Overcoming Fear v4: The Special Case Files

[StridingStrider]

I have noted that in cases of extreme fear, a person can potentially develop a number of skin issues. The specifics depend on the person, personality, physiology and fear, as well as what part of you is afraid, etc. But it's usually some sort of itchy skin condition. GF gets itchy welts sometimes, for example. For a long time, about 6-8 months ago, we couldn't figure out these welts because nothing helped them... not even maximum strength hydrocortisone cream. But we figured out what was happening when she finally broke through one of her biggest fears and they just magically disappeared almost literally overnight after two weeks of driving her crazy.

So it is a symptom that goes away as the fear is dealt with. You can think of it as your fearful subconscious trying to express its desperation not to face it's fear, and in some cases trying to get you to stop using the program. It's a relatively rare phenomenon, but if you ever get that symptom, it means you're one of those special cases with extra high fear at some level.

I definitely resonate with that Shannon. I used to drive myself crazy thinking of possible negative outcomes as a kid and young adult. This undoubtable made the fears grow into panic attacks. Thankfully I overcome a lot of that with the previous versions.

I've noticed that most of the spots are on my thighs and bladder. I wonder if that's a sign some kind of sexual fear is being worked on, being close to the genitals. In support of that I've also been going shirtless in order to get more vitamin D in me, which I've always shied away from, as I've always been self conscious about attracting attention to myself, especially female attention.

The spots themselves aren't anything major however. Just itchy raised bumps, so it might only be a minor fear right now. Anyway, enough speculation on my end.

Thanks for your insight, and I hope you're recovering well.
