Erica：我今年20岁，一直以来都感到害怕，不仅仅是害怕黑暗，除非身边有安全的人。搬到新家后，这种恐惧更加严重，晚上难以入睡，经常听到奇怪的声音，甚至感觉有东西在床上。我知道这听起来很疯狂，但我无法控制这种恐惧感，为此感到羞耻，但我知道我需要帮助，我渴望摆脱这种状态，我想要变得勇敢和独立，不再被这些无端的恐惧所困扰。我希望能够安心地生活在新家里，不再害怕黑暗和那些想象中的事物。 Dr. Kenner：Erica，首先很高兴你联系了我，这是非常重要的一步。像你这样的恐惧症在成年人中很常见，而且是完全可以克服的。你的恐惧可能源于过去的创伤经历，我建议你接受治疗，找出恐惧的根源。同时，你可以尝试认知疗法，学习如何理性地看待事物，挑战你的恐惧。我小时候也有过类似的恐惧，但我通过直面恐惧、改变思维方式成功克服了它们。你也可以做到，要相信自己有能力战胜恐惧，过上自由的生活。不要害怕寻求帮助，这是勇敢的表现，也是对自己负责任的态度。
