What about being afraid of all living animals?

Fear is the behavior of being highly afraid of something for some reason, so that it affects one's physiological activities. I think fear can be a bad experience, and this experience is not necessarily my own experience, but it can also be what I heard or saw. Personally, I believe that all fears boil down to the fear of the unknown, the fear of one's own unknown, or incompleteness, and the same is true of the fear of death.

Therefore, the fundamental way to overcome fear is to break the sense of unknown, that is, to use the compulsive method, that is, to force oneself to touch, to understand, to recall in detail, and to study more of the things that make oneself fearful. If you know everything about it, like a cockroach, you know all its habits, what it fears, how to deal with it, and you have mastered these skills, then what is there to be afraid of. It takes courage to overcome the same fear, and overcoming it will have unexpected gains for your mind and experience.

The main thing is your own mentality, to face them bravely. Look more at the animal world, learn about all the big and small animals, especially those that are often in contact with them, know their habits, characteristics, whether they are harmful to us, etc., and see more and less fear. If you can, contact the fake model first, play more, it should have an effect.

Then directly target the problem, touch what you are afraid of, contact the frog if you are afraid of the frog, and contact the hamster if you are afraid of the hamster. Even if it's painful, even if it's uncomfortable, you insist on touching them, so that after a while, your fear will definitely drop or even disappear. It's also one of the easiest and most effective ways to do it, and good luck if you're willing to do it!

In fact, everyone has things they don't like, but the animals you hate and fear are more messy and annoying, in fact, the main reason is that you don't realize their advantages, every time you see them, you have the feeling of wanting to kill them. Therefore, I suggest that you read more books about these animals, learn more about them, and then change your mind about them from the bottom of your heart, only if you don't hate and fear them in your heart, then you won't have this kind of thinking and practice anymore. Give it a try, and hopefully you'll be okay with these animals!

Don't say you like it, at least don't hate it so much).

I suggest you check out the animal world!

1. Three manifestations of fear.

Fear usually manifests itself in three ways, and these three are often combined:

1. Physical fear: such as rapid heartbeat, dilated pupils, muscle tension, hair erection (just like cats stand up in order to intimidate each other and protect themselves when they are afraid) and so on. All of these expressive activities demonstrate that the body is actively preparing for action and is an early warning mechanism for coping with fear;

2. Psychological fear: Our attention is focused on the danger that may occur, we see it, and magnify it (this is the magnifying glass of fear). All of this is useful when there is real danger, but it becomes very disturbing if it is just a false warning.

As the Russian saying goes: "Fear has big eyes";

3. Behavioral fear: When animals (including humans) feel fear, they will respond according to their own characteristics and abilities, according to the Anglo-Saxon "3F" principle, namely: fihgt (fight, flignt) or freeze (stand still).

2. The escalation of fear - terror.

Sometimes, what we feel is no longer just "normal" fear, but a real horror. When terror comes, fear will:

Very intense; uncontrollable; Prompting people to flee.

3. A variety of different fear symptoms.

When physical fear is transformed into psychological fear, and after psychological reinforcement, a fixed fear symptom will be formed, that is, a psychological fear of specific things and specific occasions.

In general, terror can be divided into the following three forms.

1. The horror of special things.

2. The horror of social interaction.

3. Square Terror.

In general, a phobia is an intense psychological experience, a series of physical and mental changes caused by psychological effects, and to some extent, it is an instinct of human psychological strain. Therefore, by learning to understand the causes and manifestations of fear, we can ultimately overcome fear through physical or psychological means.

Phobias are a group of neurotic disorders characterized by an excessive, irrational fear of a particular object, situation, or activity, accompanied by avoidance of the object or situation they fear.

Zoophobia mostly occurs in childhood, manifested as fear of snakes, spiders, rabbits, cats, dogs, etc., and some zoophobia patients naturally relieves after entering adulthood. In daily life, we often see some people afraid of small animals, such as cats, dogs, snakes, etc., and their fear is often more than ordinary people think.

One can't help but wonder, are these little creatures that scary? As everyone knows, the reason why these people have such a violent reaction is because they suffer from animal phobia.

1) an intense fear caused by a particular object;

2) extreme avoidance of the object or situation feared;

3) Anticipatory anxiety.

It is the anxiety that arises before confronting the object of fear;

4) the patient knows that the fear and avoidance behavior is excessive, unreasonable, and unnecessary, but cannot control it;

5) Fear is often accompanied by autonomic symptoms, such as palpitations or palpitations, sweating, tremors or tremors, dry mouth, difficulty breathing, chest pain or chest discomfort, nausea or abdominal discomfort, dizziness or unsteadiness on standing, chills or hot flashes, pins and needles or numbness, etc.;

6) Fear and avoidance of certain objects cause obvious mental pain to patients, or hinder their normal social functioning in work, study, life and social interaction.

In addition to the psychological factors of individuals, the occurrence of animal phobia is also inseparable from social and environmental factors. Desensitization is mostly used for animal phobias, but for some patients with severe symptoms, it is recommended that it is best to seek help from a psychologist. In order to get a more scientific ** and avoid some unnecessary psychological damage.

Ways to overcome animal phobia.

The above process is only used for cute small animals, such as puppies, kittens, rabbits and other more common pets, such as animals that everyone is generally afraid of and do not like (such as cockroaches, bad mice, etc.) patients should not touch.

Animals are friends of human beings, and humans and animals should live in harmony, and people with animal phobia will have a lot of fear symptoms as long as they establish such awareness.

