 Phobophobia comes in between the stress the patient might be experiencing and the phobia that the patient has developed as well as the effects on his/her life, or in other words, it is a bridge between anxiety/panic the patient might be experiencing and the type of phobia he/she fears, creating an intense and extreme predisposition to the feared phobia.Nevertheless, phobophobia is not necessarily developed as part of other phobias, but can be an important factor for maintaining them.Phobophobia differentiates itself from other kinds of phobias by the fact that there is no environmental stimulus per se, but rather internal dreadful sensations similar to psychological symptoms of panic attacks.
