We all fear something. Most often, fear performs a protective function: it warns us against careless actions, helps us avoid dangerous situations. But sometimes it slips out of control and takes the form of a phobia, a feeling of constant anxiety, or even a panic attack. Fear can drive us into a dead end, and we don’t even imagine where the way out is—or whether it exists at all. A practicing psychologist—an expert in short-term therapy and a hypnotherapist, creator of the popular podcast “Tea with a Psychologist”—Egor Egorov, will help you make sense of this.
