Overcoming Claustrophobia – The Meaden Method Way

Claustrophobia is more than just a fear of small spaces; it's a complex anxiety disorder that can have a profound impact on a person's life. People with claustrophobia often feel intense fear in enclosed spaces such as lifts, aeroplanes, crowded rooms or cars in traffic.

Claustrophobia is often a learned response rather than something you were born with, which is why it can change. A past frightening experience of feeling trapped or confined can lead someone to treat enclosed spaces as a threat.

Physical symptoms can range from sweating, trembling and heart palpitations to full-blown panic attacks. The fear can lead to feelings of helplessness, embarrassment or a sense of losing control. Many people also go to great lengths to avoid situations where they might feel trapped or confined.
