Phobias
Our bodies are designed to alert us to danger, triggering the fight-or-flight response when we perceive a threat. However, phobias are persistent, exaggerated fears that can activate this response even when no real danger is present. These fears may develop in childhood or appear unexpectedly later in life, shaping the way we navigate the world.
Just as we learn that touching a hot stove can cause harm, our brains can associate other experiences with danger, reinforcing fear-based responses. When left unaddressed, phobias can limit daily life, create distress, and feel overwhelming.
At Ari Therapy, we help you unpack the root of your phobias, using desensitization techniques, cognitive strategies, and behavioral approaches to help you regain control and reduce fear responses over time.
