For instance, it might’ve been normal for your father to push your mother, or for your mother to tell you how stupid and worthless you were when you made a mistake. But these were abusive interactions, NOT healthy or normal ones. Now that you’re an adult, it’s time to take a step back and see these behaviors for what they were – cruel, hurtful, damaging. And it was not your fault.

In the event the phobia cannot be avoided entirely the sufferer will endure the situation or object with marked distress and significant interference in social or occupational activities.
