If you’re looking for a fast phobia cure you are a brave soul. Phobias are fears that are buried so deep in the psyche that many people feel that are incurable. However, this is not true. We fear what we believe will hurt us, and often this fear has been given to us by the thoughts and beliefs of others.
Phobias are fears based on what we believe. Often we have simply adopted these fears from someone else, usually a parent or care giver when we were young. When children are taught that spiders are bad and they “pee in your eye” while you are sleeping we teach children to be afraid of the spider, even though most of these creatures are harmless.
The girl with the phobia was most likely told that dogs could be unpredictable and her wounds were treated with a great deal of panic or emotion. The second little girl was cared for, and a caring adult explained that almost all dogs would bite if they felt threatened. The adults in her life took the time to explain dog behavior, equipping her with knowledge to prevent another attack while developing respect for the animal.
One of the easiest ways to find a fast phobia cure is to simply change the belief system on which the phobia was built. Fear of fire because you know it can destroy quickly? Education about the causes and preventative measures associated with fires can help you believe that you are safe from fires.
If you have a fear of water then learning to swim and understanding the natural life that is within that water can be enough to convince you that you are safer in the water than you are in the car.
The fast phobia cure is really education. The more we know about any given topic the less afraid of it we are. The more know that we are actually able to change what we believe about something the more we know that we are in complete control of what we fear and how deeply we fear it.
