Every human being has some fear. Be it a fear of an animal or darkness or a crowd or height. This fear can be anything that triggers an unpleasant sensation. It varies from person to person and situation to situation. Living with fear all the time makes a person very anxious and the person automatically starts avoiding the situation which might affect their daily routine.
Fear counselling is where an individual’s fear is addressed. The therapist will help the person find out suitable and different ways to deal with their situation. The therapist will focus on the person’s feelings, thoughts and behaviour. Some of the effective ways to deal with our fears in a session is through systematic desensitization, By exposure therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy.
