It turns out, all is not so simple as could be.
Fear helps us recognize the danger, to prepare your body for a variety of dangerous situations, in fact, to regroup. Also it helps to remember the different dangerous situations and, finally, shaping our strategy.
Comments about this correspondent was told by a psychologist, psychotherapist Catherine Alexander.
“Our life is filled with different fears. We are afraid to get sick or lose a job, get old or to be alone, and many others. Why is this happening? Fear is one of the strongest and most ancient of human emotions. It is the fear for many millions of years has allowed the survival of first animals, and later in the course of evolution and people. Fear performs several important biological functions. It helps us recognize the danger, to prepare your body for a variety of dangerous situations, in fact, to regroup. Also it helps to remember the different dangerous situations and, finally, shaping our strategy.
If it were not for fear, we wouldn’t know when it is necessary to save yourself,” said the psychologist.
According to E. Alexandrovski, all of our fears have some basis.
“She may not have direct ties, or be non-obvious. Our behavior is driven by unconscious and automatic processes that have formed throughout life based on different events. Our emotions, including fear helped us to survive, even if it looks clear and obvious. Getting rid of any emotion, even if they interfere with the person without a study of causes, akin to symptomatic treatment. When a symptom is removed, and the reason left. If you have any fear, we must ask ourselves, is there reason to fear? Perhaps something the person is not aware or does not want to see? Behind every fear is something worth. And then we have to understand,” – said the therapist.
The expert stressed that it is not necessary just remove what you don’t like.
“Maybe this is your protection and prevents something more serious. To fear is normal. Especially, illness or death. Obviously, this will not be anything pleasant and will inevitably happen in our lives. Yet again, it is important how the fear interferes with daily activities. If the fears start to significantly affect daily tasks, you should seek help. Works well with a variety of fears cognitive-behavioural therapy, but if you want to understand more deeply the causes of their behavior and emotions, then I recommend psychoanalytic therapy. In any case, you should not try simply to remove the fear, it is important to treat your own mental processes more carefully and respectfully. Perhaps you are right to be fearful or cause quite different”, – concluded E. Alexander.
