Free me from fear, let's work with my fears! Such requests sooner or later occur in the practice of every psychotherapist . Parents especially often come to the consultation with such wishes. They are worried that the preschooler is afraid of the dark , heights, dogs... If they are simply worried, OK, but sometimes they shame.
I work with adults and I do not work with children. But in this case, a short conversation with an adult is quite enough. After all, wanting a child not to be afraid means wanting the child's development NOT to be normal. Being afraid of the dark, a stranger, heights is quite normal , these fears stand guard, protect the child at the stage when he gets a little more freedom and his mother (grandmother, nanny) does not control his every step. There is no pathology, on the contrary, it is a developmental pattern.
