How can conquer fear
|
there is a sure and simple way to eliminate fear from your life. this is the opinion of the many modern psychiatrists who now use behaviour therapy to desensitize and eliminate the fear impulse, itself, instead of going through a long, tedious, and very expensive psychoanalysis to seek the early, initial cause, usually rooted in some vague, repulsive childhood experience.
behavior therapy also called desensitization therapy simply means confronting and attacking your fear directly by doing the thing you fear until you desensitize the fear reaction by exhausting it's response.
this can be begun in the imagination. begin with the mildest possible stimulus. for example, in eliminating the "dirt phobia", one would begin by imagining a speck of dirt. then imagine coming into contact with more and more dirt.
when the fear of dirt was "desensitized" in the imagination, reality would be substituted for imagination by actually touching a real speck of dirt. then actually handling more and more dirt.
by repeatedly and increasingly doing the thing you fear, you "desensitize" your response.
actually you exhaust your fear which is why this is called the fear exhaustion method of behavior therapy.
continue increasingly to do the thing you fear your fear will be eliminated.
i tell you this from personal experience.
when i was a little boy, i stammered so badly i could hardly speak and then my embarrassed efforts were accompanied by the mimicking ridicule of other children and the unwelcome sympathy of grown-ups. i feared being called upon to recite in class. in fact i feared the necessity of speaking anytime, anywhere.
when i graduated from high school i was excused from delivering my senior speech because i stammered so badly that i would have been jeered right off the platform.
about that time, i learned that if you continue increasingly to do the thing you fear your fear will be eliminated. since stammering is caused by self consciousness and fear of speaking, i knew i had to speak at every oppoutunity.
first i whispered and later spoke aloud at home alone in front of my mirror, then i spoke to individuals then to small groups finally to large audiences.
in the beginning, i went through the torments of hell doing it. but i knew i had to do the thing i feared if i were to overcome it. the more i spoke, the less i feard to speak until the fear was gone, so the stammering was gone.
i increasingly did the thing i feared until the fear was gone.
i learned then and i have continued to use this methods successfully to eliminate all fears throughout a lifetime.
