Intense fears can make everyday situations feel overwhelming and lead you to avoid things that matter to you. Support can help you understand your fears, build confidence and gradually feel more comfortable in situations that once felt difficult.
People who experience intense feelings of fear, insecurity and/or worry about more every day encounters (such as a using a public toilet, or having a vaccination when needed) is likely to evoke an unhelpful avoidance response. Learning to overcome the automatic avoid response and better cope with the feelings of fear/worry becomes very important in working through these issues.
There is hope. There are effective, evidenced based treatments for insecurities, fears, worrying and addressing specific phobias.
There is a lot we can do to support, guide and assist you to cope and manage these problems. To find out more about how Northside Psychology may be able to help, get in touch with our team here.
