Androphobia is one of the psychological phobia. Androphobia
is defined as being “an abnormal and persistent fear of men. Sufferers
experience anxiety even though they may realize they face no real threat”.
Symptoms vary from person to person, and in level of intensity. They include:
· Extreme
dread of seeing, talking to or meeting men
· Rapid
and/ or irregular breathing
· Feeling
dizzy and breathless
· Sweating
excessively
· Nausea
and upset stomach
· Dry mouth
· Heart
palpitations
· Feeling as if you are going to have an
anxiety or panic attack
· Feeling
as if you are going to pass out
· Being
unable to speak in a normal and coherent way.
It can be extremely debilitating and greatly interfere
with normal daily life.
As with other phobias, the cause is rarely rational, and
may remain a mystery. However, there have been links with being exposed to
traumatic experience, or a specific triggering experience in childhood such as
witnessing your mother being abused (and especially where a child has witnessed
rape). Heredity, genetics, and brain chemistry are thought to also play a role.
It is generally treated in similar ways to other phobias.
CBT, hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) have been used with
some success. Counselling and psychotherapy have also been highly effective.
