FEAR VS YOU.

The universal trigger for fear is the threat of harm, real or imagined. This threat can be for our physical, emotional or psychological well-being. While there are certain things that trigger fear in most of us, we can learn to become afraid of nearly anything.

Common fear triggers:

• Darkness or loss of visibility of surroundings

• Heights and flying

• Social interaction and/or rejection

• Snakes, rodents, spiders and other animals

• Death and dying

Moods and disorders

Persistent fear can sometimes be referred to as anxiety if we feel constantly worried without knowing why. The inability to identify the trigger prevents us from being able to remove ourselves, or the actual threat, from the situation. 

While anxiety is a common experience for many people, it can be considered

a disorder when it is recurrent, persistent, intense, and interferes with basic life tasks such as work and sleep.
