2. • There is quite unusual phobia: Are you afraid of the
knees.
It all started when Laura was 11 and witnessed the
moment when his father dislocated his knee. Since
then (now 25) are terrible to see a knee.
This phobia is called Genufobia, which comes from
Greek word "genus", which means knee and "Phobos"
meaning fear. All this has made life more difficult
because you have trouble going to places where
showing knees and her boyfriend, who is about to
marry, play football. That, of course, not to mention
trips to the beach or hot weather, where people tend
to wear clothing that expose this part of the body. In
Sarah's case, fear is also present if someone touches
one of his knees.
3. • How to fight the Panic?
Stay in the present. Realize what you really oponlo is
happening and what you think might happen.
- Grades your fear level from 0 to 10 and see if they rise
or fall. You will see that does not remain at high levels
for more than a few seconds.
- When you are wondering what will happen to change
your thinking and performs a task such as counting
backwards from 100 3 to 3.
- Be aware that when you stop adding feelings of fear
of your situation, your fear begins to subside.
- When the panic comes, accept it. Wait and give it
time to pass without running away.
Be proud / to yourself / a for your progress and think
how good you feel when you overcome it this time.
