Fears & Phobias

Fears & Phobias Workbook
Understand fear, reduce avoidance, and gently regain confidence — without forcing exposure or minimising how real it feels.
 
Product Description
 
Fears & Phobias is a therapist-designed self-help workbook created to support adults who feel restricted, overwhelmed, or controlled by specific fears or phobias.
Fear is a natural survival response — but when it becomes persistent, disproportionate, or limiting, it can shrink daily life and increase avoidance, anxiety, and self-doubt. Phobias often feel irrational after the fact, yet completely overwhelming in the moment.
 
This workbook offers a calm, structured space to help you understand how fear works, recognise what maintains it, and learn practical ways to respond differently — at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
 
Designed by experienced UK therapists, this workbook blends CBT-informed psychology, behavioural understanding, and emotional regulation tools to help you reduce avoidance, increase confidence, and gently expand your comfort zone.
This is not about forcing yourself to “just face it”.

It’s about working with fear instead of being ruled by it.
 
What This Workbook Helps With
 
This workbook is especially helpful if you:
 
Experience specific fears or phobias (e.g. travel, heights, animals, needles, enclosed spaces)
Avoid situations to prevent anxiety
Feel embarrassed or frustrated by your fear
Experience panic or intense anxiety when triggered
Want to regain independence and confidence
Have tried to “push through” without success
Want a structured, compassionate approach
 
If fear is quietly dictating what you do or don’t do, this workbook helps you take back control gradually.
