5 signs of CLAUSTROPHOBIA

Описание: Have you experienced this?✨I've previously shared a video about Agoraphobia, which is often confused with Claustrophobia. Agoraphobia involves a fear of situations where it might be hard to escape or get help if needed, whereas Claustrophobia is a specific fear of enclosed spaces. Agoraphobia centres around the difficulty of leaving a situation, while Claustrophobia focuses on feeling trapped in confined spaces.✨Knowing the specific type of anxiety problem or phobia you have can help tailor the right treatment or self-help approach, so that it’s more effective at targeting your fears.

✨Evidence based treatment for Claustrophobia has several aspects to it. Firstly, understanding the phobia and the patterns of unhelpful thoughts that go with it, learning relaxation skills to prepare you for facing your fears and overcoming avoidance, building tolerance for uncomfortable sensations and emotions, gradually facing enclosed spaces through exposure, and processing any traumatic experiences linked to the Claustrophobia, especially its onset. This step-by-step and comprehensive approach is evidenced to help people regain control of their lives and overcome this phobia. See my book 📚Ten Times Calmer for, which has hundreds of practical tools, insights, and advice on the 'how to's' of dealing with anxiety problems.
