It's why women sometimes stay with their abusive husbands because of love even though they logically know full well they live in hell and are much better off without him. Fear is an emotion, and when emotions and logic clash there is no place for logic. Cognitive behaviour therapy: emotions are triggered by thoughts. You can change your reactions to trigger events. Just google CBT and look at a wiki article if you want to know more. | ||

Just google CRB and look at a wiki article if you want to know more. Yeah, but a psychologist doesn't just tell you "what? You shouldn't fear spiders. I don't fear spiders, you shouldn't. Get on with it," and then show his patient the door. That's his idea of a psychologist. It takes lots of hard work to get over severe psychological fears or phobias, just thinking that my behavior is irrational isn't going to quell any fear. | ||

Just google CBT and look at a wiki article if you want to know more. Unfortunately CBT is not as simple as identifying the problem and its gone. Fear is a primal instinct and a defense mechanism that serves a very useful function in the right circumstance. It keeps us safe from the various dangers in life. So it's not easy to just overcome that fundamental part of our humanity. You need to take small steps and remove your fears and anxieties one step at a time. Travel anxiety is so hard to deal with (especially flying) cause there really are no small steps. I guess britain to sweden is about as small as it gets going abroad. I can really sympathize with Demuslim though as I've experienced panic attacks of a similar sort. It's one of the most chocking and uncomfortable things you could imagine. Because you know what it is but you still can't stop it until you learn to calm down in a very specific manner (atleast that's how it worked for me). I can imagine how frightening it must be to be lost in a country where most people can't speak english. As demuslim was a war3 pro at younger ages I'm guessing this may have happened when he attended such events? Anyways I wish Ben could feel safe in sweden. There are so many people that speaks english well and we like to help people most of the time . I wish I could somehow help but unfortunately I'm nowhere near DH and do not have the economical means to get over there. | ||

CBT actually says that emotions and thoughts are linked, so yes a thought can trigger an emotion, but it can also work the other way round. | ||

I guess you can respect DeMuslim for his honesty. Too bad we won't get to see him. Props to him though. | ||

I'm sure it was scary to be lost in foreign lands as a teenager, but as a grown man it just seems irrational. As an adult, people must overcome their irrational fears in order to function in society. You can't just close yourself up and expect things to work out because they won't. And now he's missing the biggest tourney in Europe because he's afraid of something that doesn't actually exist. it doesnt have to be rational, you can completely understand there is nothing to be worried about and still experience the physical symptoms of a panic attack. its uncontrollable and its very debilitating, often you feel like you cant breathe like someones sitting on your chest and very nauseous. its something thats very hard to deal with. | ||
