Fears are an emotional response to a percieved threat.... and is also the related to the specific behaviours of escape and avoidance.

However you are not truly scared of that thing... you are scared of WHAT PERCIEVED HARM IT COULD do... thus the fear is irrational

Example.... People scared of heights. It is irrational to actually be scared of the HEIGHT as the height cannot do you harm...however you think that falling at such a great height can and the threat that poses then creates anxiety and avoidance!


So here is what irrational fears i have:

Spiders (They might kill me!!)

Torture (seen too many films)

Turbulance (you just think its the end)

Driving over bridges with water underneath (might fall off)

What are your PERCIEVED fears (explain why)
