Many parents warn children about approaching strange dogs. A child's fertile imagination combined with an incomplete or even erroneous understanding of dog behavior could lead to a full-blown phobia of dogs. If a friend or relative was attacked by a dog, or a parent harbored an unhealthy fear, the risk of developing cynophobia is increased. Symptoms of Cynophobia Like all phobias, the fear of dogs can vary dramatically in severity from person to person. You might fear only large breeds. You may be uncomfortable around live dogs but be perfectly content to view dogs in photographs or TV shows. Likewise, the symptoms of cynophobia can also vary. Common reactions include running away, freezing in terror and attempting to hide. You might shake, feel nauseated or disoriented or even begin to cry. Anticipatory anxiety frequently occurs in the days leading up to a known confrontation. Complications of Cynophobia Because dogs are so popular as pets and companions, avoiding them can be nearly impossible. You might find yourself limiting contact with dog owners, even to the point of avoiding family gatherings. You may be unable to enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking or camping, since many outdoor enthusiasts bring their dogs. Over time, your normal routine may become extremely restricted as you attempt to prevent any accidental contact with a dog. This increasing isolation can lead to depression and other anxiety disorders . Some people develop social phobia and even agoraphobia as they become more and more unwilling to leave their homes. Treating Cynophobia Like all animal phobias, the fear of dogs responds quite well to treatment. Cognitive-behavioral techniques such as systematic desensitization and flooding are designed to help remove the fear and encourage more helpful coping skills . Although these techniques are traditionally performed using live dogs, some research indicates that active-imaginal exposure may work just as well. If you are given this type of treatment, you will be encouraged to act out positive behaviors such as approaching and petting a dog. Instead of interacting with a live dog, however, you will vividly imagine the dog. If your phobia is severe, medications might be used in conjunction with therapy. Certain medications can significantly reduce your anxiety, allowing you to focus on the therapeutic techniques. Although cynophobia can be devastating, it is extremely treatable. With a bit of work, there is no reason that you must continue to suffer. References: Rentz, T., Powers, M., Smits, J., Cougle, J., and Telch, M.

Chaetophobia is the fear of what? | Chaetophobia: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment Options What is Chaetophobia? written by: Rene Wolf • edited by: Daniel P. McGoldrick • updated: 11/24/2010 Chaetophobia is the overwhelming and intense fear of hair. The level of fear can range from a single hair to a hairy family pet. Symptoms can include panic attacks, nausea, dizziness, irregular heartbeat and other physical discomforts. slide 1 of 7 Chaetophobia is the term used for an intense fear of hair. Someone with Chaetophobia will experience such an intense fear of hair, they will often attempt to remove all hair from their bodies, avoid being around someone they think has a lot of hair, and often avoid being around animals because of the hair. slide 2 of 7 Similar Meaning, Different Terms Chaetophobia is also sometimes referred to as tricopathophobia ,trichphobia and/or hypertrichophobia. Though they are sometimes grouped together as having the exact same meaning, each does relate to a fear of hair, except in slightly different situations. Trichophobia is more specifically the fear of stray hairs being in clothing, furniture or any item that the person may touch. and trichopathophobia include the fear of hair and hair disease, hypertrichophobia is a fear of hair as well, but also includes hair color and hair growth slide 3 of 7 Causes Chaetophobia, like a majority of other phobias , does not have a concrete explanation for the cause of someone to having an intense fear hair and/or hairy people and animals. Chaetophobia is classified as a specific phobia, which means there is an exaggerated fear of a certain situation or object. A specific phobia typically has a specific trigger which initiates the panic in someone. In the case of chaetophobiathe trigger would be any hair related object. This phobia may be the result, of the person experiencing a trauma or life altering situation in which hair was involved. When the person encounters a hair or person with excessive hair, the fear relating to the trauma causes the fear to increase and panic begins. Some people that fear may feel that the hair is dirty and may be related to a fear of germs. Hair may possibly carry bacteria, which may be considered to someone with chaetophobia a reason to fear the hair. slide 4 of 7 Triggers A primary trigger for chaetophobia is basically a concern relating to hygiene. When someone has a fear of hair, when they see a single hair on clothing, furniture, themselves or someone else, will most likely be the onset of panic. If a hair is found in their food at a restaurant or at home, it will evoke a negative reaction. When someone with a fear of hair does find a hair in their food, it may lead to them refusing to eat any food items, unless they have prepared the items themselves. People with this phobia will avoid any