Suggest Treatment For Anxiety About Slipping On Shiny Flooring
for the last couple of weeks I have started getting anxious when I go into buildings with shiny floors. I feel like i m slipping or something but haven t been. I have to talk my way through walking sometimes every step which is nerve wracking in a large mall or grocery store. I don t have balance issues ie walking in straight line, closing eyes no swaying or walking stairs. I have been very tired lately with a lot of activities and stress. What could cause this and how can it be fixed?

Hi,
Your problem may be defined as Basophobia or Basiophobia in medical term. The treatment of this type of phobia is like any other phobia. Mainly the treatment consists of psychotherapy involving exposure therapy (Exposing the patient to the source of anxiety) and cognitive behavior therapy (Here the patient learns to challenge and change their unhealthy or unhelpful attitudes, beliefs, thoughts and emotions). Cognitive behavior therapy can lead to enormous improvement in the day to day functioning and quality of life of patient.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
