Many people who don't like dogs think of rabies when they see dogs. The second is that dogs bite people. The third is that once they bite people, people will get rabies. Rabies is a terrible disease. If the mortality rate of infection is 100%, there is only a difference between the morning and the evening. Once the disease occurs, there is no cure case at present.
In fact, fear is a psychological factor of fear. Fear is a very nervous emotional reaction under the influence of terrible situations. Especially when this kind of situation can deprive people of significant needs, such as threatening people's life safety, reputation, future and economic interests, fear will dominate people's whole body and mind. The so-called "terrible situation" does not set any absolute standard, but the main feature is that people lack the ability to deal with or get rid of this situation. The sudden outbreak of an earthquake, a building fire, etc., can make people in terror.
Human emotion is a response to stimuli. It is also the cause of a series of reactions. If the negative emotion is too persistent and the experience is too deep, it will destroy the signal function and regulation function of emotion, and cause the confusion of psychological activities and behavior. Therefore, fear is the most harmful to people's physical and mental health. The pathogenic factors of the external environment and the body itself often lead to the emotional reaction of fear first, and then to the abnormal changes of other psychological and physiological functions.
When fear occurs, it is often accompanied by a series of physiological changes, such as rapid heartbeat or arrhythmia, shortness of breath or pause, high blood pressure, pale face, trembling lips, dry mouth, cold sweat, weakness of limbs and so on. These physiological disorders often lead to or promote the occurrence of physical diseases.
Fear will make people's perception, memory and thinking process obstacles, lose the ability to analyze and judge the current situation, and make behavior disorder. For example, when a hotel is on fire, the people living in the hotel are often flustered, nervous, at a loss, scrambling to run out, and jumping if they can't get out.
So, how to eliminate fear?
Human emotion is the product of society. The object of fear is different, the specific situation is also different, the method of eliminating fear is bound to vary from person to person. It's no use trying to find a universal method. However, since fear is the response of objective stimulation, it must be changed through readjustment and training of objective cognition. Therefore, it can be considered from the following aspects:
(1) Establish a correct outlook on life. Different outlook on life leads to different views on things. Some people attach too much importance to personal fame and material interests, which may often lead to insecurity. When these people are threatened, they will think that everything is over. They will be terrified and difficult to support themselves. Only those who take the world as their duty and melt themselves into the people can be fearless and calm in the face of danger.
(2) Avoid terrible situations. When you encounter a scene that can cause fear, try to avoid or eliminate it. The fear will soon ease down.
(3) Get used to terrible situations. We should dare to touch and touch the things we are afraid of. If we get used to those things and know that they are just like this, we will not be afraid of them. So many people were afraid to speak at the meeting at the beginning, and then went to speak with a stiff head? With everyone's encouragement, they would not be worried about speaking at the meeting in the future, and their facial expressions and movements would be natural.
(4) Learn about it. People's fear of some scenery is related to their lack of knowledge and understanding of the truth, such as thunder and lightning. When you know that this is a normal phenomenon in nature, the fear in nature will be relieved.
(5) Strengthen the training of direct action. This is a way to get rid of your fear by actively and positively touching the things you fear. For example, if you are afraid of speaking in front of people, you should speak in front of them.
How to overcome the fear of dogs?
To overcome the fear of dogs, you need to contact the dog slowly. You will feel that the dog is not terrible at all. When the dog comes, you must not run. The nature of the dog is gentle. The more you run, the more it chases you. On the contrary, if you approach it slowly, it doesn't know how to scare you. First of all, tell yourself that the dog won't bite you casually. Some dogs are quick and alert to strangers. They don't want strangers to touch them and bark. It's instinctive. Don't ignore them. Just stay away from them. Secondly, for a strange dog, don't approach him from behind, or he will think you are going to attack him. You should approach from the front, squat down and open your hands to it to show that you don't mean to attack it. The dog's hind leg is a sensitive part between the two legs. Only the person he trusts can touch it. Strangers should pay attention to it. Finally, don't run when you see the dog. The dog will think you want to play with him, so he will chase you. In fact, he just wants to play with you. Some dogs will bully people, they think you are afraid of it and deliberately scare you, so do not let it think you are afraid of it. Also, don't get close to a female dog with pups. She will attack you because she thinks you want to take her baby. That kind of fierce, barking dog also had better stay away from it.
