Claustrophobia is a common problem for many people. Sometimes it is linked to a traumatic experience in the past (if you cannot easily recall it consciously, then it probably isn’t) and sometimes it is a stress response to specific situations.
In otherwise mentally healthy adults, claustrophobia can usually be effectively treated in 1-3 sessions.

Summary: A TEDx talk by a speaker who describes a career as a rocket scientist and then turns to overcoming fear. The speaker sets out three decisions: name and reject the fear, reprogram the brain with different thoughts, and take action in direct opposition to the fear. The talk also claims that fear switches off the frontal lobes. It is not Andy’s own talk.
