Phobias are an irrational fear of such things as objects, animals or places. In other words a situation that most people would not consider dangerous. A situation that ordinarily has no danger in reality.

So where do phobias come from?

A phobia can stem from a number of direct or indirect causes where emotions attach to memory of events (sometimes from childhood). The anxiety is projected onto a symbol of the event and the emotion is then re-experienced whenever that symbol comes to mind.

Phobias may be the product of:

  •  severe stress
  • a series of stressful or negative experiences
  • a fear of fear
  • transmission from someone else (e.g. a parent or sibling)
  • past trauma 

Whatever the trigger, it is as a result of something deeply buried in the unconscious that has caused the experience to evolve into a phobia. All of the symptoms are symbolic of the original event that caused emotion to be bottled away in the unconscious mind.
