The Psychology of Fear

In recent years, Coulrophobia, or a fear of clowns, has seen the biggest increase of any acquired fear.

But why do we fear things that have no clear and obvious danger?

Keele's Dr Donna Berry explains the psychology of fear.

1. The feeling of butterflies in your stomach is actually blood being diverted from your stomach/intestines to areas that can help you respond with fight or flight.
2. Two examples of innate fears are death and snakes, whereas an example of a learned fear is clowns.
3. Fear does not spread as widely in people on the Autism spectrum.

The video goes in-depth on fear- its different types, how it's formed, and how to combat it.

How is the fear of snakes innate? If snakes, then why not dogs or spiders?

[anthames]

I thought as babies, humans are only naturally afraid of falling and loud noises

The difference between fear and love is imaginary. When you realise that's an imaginary difference then you can love the kangaroo 🦘 and the terrorist 💥 identically
