You can experience a greater sense of calm and control, that you can use wherever you are and whatever you are doing.

4. Better Relationships and Connections
Phobias can impact your personal and business relationships. Imagine someone in your office freaking out because they saw a mouse. If you know the person concerned, you would want to help. However, if it happens too often, the relationship can become taxing for you both and people may start to shy away from helping you. This can happen at home with family and friends too as the situation may require loved ones to accommodate your fears. However, if you can conquer your phobia, instead of weaking the bonds between you and others, you can strengthen your relationships and create deeper connections with others. They have seen and experienced the old you and now, much more happily they can be with the new you. Your newfound freedom from fear may also allow you to fully engage in more social activities and build better, more meaningful connections without the limitations that your phobia once imposed upon you.
