is there is a way to get rid of claustrophobia?

Answer 1

There are a few kinds of therapy to cure the phobia:

* Flooding - This is a form of exposure treatment, where the patient is exposed to confined spaces. The realisation that they have encountered their most dreaded object or situation, and come to no actual harm, can be a powerful form of therapy.
* Counter-conditioning - This is a method of systematic desensitization, whereby the patient is taught to use specific relaxation and visualisation techniques when experiencing phobia-related anxiety. The phobic trigger is slowly introduced, step-by-step, while the person concentrates on attaining physical and mental relaxation. Eventually, they can confront the source of their fear without feeling anxious.
* Modelling - Similarly, this is where a patient is shown people flooding, and are encouraged to mimic the confidence.
* Cognitive behaviour therapy - the person is encouraged to confront and change the specific thoughts and attitudes that lead to feelings of fear.
* Medications - Drugs such as tranquilizers and anti-depressants. Drugs known as beta blockers may be used to treat the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as a pounding heart.

Answer 2

Absolutely! Phobias are of course very scary, but are among the easiest mental disorders to treat. Try cognitive behavior therapy or systematic desensitization. You'll probably start out picturing what you fear, and learning relaxation techniques to relieve your anxiety. Then once you can imagine it without being anxious, you'll move on to something that makes you a little more anxious, etc. Eventually your phobia will be gone or a lot more manageable!
