Fear of what lurks within...
Fearing the unknown depths of the sea or any other body of water is something that a lot of people have. This is not surprising, especially for those who don’t know how to swim. But do you know that there’s actually a name for such fear? It’s called Thalassophobia and it is described as persistent fear of large bodies of water and whatever that is lurking within their depths.
Now some people are not even aware that they have this condition. So how do you know you have Thalassophobia? It’s certainly more than just being afraid of swimming in the deep. Here are some signs that you are afflicted with this phobia.
It’s important to note that thalassophobia is different from the fear of water itself, which is called aquaphobia. People who suffer from extreme thalassophobia will sweat, shake, and vomit when confronted with large bodies of water. Just like all phobias, it’s possible to control this fear with the help of psychologists and hypnotists.
The fear of the sea is actually understandable, according to Marc Carlin, a hypnotist who uses cognitive therapy techniques and hypnotherapy to help people overcome their fears and phobias. He said:
“In context [a fear of the sea] is not irrational. It’s primal.
“We all have this fear of darkness because we can’t see and we rely on our vision to protect us. If you shut your eyes and you can’t see, now you have to rely on senses that you don’t normally rely upon.”
