Why are people afraid of?This question can be considered and rhetorical, and quite specific.Fear - a normal reaction to stressful situation that requires maximum mobilization.At a time when on an emotional level, we feel fear, at the physiological level it is activated by a huge number of mechanisms, preparing our body to a possible threat.All this is debugged nature to the smallest detail, and thus benefit from this kind of condition is definitely there.Namely, it works as a defense mechanism, maintaining the integrity of the whole organism.So let's just define: the concept of "unjustified fears" highly conditional - always and everywhere the fear is the cause of its appearance.Another thing is that this very reason could be fairly well removed from the emergence of the feeling of fear.
I will explain what is at stake.The common phrase that "we all come from childhood" is forgotten by adults as soon as situations arise, they are uncomfortable.A children's fears - this is just what remains in the subconscious mind of man for many years, if not forever.And the child gets the anxiety of a particular occasion for a reason, and based on my personal experience observing the surrounding reality.For example, fear of heights may experience during a bad fall, fear of the dark - from having a bad dream, the fear of closed spaces - from badly chosen location for pryatok (cabinet slammed).All this is reflected in the subconscious of the child and kept there for quite a long time until any stressful situation will not allow fear to express themselves in full force.And sometimes the fears instilled by the older children.These eternal "do not come - obozhzhёshsya" do not go - you fall, "etc.form the child syndrome, a finding in a hostile environment where the fear - a reliable ally, because it warns of the danger.Children's fears may arise, and when watching TV, and uncontrolled participation in igrah- "shooter", and when listening to adults talk about the dangers of the outside world.
last option is a fertile ground for the development of such phenomena as social fears.This concern about the increase in prices, increase in the number of terrorist attacks, nedovyplat cash benefits, the general deterioration of life.The Russian social fears are already moving into mass psychosis - because if someone says that he is doing well, he immediately nazhivёt a bunch of enemies, can not be in such times things go well.Social fears interfere with the normal development of society, forming citizens have a defensive mentality.The creation of anxiety in society contribute to the media, either they are stuffed electorate facts from the lives of celebrities (and think about why a healthy whole person should worry about intimate details of a person's life, it is absolutely alien?) Or tell scary stories criminal type that occur with surprising regularity in the spaces of ourMotherland.Here and ready social fear: you can not go out into the street - there is a continuous crime;well live only a few, but we are not among them, so everything around is bad and it is necessary to wait for the next blow from fate.
And all this beauty: different kinds of phobias, social fears originate in the fact that adults are called "children's fears."What to do, if they already have?
First, create a healthy friendly environment for both adults and children.No need to read newspapers (I talked about this yet, Professor Transfiguration - remember the "Heart of a Dog").Believe me, the main world news, and so you know - there is a short screen saver news blocks, the Internet, finally, the neighbors!But you insure yourself from unnecessary consumption of huge amounts of frightening information.Also, the filter must be put on TV: crime news, litigation - not to show a healthy person.And when you have in the house will prevail mode of mind (as far as possible, of course!), The stability and the predominance of positive emotions, fears begin to recede - they do not like an environment conducive to the development of a harmonious whole personality.And one more tool to combat fears perfectly described in the book "Harry Potter": if you are afraid of something, laugh at it - with children, this method works by 95% (the remaining percentage - clinical cases).So smile, gentlemen!Smile!
