Phobias

Since a long time ago people knew about phobias. Phobias – that is an unrational stage of a fear. They arise from nowhere and without seemed for that reasons. One men was a patient of Hyppokrat, and after some period of time he discovered that that men had a phobia. Nowadays we can see entry of that experiment :’He is scared of a girl, playing on a flute; as soon as he hears the first note, he overcomes by fear.’ This men felt such as sense of horror, that he couldn’t control his actions. He understood, that actions could bring big problems, but he could do nothing.

The matter of phobias can be very different. There are more than 400 famous phobias. According to statistics, every 8 human on our planet has different kinds of phobias. Some times it can be not only one phobia.

Someone is afraid of high places, someone – locked doors, sharp objects and open air, infinity, people, who are scared of church’s utensils, clouds and moon.

In my opinion the most disseminate phobia is claustrophobia. There are a lot of people who are afraid of the limited space. In my family my grandmother dread of all limited spaces like elevators, narrow corridors and so on.

So when my grandma was a child she went home alone, she came into an elevator and pressed the button. But suddenly the light switched off and the elevator stopped. My grandma was very frightened. Later she told us that in that moment she thought that the walls tried to press her.

In my childhood I decided that I had to treat my granny. So we started going for walks together. After walking we began to use elevator. At the beginning we rise only on one floor. But then we began to increase time which we spending in the elevator.
