Obsessive fears. How to deal with them? //Psychological newspaper
To feel that you are being listened to -
it's almost the best thing in the world.
Gregory David Roberts
Considering that recently more and more people are complaining of anxiety, obsessive fears, anxious suspiciousness, phobias, etc.
, I decided to return once again to the problem of obsessive-compulsive disorder in modern man. It is known that obsessive compulsive disorder is the result of acquired mental disorders due to poor passage through the stages of psychosexual development, that is, experiences of certain psychotraumas in the prenatal state, during childbirth and in the infant period. Undoubtedly, the traumas of childhood and adolescence affect. For example, if the mother and father, due to employment, immaturity, do not give the child a basic feeling "I am and good enough" and basic trust in the world, then the child is psycho-emotionally weak, resists socialization and is anxious. An analysis of cases of fear and phobias confirms this fact and shows that the child's perception of the world around him and himself (negative or positive transfer) depends directly on what the mother broadcast on the energy-psychic level during conception, pregnancy and the infantile period of development. For example, if a mother is anxious, projects her neurotic problems onto the child, then the child copies her and then uses her model of responding to stress.
In other words, he becomes as neurotic as she is.
Basic Trust . Early development of deep trust in one's environment. One of the main concepts in Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development: the first crisis in life occurs during the first year and a half, during this time the presence of a loving, reliable and responsible person who takes care of the child leads to the formation of a sense of security and basic trust in the environment world, while an unreliable, uncaring and irresponsible person contributes to the development of anxiety, suspicion and basic distrust.
A woman or a man suffering from obsessions due to their mental immaturity tries to stop time on an unconscious level, they are afraid to go beyond the "comfort zone" because of a deeper fear of changes and expansion of their living space. Resistance to change is also projected when the patient is offered psychological help. It manifests itself in the form of lateness, passive behavior during psychoanalysis, denial of the dynamics of therapy, etc.
Outside of psychotherapy, it can be expressed, for example, in fear for the apartment: "I am afraid that when I am not there, the apartment may catch fire." Of course, in this phrase one can see the problem of fear of society and at the same time a neurotic desire to keep one's comfort zone in the same familiar state. Observing the behavior of such a person (if he is next to you), you must understand that such types with all their might oppose the movement towards development and self-realization on an unconscious level. This is manifested in behavior, psychosomatic state, clothes, etc. Their behavior can be interpreted something like this: “I am afraid of growing up, so I hold on to what I have and to which I am used to. New experience, changes for me dangerous and impossible." In order to better protect his "comfortable space", the neurotic comes up with various defenses, which, as I have already noted, have one task - to protect themselves from reminders that everything passes, changes and develops.
But, the more a person is in this conflict of the soul, the more he is haunted by negative thoughts, images about unpleasant, life-threatening situations. Their flow, as practice shows, can easily lead to depression, phobias, etc. I would like to emphasize that, speaking of obsessive fears, we must understand that this mental disorder always represents a mixed state of various forms of neurosis, which take a person further and further away from a healthy state.
I noted above that obsessive compulsive disorder has its onset in the early stages of development, both in the prenatal state, infancy, and the rest of life in general. When we observe a child suffering from an obsessive neurosis, we can see the manifestation of his mental disorder in obsessive movements. These are coughing, tics, facial expressions, etc. These signals indicate that there is a conflict inside him, neurotic tension, which is thus discharged at an unconscious level. They help to cope with the fears that the child experiences inside the "I".
For example, an obsessive fear of physical abuse by a parent may manifest as a tick in the eye. At the same time, you should know that obsessive fears do not go away with age if the child is not provided with psychological assistance. They are transformed... For example, the same obsessive fear of punishment may further manifest itself in adolescence in the form of a fear of getting sick or declaring oneself, marking one's boundaries in a team, I-Thou relations, etc. It happens that a teenager, a young person has immoral thoughts, obsessive inclinations, as a product of obsessive fear, which in turn only aggravates the neurotic state. All this explains the dynamics in the unconscious of a neurotic: he perceives himself and the issue related to the safety of his living space in a distorted way. One young man during the session said the following about this: “I can’t build relationships with girls in any way. I have obsessive thoughts that they are dangerous, they can’t be trusted ... When I meet a girl, I become cautious, try to anticipate what they are plotting against me. As a result, I am afraid to risk going further in the relationship. Further changes and the future scare me ... I am covered in fog, apathy, and I break up with the girl ... ".
Obsessive fear makes a person build high fences, install video surveillance, stuff closets with clothes, etc. All this also suggests that the basis of obsessive fear is the fear of death and the obsessive desire to protect oneself from it. For this reason, the neurotic with such difficulty accepts those situations and those people who, according to sensations, invade his living space. By accumulating drugs, things, the neurotic, as it were, protects himself from the future, in which he always sees himself not in joyful, fertile colors. Thus, he defends himself from his own fear, or rather, creates for some time the illusion "I will be fine." But this only works for a while, much like a glass of vodka for an alcoholic.
Lack of the ability to realize that life is changeable and not subject to conscious control, let alone neurotic calculation, makes a neurotic unhappy. He constantly resists his nature and tries to remake, as I said above, everything in his own way. Since the law of the mirror works in the universe, as a result of such behavior, the neurotic himself feels that they want to crush him and remake him. For example, in a relationship with a loved one, a neurotic with obsessive fear transfers to another what he himself would like to do with another. A person who has undergone psychoanalysis understands this behavior, therefore, more often he listens to another, knowing that he, first of all, speaks about himself. For example, a person's fear of losing control can be indicated by his frequent denial of the information received. In my practice, this can be observed in the form of distrust of the content of dreams and doubt that psychotherapy can help. For psychoanalysis, this is the material, the study of which will help the client to recover.
