On Our Sense of Control


Phobia 101.

Having lived with a phobia the majority of my life (family videos document its origins to the early 1980's), I've explored the supposed myriad of reasons why it has come into existence in the first place, in hopes of getting to the root - and eventually rid of - this particular semi-debilitating problem. Traumatic childhood experience? None that I can recall. An extraordinary need for an industrial-strength sense of control? No more than any other borderline type A personality (though others may beg to differ). Avoided said behavior until forgotten how not-so-bad it is? No question, and still do, because (to me) it is that bad. And as its origins begin to make sense, contemplating how to obliterate the phobia is a whole other beast to tackle on another (much braver) day. Enjoy!
