Common Questions and Answers about Overcome fear psychologist
fear
That is a specific phobia. Take her to see a child psychologist and they can help her learn to overcome it depending on what the cause of it is.
Since my teenage years I have had a HIV anxiety, I never did any risky activities because of fear of becoming infected. Recently I went in for a massage and the massage lady gave me a handjob at the end and nothing else, she was not a escort only offered a handjob. After I started to feel high anxiety that maybe I got infected by the handjob but every website said it is no risk, that made me feel better for a few days now my OCD kicked in.
Today I had an appointment with Psychologist. She was very nice lady, young and I think very knowleagleble. Not for a minute (my session was suposed to last an hour and it lasted hour and half) I had feeling that she was rushing me. I basically told her what I am finding depressing and I have anxiety about. It all stems from when I retired and all of a sudden I had too much time on my hands and I no longer felt useful.
I suppose talking to a counselor is a start. If the fear is severe, then a psychologist or psychiatrist might be the way to go since medications might be needed to get over the hump until the fear is faced and overcome.
Whatever is going on in your life, I hope you can find someone to help you. Wishing you health and happiness.
You do need to see a psychologist to address this irrational fear. We all have them but when it starts to take over like this, it needs to be addressed. I would think if you could take a shot from your dentist then you can handle any shot! I really don't think you have to worry about passing out. Numbing solutions work, but only enough to keep you from feeling the shot. I have never heard of anyone dying from passing out during a shot.
HIV cannot be transmitted by kissing. The mouth is one of the most hostile environments for the virus and is rendered inactive almost instantly.
Please let that fear go. YOU NEVER HAD A RISK.
Just because you have Asperger's and are afraid of HIV does NOT mean you are a mess! And don't let anybody EVER try to tell you that, including yourself. People with Asperger's are smarter than most of us! And THAT is a fact!
Don't be afraid to speak to your psychologist about these fears.

I suffer from fear of germs resulting in handwashing obsessively and also fear of getting poisened from trees, poisoness plants etc. I do also have obsessive thoughts if I dont do something someone will die that I know. I fear taking new medicines too and if they react to medicine I already take.
m a girl and recently I feel as though I have been starting to have crushes on girls. However, there is always this underlying fear and I really hope I that I am not and that I can't be. I have tried accepting it but it's like my mind won't let me. I think I might have a crush on my best friend who I have known for a long time and we tell each other everything. It mostly just this feeling that i get. I don't know if it's fear and I'm mistaking it for arousal or what.
I have heard of this. It is a fear of strange people watching you eat. People can fear alot of different unrealistic things. I am afraid of spiders. Even little ones and ones that cannot hurt me even if they tried. I do my best to stay away from places that spiders are likely to be. That's just how I handle it. I think you need a different approach. Try sitting in a corner table, or a section with very few people in it. Sit with your back to strangers.
Can you seek help from a psychologist to help you overcome this? To remind you one last time, the risks for HIV are to have unprotected (without condom) penetrating vaginal or anal sex or to share IV needles to inject drugs. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. So, hand jobs and breast sucking are not risks in any way. Anxiety is hard. But it is treatable. Online options for treatment are more and more prevalent and medications to treat are tolerable.
I had a few tattoos in my 20s and this was my initial HIV fear several years ago when I was 30 after finding out a HIV test was standard in a checkup. Negative but wasn't convinced - wrong test, mixed up results, Dr tired of me so made up the result - you name it my horrible OCD has scared me with it. Several tests later I stopped.
You can afford a psychologist -- there are community mental health centers that charge what you can afford. A few psychologists will do this, though fewer than there used to be. You have something called agoraphobia, and you need a therapy called CBT -- cognitive behavioral therapy. You really do need to try and find a way to do this, and soon. And if you do see a psychologist they can also be helpful in deciding if your situation is so bad you need medication.
Agreed. But some of these fears can be overcome. Puppies and chicks tend to be fast moving. Find the right kind of puppy at a pound or store, and I bet his response will be different.
Fear of going crazy is the most common. Really its fear of loosing controll over self. The next time you have this idea challenge yourself. Say to yourself I want more. Instead of running from this feeling say ok.. now its on. I want more come on. Make me crazy...! This isn't a permanent fix but it is a great tool to use for battles with thoughts. And don't beat yourself up. Fear isn't weakness. Fear of going crazy is your worst fear.

Okay so I'm 14 and my first visit with a psychologist is next week. I'm really scared.. I just want to know what's going to happen. I don't fair well with needles. Will they need to do any blood work?
I also feel like people's view of me is going to go way down. It makes sense.. Because, here, everyone is so judgemental that even my fear of heaven makes me a retard. I don't like this school but I have to be here to stay alive.. I'm threatened only by myself into this.
This is such a challenge to overcome anxiety, isn't it? The issues with flying presumably Isn't that often unless you have to fly frequently. But the HIV fears are problematic. Having sex is kind of part of life and our health anxiety disrupting that is sad. I have become more and more convinced that we need to aggressively treat anxiety when it begins to impact us regularly.
Any help would be great. I have been missing classes because of my fear of freaking out while driving back to school.

The groinal response is really annoying and I want to overcome it. The fact that I’m not reacting to these thoughts as frightened as I was in the past has made me believe I am gay. The fact that I’m not the most feminine girl makes me believe I’m am a lesbian. If anyone has tips to over come this please help. The past few months I couldn’t be in public because of how overwhelming the thoughts were. I know I can’t cure OCD but I want to go back to being a 100% straight happy teen.
I know thats the beggining of my fears. But everytime I try to analyze that I find impossible to accept it as a cause for my fear. As if the event runed away from me.
