Many people know that before a phobia all people are equal, and age does not matter. But it is commonly believed that phobias often occur in children. Especially they are frightened by fear of the dark, and the name of such a phobia is no-phobia. It is impossible to disagree with the fact that almost every child faced such a phobia as a fear of the dark, especially when the parents were not at home. The same can be experienced during the game, when other kids lock their friend in a dark room. But it was still in the distant childhood, when the perception of such situations did not seem serious. The situation is quite different with the fact that the fear of darkness did not disappear with age, but only increased. Are there methods that help get rid of the phobia of darkness?
Causes of no-phobia
The main reasons for the appearance of a phobia, like the fear of darkness, are:
- fear of death;
- nervous tension;
- genetic predisposition:
- fear of loneliness ;
- sense of unknowing.
Often, the fear of loneliness and a feeling of insecurity arises in those who were not given enough attention in childhood, who were thrown alone in a dark room or told terrible stories for the child to go to bed. The child's psyche is much more receptive than the adult, so children take seriously the tales of a monster living under the bed. An adult who suffers from no-phobia may not know where his fear came from, considering his fear to be childish and stupid. Sensation of the unknown has to be experienced almost everyone, as soon as he finds himself in a dark unfamiliar room, since a person does not have a night vision. If such a feeling arises from the fact that once a dangerous situation occurred in the dark, you need to convince yourself that there is no more danger and nothing will do harm.
