Is there something which triggers a profound anxiety response in you?
If you feel your fear (or your response to it) is excessive or unreasonable you may try to find ways to avoid the situation. Or you may just feel really anxious about it beforehand and experience it with dread if you have to.
Often, people look for treatments for phobias because the profound anxiety really interferes with their life or experience either generally or at particular times.
There are well known methods, using a state of light relaxation through guided imagery, for allowing you to take the emotional charge out of the triggering phobic situation. This is extremely effective in helping those suffering from trauma as well as things like fear of flying, claustrophobia, needles, operations and insects. What's more, there is no need to go into the details of any past experiences for this to be effective.
The effect is to translate the memory of the triggering experience to into a narrative memory. In other words into a memory which no longer then triggers the intensity of emotion. You can then just get on with your life without that emotional interference.
These methods are straightforward and generally get results quickly, putting you back in control.
