Walnut Creek, California
You know it is irrational. That has never once helped.
Flying, driving over the bridge, needles, lifts, speaking in front of eleven people. You can explain the statistics perfectly, and your body has never been interested in the statistics.
This might be you if
- You plan your life quietly around avoiding it
- You have been talked out of it by well meaning people many times
- The reaction arrives well before the thought does
- It has narrowed what you say yes to
Reason is talking to the wrong department
The fear is not held where your logic lives, which is precisely why your logic keeps losing the argument. Nothing is wrong with your reasoning. It simply has no jurisdiction there.
Where these usually come from
Very often one event, sometimes borrowed from somebody else, occasionally so early that you have no narrative memory of it at all. You do not need to remember it for it to be reachable, which surprises people.
This is what these methods are best at
A single specific fear with a clear trigger is among the most workable things I see. It is contained, it has an origin, and it is not woven through your whole history. People often move on this faster than on anything else they came in with.
How I would work with this
You have organized a lot of your life around this. You do not have to keep doing that.
