What is fear?:

Fear is an emotion that can be recognized through a series of physiological and psychological changes. These changes are related to the autonomic nervous system and endocrine.

Fear is considered to be a feeling produced by a present and imminent danger. It is an emotional signal warning of approaching a physical or psychological harm. Fear also implies insecurity about one's ability to support or manage a threatening situation.

It is therefore an organic system of survival, a tool for self-protection to dangerous stimuli and adaptive to medio.Cuando fear of certain objects, situations or events is too intense, disproportionate, persistent, and it is irrational, we can speak of a phobia, and specifically in the case of fear of water, we could talk a phobia.

What is a specific phobia?

When the phobia develops in relation to an object or situation is called a specific phobia. These can be classified into four groups according to the object fobígeno:

• A animals.
  
• the environment, heights (vertigo) water, lightning.
  
• A blood, injections or injury. Situational
  
• such as indoors, driving, flying, through tunnels, elevators, escalators, etc.

In the case of specific phobias is very difficult to determine the frequency rates because even today people thinking that supports these conditions have no solution or do not deserve to be treated. However, clinical practice indicates that it is a disorder that affects a large percentage of the population.

Although fear is recognized by the subject as irrational, control will escape. Exposure to object causes almost invariably anxiety. In order to avoid anxiety, you see a behavior characterized by avoidance of the feared stimulus or situation.

When there is the perception of danger triggers a series of effects on the person with the phobia, the most important are shown in the table below.

root causes of fear of water:

Calamia (1993) grouped into two aspects that could be considered as the root causes of fear of water:

• The subject has received an education hydrophobic, without having an aquatic experience. This is usually due to the adult projects his own fear about the child integrating it into its operating system. In this case, fear is a product of the educational track, the subject performs a ansiogenic irrational thoughts in relation to the aquatic environment.
  
• The subject has memorized one or more aquatic situations caused by a stressful emotional shock such as the start of a drowning or submersion caused. In this case the fear resulting from trauma experienced by inappropriate teaching practices. This can lead to the contact of a subject with water, or the mere thought of this contact causes reminiscent disturbs their emotional homeostasis (internal self-regulatory mechanism of the body). The alteration of the subject from its environment alters or destroys the processes by which acquires information about this environment and made with the aim to adjust their behavior.

my point of view, as a professional teacher of swimming, the cause of traumatic origin is not as prevalent as the educational background. These latter cases are given in adults and children first.

According to Dr. Jimenez Planas (child psychotherapist), fear of water is the most common, but it can occur, although in fact it is a fear of the unknown, which may have under the surface, or is caused by the movement of waves. "Sometimes, what's scary is not directly the water, but the existence of fish or monsters that can come out and bite it. On other occasions it may be that panic phobia is drowned by a story that the boy has seen ear, or simply imagined or dreamed, "he adds. In any case, the "respect" the sea and swimming pools should never disappear into the child. A very different is that it gives rise to a fear that will incapacitate the boy to enjoy a swim, a situation is indeed alarming.

Treatment:

According to experts, the first standard to help a kid to overcome such fears is not to force that address directly, because we could cause more fear. For Jimenez Planas, "the key to everything is to demonstrate and convey the child the feeling that we are with him, that we do not feel frightened and play and enjoy.

In this way, you can get to calm down. On the contrary If your fear distress to adults who are close, a baby can understand that also gives them the greatest fear, and possibly it will go into panic. "

For this reason, this ensures professional that it is best presented as "role models" and, quietly, patiently, providing security. "Let the water rises to a height of the child's body normally does not tolerate, let alone even slowly, always under professional supervision, so that fear go away." Another method to prevent a child feels fear of water is encouraged to attend with him to workshops organized by the pool all year round.

When phobias interfere with a person's life, treatment can help. There are three types of psychological therapies

to meet fear of water:

Exposure therapy:
This type of therapy has demonstrated a high rate of effectiveness in the treatment of phobias especiíficas.Expuesta pioneered by Joseph Wolpe in South Africa a decade of 50, is to desensitize the patient of the stimulus that causes the phobia. To do so exposes the patient to physically phobic object in a controlled, gradual and progressive, teaching the patient to lose their fear. The patient will have total control over such techniques is accompanied exposición.Generalmente control of anxiety and / or eagerly.

systematic desensitization:
is a technique similar to the previous one, with the difference that is not used directly or natural exposure to the phobia, but it is imaginary.

Cognitive Therapy:
Cognitive therapy is a process which tries to solve the problem based on experiences phobic learning or reeducation of the patient thought to act in a more realistic eliminating false beliefs. The patient, with the help and collaboration of the therapist, learn to identify and modify thoughts and ideas that do suffer.

Such treatment may introduce other techniques for modifying the conducata, which are shown in the following table:

These are some of the treatments most widely known and tested in the treatment of simple phobias. It should be borne in mind however, that these disorders may come associated with other problems, which also require an approach in the context of an integrated and properly articulated. The treatment, in fact, it is not the phobia, but the person who has it in conjunction, of course, with demand usually develop treatments efectúa.Los individually, although some occasionally, depending on the case and time is indicated the treatment group, or participation of a companion. Treatments usually last between three and six meses.No there so far proven treatment with drugs for specific phobias, but sometimes certain medications may be prescribed to help reduce anxiety symptoms before the person is faced with a phobic situation.

NOTE
However, you can not, nor should self-diagnose. Only a skilled health professional is able to do so with rigor and fiabilidad.Cuando a person is worried about his health and normality is usually identified with symptoms or diseases not have, or be confused with other posibles.Si doubt check first with their general practitioner or family, he will guide you in this regard.
