Spectrophobia:- fear of looking in a mirror
Looking into a mirror to see our own
reflection is something that each of us do several times each day. Whether
gazing at our own appearance was intended or not, it happens constantly and
almost entirely randomly as there are reflective surfaces all around us.
Spectrophobia is a severe fear of mirrors or of reflections, usually of
themselves. This phobia may also include an extreme fear of ghosts or spirits.
Causes of Spectrophobia:
Causes behind spectrophobia depend on the
specific fear that the phobia relates to. If a person is suffering from an
abnormal fear of mirrors or their own personal reflection, there is likely a
underlying fear of self knowledge. These people may be afraid to see what they
look like for fear of personal criticism or another fear of exhibitionism.
Sympptoms of Spectrophobia:
v In both cases, sufferers will experience symptoms similar to
those that accompany situations of extreme anxiety or panic attacks. A person
may feel nauseous or dizzy in stressful situations and be unable to think
clearly or even formulate words. Their heart rate will also increase, as will
their blood pressure, and they may even desire to, or actually flee, the
stressful situation. Luckily, many therapy methods have had proven success in
treating spectrophobia.
v If spectrophobia is starting to negatively impact your personal
life and relationships, it may be time to seek out professional treatment
options. A positive internal motivation for change is the most useful tool in
overcoming your fear and it is never too late to begin treatment.