It is also necessary to know that a neurotic suffering from obsessive fear often strives by any means to achieve power (in a family, team, etc. ), acquire knowledge and skills in order to protect himself from an undesirable, unpleasant situation. But this, as a rule, does not help. Practice shows that within his "I" indecision, doubt, anxiety only intensify. One of my clients said about this: "I have an obsessive fear that I'm not attractive and smart enough ... I graduated from three institutes, all with honors. And what do you think - what is the result? I doubt myself even more, each one causes anxiety a case when I lose control, especially when I had to go to you, it was very difficult, because I did not know you, it was not clear to me how we would work with you, etc. I was terrified. .. At the same time, I vaguely understood that this is my problem, the problem of people who, out of fear, want something in life, but cannot get it, because they cannot decide.”
Similar cases from my practice show how difficult it is for a person in such a state to take a step towards himself, towards life. And this is just because, as I wrote above, his weak, traumatized "I" is experiencing a terrible fear of personal responsibility.
Personalities prone to obsessions are so anxious, prudent that in life they are very pedantic, stuck in their viscous conclusions. Their behavior is well illustrated by the following well-known joke: “One man, having got to heaven, saw two doors with signs: “The door to the kingdom of heaven” and “The door to a lecture on the kingdom of heaven.” He thought and entered the second one. Look around you and you will see such people. Such types are afraid of big money, before marriage, the birth of a child, a possible career. The extreme manifestation of fear of personal responsibility is a phobia.
A few words about phobias
In addition to the obsessive fear “have I closed the gas”, “have I closed the apartment”, “I will lose my job”, etc., there are other, more complex, strong forms of obsessive fears called "phobias".
Sociophobia , which includes peyrophobia (obsessive fear - fear of public speaking), agoraphobia (fear of open spaces), anthropophobia (fear of people, especially strangers), philophobia - (fear of falling in love), etc.
Claustrophobia (from lat. claustrum - closed + phobos - fear) - obsessive fear - fear of enclosed spaces, fear of enclosed spaces, confined spaces, elevators ...
Xenophobia (from Greek kseno - alien + phobos - fear) - intolerance towards someone or something alien, unfamiliar, unusual.
Thanatophobia (from Greek thanatos - death + phobos - fear) - obsessive fear - fear of sudden sudden death.
It is known that in the event of a phobia, it is not so much the psychic trauma that is important, but fixation (negative anchor) on the primary fright (what frightened). For example, an obsessive fear of death suggests that a person has a problem with the ability to love, to be emotionally open. He unconsciously feels that the emotional sphere is closed, and in this respect he is a corpse. Such examples of interpretation make us understand that a phobia is a multidimensional mental disorder in which the patient experiences panic attacks, depression and anxiety. The most common signs of a panic attack (panic attack) are: palpitations, choking, feeling like you are about to faint, cold sweats, etc.
So, we understand that what we accumulate and suppress at the mental level then comes out in the form of fears, phobias and other obsessive states. They signal through the body, dreams and emotional level about an internal conflict that is asking to be conscious and resolved. And here, as always, the question arises of how to do it. And, of course, I will answer: to realize yourself. Become aware of what creates tension and fear within us. Z. Freud, describing the mechanism of the work of repressed life urges, outlined the following: “In erroneous actions - reservations, forgetfulness, mistakes - everything that was suppressed breaks through, and in the form of errors the feeling of guilt and conscious forbidden desires are bypassed, distorted publicity is given to what what needs to be covered." If a person conquers his fear and comes to a psychoanalyst in order to overcome the protection from internal "demons" in the form of obsessive processes, then he has a chance to become a saint.
In other words, able to bring light into your inner and outer world. Turning his face to his evil, dirty thoughts, to numbing fear, a person, like a hero of a fairy tale, myth, defeats them and further understands that he is the master of his life, and not those negative programs that were formed at the beginning of his existence. He begins to understand more and more that everything in life has a meaning, and you never need to run away from him. A Latin proverb says: "No matter how violently you expel nature, it always returns." This is what happens at the unconscious level, so always strive to know what gives you in this regard the inner "I" and the general information field.
How can I help myself?
In addition to working with your psychoanalyst, learn to breathe properly and control your body. By introspection, you will gradually become aware of the meaning of your fear, and with special techniques you will work with the body's reactions to fear. More often, as I noted above, this is a failure of breathing, various sensations in the muscles (heaviness, numbness, etc.
). Below are a few techniques that have helped and continue to help my students.
Breathing exercise "I calm down"
In the process of working on your psycho-emotional state, you need to monitor your breathing. This is very important, as concentration and breathing training, as well as body-oriented techniques, are an integral part of the self-corrective process.
Breathing is closely related to the internal psycho-emotional state. Confirmation of this is a violation of the rhythm of breathing, a deterioration in well-being in obsessive-compulsive disorder. So, to begin with, feel how you breathe, how you inhale and exhale ...
Breathing deeply and slowly can be practiced anywhere. But for the first workouts, it is convenient for you to choose a place where it is calm, clean air and no one will disturb you for 5-10 minutes.
Progress of the exercise
Sit in a chair... Close your eyes.
