How to get rid of obsessive fears and anxiety

The subconscious of man is matter thin, but at the same time incredibly complex. No matter how fast the psychology develops, all the problems are not capable of solving all of them overnight. This is especially true of various fears. Old phobias, sudden panic attacks, incomprehensible anxiety - with all of this you need to somehow fight.

How to get rid of fear by folk methods?

If it were possible to invent a magic pill that eliminates fear for good, its creator would become richer than Rockefeller. Because a certain amount of fear of something lives in every person and does not always pass with time. This is especially true of children's fears. The psyche of a child is many times more susceptible than in an adult.

There are simple systems, which in the old days fought with fears. But it's hard to say how much they really work, since they are all tied to faith. A person who initially does not believe in a positive outcome will not see the result.

Folk healers advised to work with their anxieties and fears on a waning moon. This period was ideally suited for the elimination of everything that prevented living peacefully. From the very first day of the "aging" of the moon, every evening it was necessary to detail in detail on a piece of paper everything that a man was afraid of. The more you can take out of the depths of the subconscious, the better. Then the text was burned, and the ashes buried at the crossroads. In a city apartment, the easiest way is to send him to the bathroom. The main thing is not to throw in the bucket and do not dispel the wind.

During panic conditions, neurosis, and other manifestations of fear, various herbal infusions were made. But, of course, their effect did not fall into the category of instantaneous. It was necessary to drink this or that means courses. For example, melissa or motherwort, fruits of viburnum and hawthorn, beet juice, work well. But they all help to pacify the nervous system only a little, and not to eliminate the phobia itself.

What to do with compulsive fears and anxiety?

The treatment of any disease should not take place by eliminating its manifestations, but by determining the cause. Fear is the same disease, and work with it is carried out according to a similar algorithm. To understand how to treat, you need to know what to treat.

Anxiety and panic can be conscious and unconscious. It is more difficult to fight the latter, since it is unclear what exactly served as a catalyst. For example, there is a fear of fainting from simple vertigo. Consequently, the classic prerequisites will be weakness, clouding of reality, tinnitus. A person can realize them and understands (or rather, assumes) what they will lead to.

But the same panic attack can happen without their presence, spontaneously, as it seems at first glance. And the premise will be unconscious. Let's say the same scent will appear in the air that was where the first unpleasant fainting incident occurred. The person did not seem to remember, and did not even have time to associate - the subconscious mind has already done everything for him. And one thing, if you can calculate such random "beacons": you can work with them. Other - when they are, but you do not even suspect about them.

First and foremost, what it takes to start a struggle is to understand where the fear came from. For this, psychologists recommend taking time, take a clean sheet of paper and place its key phobia at its center. Let it be the same fear of fainting. Now, next to her should start to throw everything that is associated with it, selecting from two categories. First, why does this faint scare at all? The second is what can lead to it?

That which belongs to the last group will be "stones" that you cannot stumble upon in life. For example, among the prerequisites (non-associative) are closeness, hunger, overstrain. Together, with a fair amount of probability, they will indeed lead to the emergence of fear. But one by one, most likely, they will pass or unnoticed, or the body quickly adapts to them. It is worth explaining to yourself that in most cases there is a way out of every premise. Indoor stuffiness - an open window or withdrawal from this room. Hunger - snack foods in the bag. Overstrain - relaxation for 30 min.

Creating a series of associations helps to isolate the secondary fears that are the main and dependent on him. For example, they fell into the fear of damaging the body in the fall and unwillingness to attract attention from others and cause incorrect thoughts. Often people can take a person who has become ill, for a drunkard or a drug addict. And, accordingly, you can not wait for help. In addition, there is a reluctance to show your weakness, if you are afraid of fainting in a public place.

To these associations with the main phobia should look for their own solutions. For example, to the last point - to accept the fact that all random people already after 3 minutes. will forget your face, and your social status is in no way connected with their opinion. Fears of injury - the understanding that nothing worse is worse than a concussion, this is not a flight from a high-rise building.

Freed from the fear of death

This question for a reason was singled out among many, but not because it often arises. Imaginary cases causing panic are somewhat more serious than what had happened before. In fact, if, in fear of a repetition of the situation, a person already really knows how it will be, and scare his real feelings, then with only one imagination, he is able to bring himself to a more serious state.

For example, the fear of flying, which has not yet been. There was a sad experience of other people. And no positive will kill the entrenched beacon - the airplanes tend to fall. Despite the professionalism of the pilot and the quality of technology, the panic at the thought of flying will still remain. And until the person checks the plane personally, the situation will not break.

As for the fear of death, the fear of the unknown is a natural phenomenon. To a certain extent, it must be present. Fear for their lives and the lives of loved ones disappears only among those who have nothing to lose. If the fear of death does not develop into a severe form of phobia, which will be discussed below, the above tips are enough.

Happy life without phobia

Working with severe phobias is somewhat more problematic due to the degree of their impact on a person. If a number of fears simply cause discomfort, then phobias often interfere with a full-fledged social life and self-realization. Fear of contact with others through touch - a cross on most professions that require communication with tactile elements. The fear of transport will not move even within the city. This is a form of phobia when a person is overtaken by a severe panic attack. It is accompanied not only by internal tremor, but also by an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, severe sweating, and loss of consciousness.

The tips previously cited for lighter degrees of fear are worth trying. But they do not always give the result. And in this case, no doubt, the intervention of a qualified therapist is mandatory. In particularly difficult cases, hypnosis is used if the person is exposed to it. But most often there is a work on the principle of "wedge wedge", carried out under the strict supervision of a doctor. And we will have to prepare for the fact that the process will be long.

How to get rid of fear, you can talk a lot and for a long time. Provide any advice, make recommendations. But until there is a strong desire to defeat this "beast" and action is not taken, reasoning does not make sense. Believe in your abilities, tell yourself that you control your fears, not them, and start living! This is the best way.
