Fear of feet or
Podophobia & NLP
The phobia of the feet is the situation where you feel angry and upset every time you look at your feet or
whenever you touch it.
It is also a situation in which you feel uncomfortable whenever you find
and hear people discussing about feet. Usually, people suffering from the fear of feet also do not like nor
approve others coming towards and touching your feet.
Although you cannot really explain how you feel, you do know that is not something pleasant. That weird feeling
slowly develops and soon enough you become extremely uncomfortable with the idea of feet hits your head.
The fear of feet is scientifically called Podophobia. This condition can have huge effects
on your life and most of the time, if will make you feel very miserable about yourself and the people around
you.
Having this kind of phobia is not just frustrating on your part; it can also be humiliating at some point as
well. Most of the time, other people who do not understand your phobia can easily make fun of your condition. And
although they find it funny that you are “afraid” of feet, it does not make your situation any less serious.
The first signs of Podophobia are the sudden abnormal behavior of trying to cover your feet with shoes and socks
even when they are not necessary. And sometimes you do it unconsciously, even while you are sleeping. The usual
symptoms of this particular phobia include having problems in breathing, feeling extremely anxious and frightened
and the sight or thought of own or someone else’s feet, excessive sweating, avoidance of situations and
conversations about the feet, as well as increased heart rate.
Having the phobia of the feet is something irrational and has really nothing dangerous in it. But although you
know that there is nothing to be afraid of your feet, you are still unable to escape the condition. The fear keeps
on coming back leading to frequent panic attacks and anxiety.
