Phobias may be caused by a particular incident or previous trauma, according to the NHS. But, a simple eye movement exercise could be the key to overcoming your biggest fears. A phobia is a

debilitating fear of a specific animal, feeling, object, place or situation. It tends to become worse over time, and causes an unrealistic sense of danger. People with a phobia may feel

dizzy, lightheaded, and they may have an increased heart rate. But one of the best ways to overcome your fears is to do a quick eye movement exercise. READ MORE: ROYAL PHOBIAS - THE

This process is known as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), according to Harley Street Therapist, Chris Jones. "EMDR - otherwise known as Eye Movement Desensitisation

and Reprocessing - is a form of psychotherapy that is used when a client is recalling a distressing event," he told _Express Health_. "The combination of focusing on traumatic

memories whilst following a set of repeated eye movements, helps the brain to process previously unprocessed memories." Phobias are the most common type of anxiety disorder in the UK. A

fear of spiders, confined spaces, public places, and social situations, are the most common types of phobia. Anybody can develop a fear of something, regardless of their age, gender or

social background. Speak to a doctor if your phobia is affecting your everyday life.
