Have you worked it therapy as to what the actual cause of this fear is? Fear doesnt JUST HAPPEN. There is usually an event (s) or preceived events (as watching something that scared you) that creates fear in our minds. Getting to pinpoint what that WAS can help to process & overcome the fear. Not always easy if it happened in very young childhood but definitely something worth looking into.

It has been interesting for me trying to look back & find causes but in my case it was why i felt pushed away from my parents rather than closer.

Every fear has a history.
