Phobias

Phobias involve intense, irrational fears of specific objects or situations, even if it’s not actually dangerous or unsafe.  People with phobias frequently go to great lengths to avoid whatever they’re afraid of, which usually negatively impacts or interferes with their daily life.  

Common phobias include: 

• Animals (ex: spiders, snakes, dogs, etc.)
• Natural environments (ex: heights, water, thunderstorms, etc.)
• Blood, Needles/Injections, and Injury
• Situational (ex: flying, enclosed spaces, driving, etc.)
