Fears and Phobias Fear is not a bad thing - it keeps us safe by preventing our doing things that could be dangerous. However, fears can become phobias, where you find that you are frightened of things but don't know why. This can hold you back because you can't stop the fear and probably can't remember why it started; even so, the fear can be dealt with. If you can remember the cause, changing the way that you feel about the past event can liberate you in the present.
