The word "phobia" comes from the Greek "phobos" which means fear. Phobias are generally divided into five types:
1. Animals (snakes, spiders, dogs)
2. Natural Environment (thunder, lightening, water)
3. Blood / Injection / Injury ( seeing blood, getting a shot, going
to the dentist, or having a medical procedure)
4. Situational (high places, driving, flying)
5. Other (phobias that don't fit into any of the other four
categories (fears of swallowing, blushing, or vomiting).
Below are some of the most common phobias.
Aerophobia: fear of flying. This one is on the Phobia List of Top 10 most popular phobias. Did you notice the serious decline in air travel after the events of 9/11? Aerophobia also means an irrational fear of fresh air or drafts of air. Aerophobia comes from the Greek "aero," which means air or gas.
Aichmophobia: fear of needles. From the Greek word "aichme," which means point. This fear can be life threatening if it prevents the sufferer from seeking needed medical attention.
Arachnophobia: fear of spiders. Arachnophobia is ranked number one on the Phobia List of Top 10 most popular phobias. Some experts contend that it's really fear of the unknown, since most spiders are harmless. However, knowing that does not seem to make a difference to the level of fear experienced. "Arachnophobia" is derived from the Greek "arachne" meaning spider.
Carcinophobia: fear of cancer. Carcinophobia is on the Phobia List of Top 10 most popular phobias. People with this phobia worry that they may develop cancer or obsess over anything that happens with their body, believing that it may be a sign of cancer. From the Greek "karkinos" which means cancer.
Claustrophobia: fear of closed spaces, of being closed in or being shut in, as in elevators, tunnels, or any other confined space. Even sitting in one of the middle seats in a theatre may cause anxiety. This one is on the Phobia List of Top 10 most popular phobias. The word "claustrophobia" is derrived from the Latin "claudere," which means to shut.
Thanatophobia: fear of death. This one is on the Phobia List of Top 10 most popular phobias. From the Greek word "Thanatos" meaning death. Also commonly referred to as Necrophobia.
Although not all phobias are common, many people don’t even realize they have a phobia until they really understand what the phobia is. The list below includes a lot of phobias which can be treated easily and I’m sure many of you have never heard of them but someone, somewhere has that phobia you have never heard of.
There are many ways to treat a phobia or try to combat your phobia but the fact is, if you never do anything about it, it will never go away. When your phobia appears, spiders for example you will relive that fear over and over until it’s gone.
I had one major phobia and that was fear of flying. Up until a few years ago I rarely, if ever got on an aeroplane because I was so afraid and I had to live through the fear during flights which was very tough and stressful. I then decided that I don’t want to live through this so I went on a mission to find a cure for my phobia. I then came across a site that claimed to cure my phobia within one hour. That’s right, one hour! I was a little sceptical at first but risking a few bucks in order to cure one of my biggest fears could be worth it.
I can honestly say it was unreal. Even though I wasn’t sitting listening to the audio mid-flight, I almost kind of knew that something had happened to me. It was like the thought of flying wasn’t as scary anymore. Of course I couldn’t test it out immediately because I wasn’t planning on booking a flight but next time I got on a plane, I had no worries. I was completely fine. I slept through half of the flight, woke up for some food and had absolutely no worries. I lost my phobia, which was pretty amazing and I owe it all to the audios I purchased.
