People often speak of having a phobia of certain things due to an event that has occurred in the past, and in some cases that event was so traumatic that the victims brain has erased that event from memory. I recall thinking “this is ridiculous” until recently I discovered this has happened to me to some extent.
I don’t believe my situation is as extreme as most who experience this. Some of the situations other victims of this condition have experienced are far more savage then my experience.
