#IndieBookBanter & #UKIndieLitFest are here to #SpreadTheWord check out this amazing #Blog about #Fear by Maria Gibbs @gibbsdream #WordPress #IARTG
Fear is something each and every one of us has experienced at some point in our lives whether it be a rational fear which is an appropriate response to a real situation or a perceived threat or an irrational fear or phobia.
What triggers fear?
Rational fear can be a natural response to a situation which threatens danger or a response to a horrible experience. The basis of an irrational fear is a lot harder to pinpoint but it could be a learnt behaviour seen by a parent or someone else, it can be a response to a bad dream which has carried over into real life.
What symptoms are produced through fear?
