FEAR

False
Expectations
Assumed
Real

And yet when fear grips you, you often have no way out by yourself.  You need an external source to change your reality to be out.  The worst part is that the fears  are often associated with circumstances and stuff that it easily becomes a phobia.

Consciously you know it's a false expectation but unconsciously your are gripped in paralysis.  I am afraid your unconscious mind has the greater control - overriding control in fact.  It's job is to protect you  - survival is the main machinery here.  Fear protects you from the predator - real or imagined!

I suggest hypnosis.
