Instructions
Step 1
If you want to eliminate fear, don't expect quick and easy victories. Fighting fear is a volitional effort and time-consuming exercise. If you eventually manage to defeat fear, you will make significant progress in personal development.
Step 2
An example is the fear of snakes. Some people suffer from this phobia. It is based on an unconscious fear of death. After all, snakes in some cases really pose a threat to life. If you want to get rid of fear, you must look it "right in the eye."
Step 3
It is not required that you come to the terrarium and look into the eyes of the snakes. This is dangerous for the psyche, fear can increase many times over. A meeting with an object that causes horror must be done in stages.
Step 4
Position yourself as far away from the snake as possible. To do this, contact the person who is raising or holding the snake. These are photographers who offer to take a picture with a python or a boa constrictor. Ask the person with the snake to move back about 50 meters. You will feel a little fear because the snake is far away. After standing 5-10 minutes away from the source of the phobia, cope with anxiety, bring the nervous system to a state of rest. You will get better results if you have someone close to you to support you.
Step 5
Next time, reduce the distance between you and the snake to 40 meters. If the fear is too strong, reduce the distance gradually, by 1-2 meters per session. Since the snake is far away and poses no danger, the subconscious fear of death will gradually decrease. This means that the fear of snakes will decrease.
Step 6
At the final stage, when the distance between you and the snake is minimal, you should pet the snake or pick it up. At this point, get rid of the fear completely. The example described here is suitable for dealing with any phobias.
