Search by Phobia Name or Symptoms

There are many forms of phobias and while some of these are well known and suffered by a large number of people, many of them are particularly obscure and virtually unheard of. One of these particularly obscure fears is Homichlophobia which is the irrational and illogical fear of fog. Homichlophobia is the fear of fog or humidity. People tend to fear the fog because it is hard to drive in and can lead to an accident. Homichlophobia is considered to be a specific phobia; the fear of fog can be associated with a number of things. People suffering from this problem consider fog to be the perfect cover for something to be hiding in.
What are the causes?
It is generally accepted that phobias arise from a combination of external events (i.e. traumatic events) and internal predispositions (i.e. heredity or genetics). Many specific phobias can be traced back to a specific triggering event, usually a traumatic experience at an early age. Social phobias and agoraphobia have more complex causes that are not entirely known at this time. It is believed that heredity, genetics, and brain chemistry combine with life-experiences to play a major role in the development of phobias.
Symptoms:-
As with any phobia, the symptoms vary by person depending on their level of fear. The symptoms typically include extreme anxiety, dread and anything associated with panic such as shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, excessive sweating, nausea, dry mouth, nausea, inability to articulate words or sentences, dry mouth and shaking.
Treatment:-
Energy Psychology
Energy Psychology is a type of therapy that uses various techniques, such as acupressure, yoga, t ai chi, prana, qi gong, and energy medicine, which teach people simple steps for making changes in their lives. The techniques stimulate energy points on the surface of the skin which, when paired with specific psychological procedures, can shift the brain’s electrochemistry. While this type of therapy is still a controversial area, it appears to be very help with dealing with phobias.
