Fear & Phobia Counseling in Arlington Texas

Do you have an fear of something? Many people do. Do you have an extreme fear of something? Many people do. Fears and phobias are very common among most Americans and many in Arlington but not many of them reach out a fear or phobia counselor to get help help. Whether you have a fear of clowns, fear of heights, driving or going outside, no matter what your phobias may be, our caring fear and phobia counselors in Arlington are here to help you.

There may be a few questions you may have before seeking help for your phobias such as:

  1. Do I need a counselor for my fears?
  2. Can a phobia be cured by a counselor?
  3. What causes irrational fears and phobias?
  4. How long does it take to get over a phobia?

While the answers to these questions vary from one individual to another, our fear and phobia counselors in Arlington are caring and work patiently with you to help you get control of your fears and your life.

 

Do I need a counselor for my fears and phobias?

While it is normal to have fears and many people have them, when you feel your phobias start to affect your daily life, it may be time to reach out for help. If your fear of elevators stops you from going up to your office at work or if your fear of dogs stops you from taking your daily walk, all of these are reason to speak with a professional so you can start living your life again. While phobias can be irrational, they can still lead to major decisions. For example, according to Nationwide.com, 80% of high-rises “lack” a 13th floor due to Triskaidekaphobia or the fear of the number 13.

Some of the most common phobias are:

  1. Arachnophobia – fear of spiders
  2. Aerophobia – fear of flying
  3. Astraphobia – fear of thunder and lightning
  4. Dentophobia – fear of dentists
  5. Acrophobia – fear of heights

Whether you fear spiders, flying or going to the dentist, all of these can affect your daily life. Email us or give us a call today to set up an appointment with one of our caring counselors today.
