Counseling: Would start with a counselor to get to the root of your fear. If working with a counselor isn't enough, you may want to meet with your doctor to see if there are any health factors involved in your concerns.

CBT for some works: In contrast to other forms of psychotherapy, cognitive therapy is usually more focused on the present, more time-limited, and more problem-solving oriented. In addition, patients learn specific skills that they can use for the rest of their lives. These skills involve identifying distorted thinking, modifying beliefs, relating to others in different ways, and changing behaviors.
