Hablar de fobias es hablar de miedo, ya sea que esta se haya presentado por alguna situación que hayas vivido y que con la sola idea de pensarlo ya entras en pánico. Es un miedo que te paraliza y no te deja avanzar, y que si enfrentamos con gallardía, disposición y fe podemos salir de ella. Todos en algún momento lo hemos experimentado, creo que hasta los mejores coah, comunicadores, ministros entre otros lo hemos vivido.
Existen muchos tipos de fobias, las que conozco como miedo a las alturas (acrofobia), miedo a estar en un lugar cerrado (claustrofobia) entre otras. Existen muchos mas tipos de fobias que podemos sufrir desde los niños hasta los adultos, dependiendo de cuanto afecte tu vida diaria se requiere de terapia que ayude a superar esos miedos y como producto de ello la ansiedad. Cabe destacar, que muchas veces no le damos importancia hasta que nos toca vivirla y enfrentarla causando problemas que llegan afectar el curso normal de nuestra vida como la historia que les voy a contar a continuación.
Cuando era muy pequeña vivíamos en un barrio de mi amada Venezuela y carecíamos de agua potable por ende mi madre tenia que salir a buscar agua en botellones para cocinar y tomar y para bañarnos ella nos mandaba con mis hermanas algo así como una especie de riachuelo cerca de casa, por supuesto íbamos con mis hermanos y cual muchacho por supuesto inventador empezaron hacer competencias de quien pasaba mas rápido y bueno yo osada quise participar. El caso es que cuando me toco a mi me lanzo al riachuelo pero teníamos que pasar unos obstáculos, unas tablas de madera que habían colocado para que pasáramos por debajo, cuando estoy pasando me quedo enganchada en uno de los alambres que tenían las tablas, entre en pánico porque no podía salir, me estaba ahogando y empece a darle con las manos a la tabla, los chicos se dieron cuenta y me sacaron. A partir de allí no quise saber nada del agua jejeje, ni rio ni playa, y eso que me encanta la playa, cuando voy obviamente me quedo en la orilla porque siempre vienen a mi memoria eso momentos vividos, osea mi fobia fue por experiencias vividas.
No asistí a terapia, pensé que haciendo un curso de natación se me pasaría...pero no! jeje fue peor, en una de las clases de natación casi ahogo al profesor jajaj de la pena no volví. Actualmente siento lo mismo le tengo fobia a meterme en el agua, pero no al extremo, si es en la playa me baño en la orilla y si es una piscina pues me quedo cerca de las escaleras. En mi trabajo me mandaron hacer un curso de combate aire-mar-tierra y no pude hacerlo, el solo saber que tenia que lanzarme al mar fue muy fuerte para mi. Ya me quede así jejeje no juego con fuego jajaja. Pero si recomiendo que si sufres de alguna fobia acudas por ayuda.
Siempre es bueno buscar ayuda cuando la fobia o el miedo es insuperable o dificulte tu vida diaria. Personalmente mi fobia no dificulta mi vida ya que no me la paso ni en piscina ni en la playa jeje, pero cuando llega la fobia al extremo buscar ayuda profesional es la mejor alternativa, eso si.......enfrentarlas con valor y creyendo que si puedes superarlas.

Hello to all these beautiful people who strive every day to get ahead despite the different circumstances that life presents them. I haven't written to you for a while for personal reasons, but I hope to continue contributing a little more of my knowledge and to welcome each post on very important topics in our daily lives that we often don't share, either out of shame or criticism. In this case, I'll tell you a little about this initiative proposed by our friend @charjaim about the phobias or fears we face due to situations we've experienced. Thank you, friend, for never forgetting me and always inviting me to your initiatives, which are extremely interesting.
Talking about phobias is talking about fear, whether it's a result of a situation you've experienced or just the thought of it sends you into a panic. It's a fear that paralyzes you and prevents you from moving forward, and if we face it with courage, determination, and faith, we can overcome it. We've all experienced it at some point; I think even the best coaches, communicators, ministers, and others have.
There are many types of phobias, including fear of heights (acrophobia), fear of being in an enclosed space (claustrophobia), and others. There are many more types of phobias that we can suffer from, from children to adults. Depending on how much they affect our daily lives, therapy is required to help us overcome these fears and, as a result, anxiety. It's worth noting that we often overlook them until we actually experience them and confront them, causing problems that can affect the normal course of our lives, like the story I'm about to tell you.
When I was very little we lived in a neighborhood of my beloved Venezuela and we lacked drinking water so my mother had to go out and get water in bottles to cook and drink and to bathe she would send my sisters and I to something like a stream near our house, of course we went with my brothers and like a boy of course an inventor they started having competitions to see who could cross the fastest and well I daringly wanted to participate. The thing is that when it was my turn I jumped into the stream but we had to go through some obstacles, some wooden boards that had been placed for us to pass under, when I was passing through I got caught in one of the wires that the boards had, I panicked because I couldn't get out, I was drowning and I started hitting the board with my hands, the boys noticed and pulled me out. From then on, I didn't want to know anything about water, haha, neither river nor beach, and even though I love the beach, when I go I obviously stay on the shore because those lived moments always come back to me, I mean, my phobia was due to lived experiences.
I didn't go to therapy, I thought taking a swimming class would make it go away... but no! Hehe, it was worse, in one of the swimming classes I almost drowned the teacher, haha, I didn't go back, I was so embarrassed. Currently, I feel the same; I have a phobia of going into the water, but not to the extreme. If it's at the beach, I swim by the shore, and if it's a pool, I stay near the stairs. At work, they made me take an air-sea-land combat course, and I couldn't do it. Just knowing that I had to jump into the sea was really hard for me. I'm like that now, haha, I don't play with fire, haha. But I do recommend that if you suffer from any phobia, you seek help.
It's always good to seek help when the phobia or fear is insurmountable or makes your daily life difficult. Personally, my phobia doesn't make my life difficult since I don't spend much time in the pool or at the beach, hehe. But when the phobia reaches its extreme, seeking professional help is the best option. That's true... facing it with courage and believing that you can overcome it.
