Freud called this condition "neurosis ...

Freud called this a state of "anxiety neurosis". The second form of fear, as opposed to just described, mentally more connected and connected to certain objects or situations. It is a fear in the form of an extremely diverse and often very strange "phobia." Some of the objects and situations that inspire fear among neurotics and normal people, is something terrible and are related to risk, and therefore these phobias seem to us clear, though exaggerated by its strength. For example, widespread fear of reptiles: snakes, frogs, as well as mice, rats, etc. Or fears associated with the risk of flying on an airplane and drive a car. However, what strikes us in these phobias neurotic - so it's not so much of their content, how much intensity. Fear of phobias just indescribable! There is another group of phobias, which are generally difficult to understand rationally. As such can be considered irrational fear of open or closed spaces, or many phobias of animals. At this point, there are several important issues. Is it possible to neurotic fear, in which risk plays no role, and link with the real fear is always a reaction to danger? And how should we understand the neurotic fear? Productive, apparently, is the assumption that where there is fear, has to be something that people fear. Clinical psychoanalysis finds a causal connection between the processes in the sexual life and the state of fear. Under certain conditions (the practice was interrupted sexual intercourse, sexual abstinence, etc.), sexual arousal disappears, and instead it appears the fear in various forms. Libido (sexual arousal) is replaced by fear. Thus, analysts say that the neurotic fear I am a patient tries to escape from the demands of their sexual desires, treating this request as a threat. However, under the influence of psychological defenses (eg, displacement, projection, and offset) the risk is perceived as internal, but as coming from outside: forming one or other phobia. Freud likened the phobia from the trenches against external danger, which actually is a fearsome sexual desire. Counseling psychologist, therapist
