Now later that day take a walk in the park with lots of trees around. Just walk past and think. Think about things that are going on in life.
Im going to leave the rest to you, I know you can do it though! You have to get over this fear yourself. I helped but you need to do the rest. It's all on you!
Good luck! I hope this helped.
Professional help is not for loony people- it is a resource where you get a confidential opinion and you should not write it off as a no, especially if this is an issue which bothers you and affects your life.
What you should do is go sit outside with a small tree and talk to it. Bring things that comfort you- books, iPod, laptop, and just spend time with a tree. Bring a trusted adult or friend if you need to, at least for the first few sessions. Get as close to it as possible when you feel comfortable and relaxed. Try this exercise once a day, remember to breathe and remind yourself that ALL trees are like the little one that you are sitting next to! All trees ARE the little one. Hope this helps you feel better! :)
Nothings wrong with you! Your scared of old trees because of the dream, the dream wasnt real. I had a disturbing dream about a mirror in the dark when i was little and it really frightened me. In the dream i was walking down the stairs at my old house in the middle of the night and there was a giant mirror off to the right once i got to the bottom and as i was turning to go to the kitchen these hands came out of the mirror and surrounded me and they were trying to grab me and they were hissing, 'evil.... evil...... evil....' ovr n ovr again while they reached for me. I was deathly afraid of mirrors but im better now :) dont worry about it and u definatly dont need professional help
Gradually get close and closer to trees and eventually touch them (noticing that they didn't come out and attack you)
Good job!
That reminds me of poltergeist! Scariest movie ever.
When I was littler like when I was 10 or 9, I had this one nightmare. I dreamt that I was across from my house, (across my house were a line of very creepy and old and ugly trees) so I was there and I saw myself trying to run through the trees to get out of there. The trees started out like acting like trees, not moving and such. Then it started to move, big bloody eyes and arms tried to grab me and eat me. Every tree was like that. Then I was grabbed and eaten. I woke up sweating and scared. I thought it was just a dream but then I noticed from that nightmare on I've been especially afraid of large, or old, or huge trees. And I am afriad to walk across from the trees across my house. I don't know what's wrong with me. I need help, I don't wanna be afraid of trees. Don't tell me to go see psychiatrist cuz I don't want to or don't tell me to seek professional help.
