There are a lot of phobias in the world, some of them, like fear of height or darkness, are quite common, others - make us wonder how you can ever be so afraid. One of these phobias is the fear of holes and holes, while someone scares only the indentations in the body, while others cause a shiver to look like honeycombs.
Fear when there are many holes, what a phobia?
A very strange fear, appearing at the sight of a cluster of holes, is called triphobobia . Not all people experiencing discomfort at the sight of holes, can explain what exactly scares them. Some people think that holes can completely absorb them, while others feel a shiver at the thought of darkness inside such holes. While the study of triphophobia is at the initial stage, it is not yet possible to pinpoint the causes of such fears. British scientists suggest that the phobia of holes and holes is caused by evolutionary fear of poisonous animals. As a result of the test it was found out that the coloring of some animals causes similar feelings in tryptophobes with the contemplation of various holes. Other researchers believe that the phobia of holes in the body is caused by a natural fear of various diseases, and the abundance of holes does not look healthy.
Do not confuse the usual disgust before the appearance of the holes and trypophobia. The latter is characterized by the appearance of tremors, dizziness, nausea, impaired coordination and reduced efficiency. Also, the appearance of irritants can lead to increased sweating, the appearance of allergic formations and blanching. Such sensations can be caused by openings in products (bread, cheese, honeycomb, bubbles on the surface of coffee),
It should be noted that trypophobia is not considered a separate disease, including it in the division of obsessions and fears . That's why they treat her with psycho-correction methods. In the case of triphophobia, desensitization is often used, substitution in the state of deep relaxation of disturbing images for other, more vivid ones. Also, if necessary, a specialist can prescribe antidepressants, sedatives and anti-allergenic drugs. In addition to individual classes for the treatment of triphophobia, group activities and independent exercises are used. In rare cases of very severe forms of the disease, there is a need for enhanced medication.
