Application of EMDR therapy in treatment of fear for an adult, caused  by traumatic experience during childhood:  Case report

Fear is an intense, negative, and unpleasant feeling that a person experiences when meeting a real or unreal, or nonexistent danger. Fear is the primary and innate, genetically programmed reaction to painful or threatening stimuli. In acceptable boundaries, fear similar to pain is intended to protect the body. It mobilizes the whole body towards its source, raising the level of alertness and readiness to protect itself, excluding less important stimuli at that moment.
