Fear,Phobia and how to deal with it

A lot of people have phobias.
And phobias aren’t just everyday worries—they’re
serious, intense fears that sometimes (or often)
interfere with day-to-day life.
For example, some people walk up and down
multiple flights of stairs each day and avoid
elevators because they feel trapped and anxious
when they’re in an enclosed space (that, of course,
is called claustrophobia).
Others won’t go up a building—because they’re too terrified of heights
(aka acrophobia ).
I have a friend who refuses to fly because
whenever she’s in a plane, she can’t trust that the
huge, heavy piece of machinery will somehow stay
in the air—that’s aviophobia.
But new research shows that there’s a quick and
simple way to temper any type of phobia. All it
involves is a certain kind of self-talk…
