It depends what kind of issues you are talking about. I have a dandelion phobia. When I see a large dandelion I get very scared as if it can attack me. I start to sweat, my heart starts pounding and if the large dandelion happens to be very close me me I enter a panic mode. There were occasions when I would wander into a meadow and then cry for my mother (when I was younger) to come and rescue me. I had this ever since I was a child and I don't think this will ever go away. If you have something like that you should not try to fix it first as it may take way too long.

Is the fear of a serious relationship and having children the only issue you are concerned about?