situation or object where there may possibly be hair, including hair salons, hairbrushes and visiting family or friends that have pets. slide 5 of 7 Symptoms The symptoms of chaetophobia vary among those suffering with this phobia. The severity of their symptoms will depend on the level of fear experienced. Typically the symptoms include nausea, dizziness, sweating, nervousness and irregular heartbeat. Symptoms also may include a panic attack if the fear is extreme and overwhelming. The majority of people with chaetophobia realize the fear may result in experiencing a panic attack and they often realize the fear is unwarranted. When the phobia is extreme, the fear and the symptoms will often interfere with the persons lifestyle, including work, family and social interactions, which can become overwhelming, leading to them experiencing more severe symptoms. slide 6 of 7 Treatments There are treatment options available for those who are suffering with photophobia. However, treatment for phobias, are meant to treat the symptoms as opposed to the actual diagnosis. Medications will not cure chaetophobia they will only help to deal with the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Gephyrophobia is the irrational fear of crossing what? | What Is Gephyrophobia? - Gephyrophobia Help Guide Gephyrophobia Help Guide Understanding Your Fear Of Bridges What Is Gephyrophobia? Gephyrophobia is the irrational fear of bridges. For most sufferers this is driving or walking over a bridge. However for some their fear can strike anxiety at the sight of a bridge. Those who suffer from this condition typically avoid any routes they know where a bridge is present and turn around when they encounter one. Symptoms A sufferer of this phobia will experience immediate and intense anxiety when they are faced with crossing a bridge. Many exert the same symptoms. Let’s take a closer look at what these are. Turning Around The easiest way to deal with their fear of bridges is to simply turn around and runaway from it. Gephyrophobia will always take the longer route around a bridge to avoid ever having to cross it. Typically when these sufferers are capable of turning around or escaping the thing they fear their anxiety will calm down. Anxiety Attacks When a Gephyrophobia sufferer cannot escape their fear they tend to go into a state of panic. For example, when there is no other way except across the bridge to get whether they need to be the sufferer will be overwhelmed with extreme anxiety. This anxiety can cause a full blow panic attack. The Symptoms of A Panic Attack Include: Nausea Feeling An Impeding Sense of Doom or That They’re Going To Die Avoidance The most common symptom that all Gephyrophobia exert is avoidance of their fear. They plan their lives and daily activities around avoiding bridges. Most sufferers don’t even realize they are making these decisions because they have become regular practice in their lives. A few examples of these might help you better identify the things you personally due to avoid your fear. When planning trips or vacations you will route the way you get there around bridges, and you will typically avoid vacationing spots that require you to cross a bridge to get there. In your daily life you may take a route that takes twenty minutes longer just to avoid going across a bridge. This can even affect your lifestyle decisions. You may turn down a job you really want because it’s on the other side of town that you know the only way there is by crossing a bridge. Causes Gephyrophobia, just as many other phobias that people tend to develop throughout their lives, is the result of the sufferers life experiences. These experiences fall into three different categories that cause their phobia. Let’s take a look at each type. Traumatic Event This is one of the more common reasons that people develop phobias. This involves having endured a traumatic event in your past, typically in childhood, that sticks with you into adulthood. You tend to associate the traumatic event with danger. For example, you were in a car accident on a bridge. Now every time you are faced with crossing a bridge you relive the traumatic experience of the accident. Your brain associates the bridge with a dangerous places. Observational Experience This is when the sufferer doesn’t endure the traumatic event themselves, but rather witness someone else experience the event. The sufferer witnessed the danger that the other person endured during the event and now associates that event with danger. For example, someone you know got into a car accident on a bridge and was injured. This causes your brain to associate bridges with car accidents and injury. You now fear what may happen when you cross a bridge. Informational Experiences Instead of just one event leading to the development of your fear, this is where a combination of things you have learned throughout life and warnings you were give create your fear. Information sources could include movies, books, and warnings from adult-like figures, such as your parents. You may have watched a movie or television show where a bridge collapsed when people where on it. This makes you associate a bridge with tragedy. You may have read books on how unsafe bridges can be. Your parents may have avoided bridges themselves while you were growing up.

Airlines across Europe have slashed their prices for Friday 13th .
UK flights are £52 less than any other day in June .
