as the elevator closes、your throat tightens、hands sweat、and mind races from one horrible thought to another. What if the doors won''t open? You begin to panic and pull at your clothes in desperation. If this terror sounds familiar、you may suffer from claustrophobia.
Claustrophobia is an anxiety disorder involving the fear of confined spaces. When a claustrophobic is in an enclosed space、he or she may be prone to have panic attacks. Some claustrophobics may even pass out if they feel overwhelmed by a situation. To avoid these feelings、they try to keep away from circumstances that trigger the dreaded panic. Subways、buses、or other forms of mass transportation where people are packed side by side could set off an attack. Instead of getting around in this manner、a claustrophobic will choose to drive、walk、or ride a bike instead.
Treatment for claustrophobia is available and with determination、it can be overcome. These elements are psychoeducation、breathing re-training、cognitive therapy、and virtual reality (VR) exposure. The aim of psychoeducation is to educate the patient. In this element、they learn about the claustrophobia that plagues them. Breathing re-training is a way for patients to relearn how to breathe naturally. Cognitive therapy helps patients learn and interpret their claustrophobia. Lastly、there''s VR exposure.
Claustrophobia can be cured. Patients must be willing to work hard to help release themselves from the locked doors of this disorder.
