Fear & Phobias
Case: “Meera and the Fear of Being Alone at Night”
Meera (34) experienced intense fear every time she was home alone after dark. This fear had developed after a stressful event years earlier, though she never connected the two.
Therapeutic Approach:
Through trauma-informed exposure, body-based calming techniques, and reframing her fear narrative, Meera slowly began spending voluntary time alone in safe, supported steps.
Outcome
She regained her independence, slept peacefully, and reported feeling in control of her body and mind for the first time in years.