'friggatriskaidekaphobia' affects consumer behaviour, survey shows . | Ignore your friggatriskaidekaphobia! (that's fear of Friday 13th) - you'll be saving yourself at least £50 if you fly tomorrow. Superstitious Brits, wary of Friday 13th, are so keen to avoid flying on that day that airlines across the board have dropped their prices. Data from travel search engine KAYAK reveals that Friday 13th is the cheapest day to fly in June, with domestic UK flights coming in at £52 less than the monthly average this Friday. Get lucky: Keep those fears at bay on Friday 13th and you'll get cheaper flights . Traditionally feared as a day of accidents and mishaps, there is only one Friday 13th this year and the superstition has driven down flight prices across the board, allowing non-superstitious travellers to reap the benefits. Domestic UK return flights in June have an average price of £233, but on Friday 13th a lack of demand has slashed the average price down to £181, making it the cheapest day to travel in the entire month. Prices and demand for domestic return flights have been drawn from Kayak searches to determine if friggatriskaidekaphobia - or fear of Friday the 13th - is affecting consumer travel behaviour. Fingers crossed! Friday 13th is lucky for some . It is not only UK travellers who are afflicted by this fear: domestic flights in France, Austria and Sweden are also at their lowest price of the month this Friday. The firm's travel data shows that the superstition has reduced prices £53 below the monthly average in France. Prices are down by £24 in Austria, and the worrisome Swedes have caused a huge drop of £89. 'It is fascinating to see just how much the concern caused by Friday 13th is affecting consumer travel behaviour,' says KAYAK Managing Director Annie Wilson. 'For flight prices to be noticeably lower than the monthly average implies that people really are taking the connotations of the date into consideration when booking. 'The savvier option is to put aside superstition and snap up a bargain flight while others are battening down the hatches and waiting for the day to pass.' The ravel search engine analyses global travel search trends and processes over one billion queries for travel information annually. | Most people don't think twice about taking price tags off of presents before wrapping them.

After seeing a hypnotherapist, Miss Marshall was able to overcome her phobia and can now handle stickers. This year, she will finally be able to wrap and unwrap Christmas presents . Since then, her discomfort developed into a full-blown phobia, which left her too scared to go shopping due to price stickers. It affected her work as a nursery worker because often children would bring in strips of stickers or sticker books to play with. Eventually, she went to see a hypnotherapist, who coined the term 'pittakionophobia' for her rare condition. He explained that like most phobias, pittakionophobia is an anxiety disorder rooted in a bad experience with stickers in childhood. Miss Marshall was delighted when after a month, her phobia was cured and this year, she is able to take the stickers off her Christmas presents ready to wrap them for the first time ever. The nursery worker said: 'I knew it was ridiculous because stickers can't hurt you or anything, I just couldn't help it. 'It was affecting every aspect of my life and really getting me down. 'Now I don't have to be scared to go shopping and I'm a lot more comfortable in my work place.' Miss Marshall says her fear started at aged seven at a sleepover where one end of a friend's bed was covered in stickers. She said: 'This girl had stickers from school all over one end of her bed on the bed stand. 'We were meant to be top and tailing but I didn't want to sleep near the stickers - I don't know why they just seemed weird. Peter Field, the therapist who treated Miss Marshall says the actual causes of pittakionophobia almost always lie in the individual's past. He said: 'Because of some past experience, the individual's subconscious mind has linked the sight or thought of stickers or sticky labels with danger and anxiety. 'Most often, this has happened in childhood or in the early years of adolescence, though in some cases it may have occurred later in life. 'Such an experience may have happened directly, as a result of a traumatic experience involving a sticker - having one stuck to some part of the body, for example - or indirectly because of another person's negative experience that was witnessed by the person who would then develop the phobia.' Source: Peter Field . 'You know what kids can be like and the more I asked the more she said no. 'In the end I asked her parents to take me home, but they couldn't because they'd had a drink. 'I had to sleep on the floor. I just remember lying there thinking about the morning when I'd finally be able to go home.' Her fear began to get worse and affect her job: she could not even be around children at the nursery wearing stickers. Miss Marshall said: 'I was okay with brand new packs, sticky tape and post it notes, but nothing other than that. 'It was especially bad if the sticker was dirty or had started peeling off. 'It made going shopping a nightmare because I would be scared of size stickers on clothes or price stickers on shoes.' A phobia of stickers is so rare that only one expert has given it a name - pittakionophobia. Peter Field, a hypnotherapist based in Birmingham, felt so sorry for Miss Marshall he offered to cure her phobia. Now she is finally able to take the price stickers off her Christmas presents for the first time ever. Miss Marshall said: 'I think everyone would have treatment for their phobia if they could. 'At first my family didn't believe me and would try and come near me with stickers, but once they saw my reaction they were very understanding. 'I no longer have to worry it will affect me when I'm out with friends who don't know about it and I can get on with my job without feeling uncomfortable.' The hypnotherapist who treated Miss Marshall coined a new name for her rare phobia: pittakionophobia. He says there are countless people who suffer from the fear of stickers who do not know treatment is available . Peter Field, who claims he is the first and only hypnotherapist in the country to treat this phobia, said: 'I was happy to play my part in freeing her from her life-long phobia. 