Bayside Psychotherapy>Phobias

Fear of Heights

Do you feel dizzy and queasy looking down from a high place? Do you feel disproportionately panicky crossing bridges, or riding in lifts with glass walls?

Are you afraid of public places, crowds or open spaces? Perhaps even unable to leave home at all?

Most people hate going to the dentist, but does even the thought of it make you break out in a sweat?

Does your dread of needs make every vaccination and blood test a terrifying ordeal?

No one likes vomiting, but does the thought of it - no matter how unlikely it is to occur - make you feel sick or dizzy?

Do you feel like screaming and clawing your way out into the fresh air when you’re trapped in what for others seems like a completely normal space?

Social Phobia (Social Anxiety)

Do you experience fear in social situations? Are you gripped by extreme anxiety and panic at even the thought of going into society?

Does the prospect of intimacy or intercourse make you feel seriously anxious or panicky?

Public Speaking Fear

Does the idea of presenting a speech paralyse you with fear?

Does your fear of flying stop you from ever getting on a plane? Do you feel like you're missing out?

Specific Phobia

Does some other phobia interfere with your life? Are there everyday things that you find frightening for no good reason?