Go slowly get used to it, from **** it, to take bird-shaped toys, to see real birds.

Don't be afraid, just treat it as your enemy, look at it fiercely, and kill it with your eyes.

Phobia: A neurosis with fear symptoms as the main clinical manifestation. The patient develops a strong and unnecessary fear of certain objects, accompanied by avoidance behavior.

The object of fear may be single or multiple, such as animals, squares, closed rooms, ascending, or social activities. Patients know that their reactions are irrational, but they are difficult to control and recur. The disease is more common in young adults and old age, and more common in women.

Phobias and pathogenesis.

1. Genetic factors:

2. Personality traits: The pre-illness personality tends to be naïve, timid, shy, and introverted.

3. Mental factors: often play a more important role in the onset of the disease.

Phobias Clinical manifestations Objects of phobia can be grouped into three categories:

1. Situation: Fear of the streets, squares, public places, high places or secret rooms, etc., so they dare not go out, and avoid these places.

2. Social terror: Feeling horrified about situations that require interaction with people and trying to avoid them, such as talking to people.

3. Simple terror: For example, when terror occurs on needles, scissors, knives, pen nibs and other objects, it is called sharp weapon terror; Terror of cats, dogs, rats, snakes and other animals is called animal terror.

Phobias Basis for diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

1. Certain objects can cause intense fear or anxiety and try to avoid them. The patient recognizes that this avoidance response is irrational and unnecessary, but cannot be shaken off.

Second, good self-knowledge, requirements**.

3. Hindering the normal progress of work, study or daily life.

4. The course of the disease can be long or short, and the course of the study case is at least 3 months.

Phobia**.

One: Behavior**:

2. Drugs**:

Phobias course and prognosis.

Although the course of the disease is long, the prognosis is good. It usually gradually improves or heals after a few years.

The more recognized method of psychology for specific phobias is "systematic desensitization" (perhaps the fear ** that your classmates said is similar to this), which is a kind of exposure in behavior**.

The basic procedure for system desensitization is:

1) Start by learning basic relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or other methods that sound more glamorous.

For example, if you are afraid of "some animal", but you can use its English name "snake"."to call it. I'm sure you wouldn't have a good time saying "snake" either, but you still express it, which shows that you have a lower level of anxiety and fear about the word. Of course, seeing Snake's ** will be relatively high for you.

3) Implement systematic desensitization: Follow that list, starting with a low fear level, so that you can learn to adapt. When you feel anxious, you use specific relaxation techniques to combat it, and when the anxiety drops to a level that you can accept, you move on to the next level.

From this point of view, it is still very gentle and gradual.

"Phobia" is a psychosis that refers to an inexplicable fear of certain things or situations, even though the person knows that they will not be harmed, but still cannot control their fears.

There are all kinds of phobia, such as thalassophobia, acrophobia, trypophobia, and so on.

Today I want to talk to you about zoophobia, animal phobia, also known as animal phobia

People with "zoophobia" are afraid of a particular animal, and this animal is not necessarily dangerous or threatening...

Animal phobia mostly occurs in childhood, manifested as fear of snakes, spiders, rabbits, cats, dogs, etc., those with mild symptoms will have emotional tension, while patients with more severe symptoms will have obvious avoidance behaviors, such as patients with bat fear do not dare to go out at night; In general, most patients with zoophobia with juvenile onset will have symptoms that persist into adulthood, and the course of the disease is often decades old by the time of presentation, but some patients with zoophobia will naturally resolve their symptoms after entering adulthood.

Some people only have a serious rejection of animals in fear, but most people classify this kind of people as timid, in fact, this is a pathological phobia, the fear of animals is different from the usual phobia patients, patients are often prone to fantasy and hallucinations, imagination beyond ordinary people, any kind of animal and his proximity or contact will make him have a strong sense of rejection, severe cases will have a mental breakdown.

People with animal phobia should try to avoid contact with pets, and if you want to overcome your fear, you can actually try the "system desensitization" method to reduce this fear. First of all, you can take a look at the **or** of these small animals. Secondly, you can look at these small animals from a distance and don't get close to yourself.

Next, approach the critter in a controlled situation, don't rush it, and preferably do it when someone is nearby. You can also try to pet the animals yourself if someone is in control. <>

Psychoanalysts believe that phobias are mainly the result of the unresolved conflict of the Oedipus complex of childhood, that is, the mother-love complex, which sounds incomprehensible and even incompatible, and this is the mystery of psychoanalysts.

In contrast, the behaviorist school of interpretation seems to be easier to understand and accept. They believe that fear of an animal can arise from childhood experiences, or from the influence of parents or other children, such as a child's panic when he witnesses his father's encounter with a snake, or a mother's admonition. It can also be obtained through conditioned reflex mechanisms, such as the behaviorist psychologist Watson once used the conditioned reflex method to make a child who was not afraid of rabbits fear when he saw a rabbit (and later used desensitization ** to restore the child to normal).

Environmental factors also play an important role. It is generally believed that girls should be petite and lovable, but there is a lack of cultivation and reinforcement of the qualities of girls who are strong and brave. Taiwanese writer Liu Yong once mentioned that his wife would scream and ask for help when she saw a small insect such as a spider before giving birth, and after becoming a mother, she saw such insects in the house, and in order to protect the baby, she bravely dealt with it herself, which shows how much environmental factors have an impact on human behavior.