'Very few therapists have even heard of this condition - which is why I created the term 'pittakionophobia', let alone know how to effectively treat it. 'There are countless people who suffer unnecessarily from the fear of stickers and simply do not know that effective treatment is available. 'I have successfully treated people with all kind of phobias, from fear of velvet to fear of clowns, fear of worms to fear of the wind, as well as the better know ones such as fear of spiders, heights, claustrophobia and so on. 'I believe that every phobia can be effectively treated and the phobic person freed from a lifetime of unnecessary anxiety and fear, provided the therapist truly understands how to do this. 'The real problem is that most of those suffering from the fear of stickers simply do not know that effective treatment is available.' Ms Emma Citron, consultant clinical psychologist with a specialty in phobias, said cognitive behavioural therapy can be succesfully be used to treat phobias such as Miss Marshall's. She told MailOnline: 'Anything can become a phobia. Buttons, is a common one. People get uncomfortable if there are buttons in a room, even if they are in a pot. 'Most people have an innate phobia of snakes, but all other phobias are not rational. 'They could have a phobia of rats, mice, spiders - or even collars on shirts. 'We might be able to understand phobias of snakes, spiders and mice, more easily. We might rationalise it’s because they carry disease. 'But they are not rational, they are no more rational than the phobia of collars because rats don’t have bubonic plague anymore and spiders in the UK are unlikely to harm a person. Clinical psychologist and phobia expert Ms Emma Citron says all phobias are irrational and normally stem from a traumatic event in childhood. Pictured is a spider, which is a common phobia for many people . 'About a third of people can remember a traumatic event which is the source of their phobia. But the rest don’t have such a memory – and it could be there was no traumatic event. 'It’s known that phobias are made worse by avoiding them. If you are scared of the tube and you avoid the tube, you may develop a phobia. If you force yourself to travel by tube, you won’t. 'The usual treatment is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) administered by a professional. You can be referred by your GP. 'That’s the only treatment that works. You help people change their thoughts. 'Then you might expose them to different ‘grades’ of whatever they are scared of, under psychological supervision. The person themselves sets the hierarchy, so they can cope. And they are taught coping mechanisms such as relaxation techniques. 'Some accredited psychologists might use hypnotherapy, but this would not normally be used in isolation, it would be used with CBT.' | eng_Latn | 2,521 |

There are several medications on the market that can control the symptoms and allow you to have a normal life. Your doctor may even have a suggestion for a therapist you can work with to learn to modify your reactions to the anxiety. If your doctor doesn't have a suggestion ... open the phone and start calling therapists, counselors, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists until you find one that works with anxiety-related problems.\n\nSome of the things you can try on your own are:\n\n#1 -- Start journaling, if you don't already. Carry a notebook with you and jot down all of your random thoughts and fears in the notebook, especially when you start to get the anxious feelings. Abuse the heck out of the notebook instead of yourself. Then once a day or once a week (or even never), whenever you are in a safe place that you don't have anxiety symptoms -- read back through what you've written to see if you can find the source of your anxiety. Work on that source.\n\n#2 -- Turn off the voice in your head. I know that sounds silly, but that's exactly what I had to do when my anxiety was/is out-of-control. I literally lock myself in my car or a bathroom stall or my bedroom and I tell the voice: "Shut-up! You are lying. I am _____ (a positive angle for whatever your particular anxiety is)." Repeat your new-found mantra as often as you want to turn off the voice in your head.

OCD is a battle with your mind, it is a battle with yourself. It is thought that stress elevates the urges that come with OCD, but if you attempt to stop doing the routines and such, this will often stress you out more, causing the OCD to heighten. This is why it is so difficult to over come on your own, and listed by the World Health Orginization as one of the most frustrating disorders to live with, if left untreated. \n\nFor a description of treatment available for OCD and more information on the disorder refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCD#Treatment\n\nIt is also good, to keep a notepad and pencil nearby when at home, or carry one with you. When you the urge to do something, before or after you do it, write down what the urge was. Beside it, list the intensity of the urge to carry out the routine, from one to ten. Then at the end of the day, read through your notes, try to find some sense in why you shouldn't be doing these things. This will most likely only be a small solution, though.

Social phobia can be limited to only one type of situation, such as a fear of speaking in formal or informal situations, or eating or drinking in front of others, or, in its most severe form, may be so broad that a person experiences symptoms almost anytime they are around other people.\n\nPeople with social phobia have a persistent, intense, and chronic fear of being watched and judged by others and being embarrassed or humiliated by their own actions. Their fear may be so severe that it interferes with work or school, and other ordinary activities. Physical symptoms often accompany the intense anxiety of social phobia and include blushing, profuse sweating, trembling, nausea, and difficulty talking. | eng_Latn | 2,566 |
