Is this a good way to get over your fear?

Question

Imagine a scary clown. Instead of being scared by the clown, say to it calmly, "If you come near me, I'll KILL you." Then imagine yourself beating the clown to death.

Do you think that's a good way of getting over your fear?

I just thought of this earlier at first after I finished watching a clip of something I've been scared of for YEARS. That was only a short clip, and not scary enough, but I think it works.

Imagining yourself as very powerful and stronger than your fear.

you're right, it was that clown, I won't even name that creature.

Answer 1

Sometimes it doesn't pay to get over your fears. Especially balding men. Scientists found that being frightened is a hair raising event.

Answer 2

Sure y not! Add some fun to your fear. Watever, use a machine gun to kill the clown, call Arnold to help you terminate that bugger. Use your imagination and it'll help you. im sure these clowns won't hurt you, coz u control them.

I too had a similar experience like that. I viewed some suicide photos on the internet (thinking that i won't be so squimish bout it) but i was wrong. I couldn't sleep for the whole night and it bothered me for almost a year. I told myself to go back to that website and look again at those photos. Somehow it wasn't so bad. Now im not so scared bout it, but i do have another fear to conquer :)

Dun worry all would be fine! :)

Answer 3

well yes you could us that, but i think it would be better to just go up to the clown, and say i am not afraid of you, you are not real, you can not harm me, you must of watched steven kings movie, "IT", cause you are using a clown for the example, other wise could not tell you if we do not know what they fear is, then can help, so i just figured it was a clown.
