Logophobia refers to the condition of
having an abnormal, extreme, and persistent fear of words.
There can be many subtle versions of logophobia, such
as: fear of words; fear of Greek words, or difficult-sounding terms; fear
of language itself; fear of the Word (in the Christian sense); fear of
the spoken word; fear of abstractions; fear of truth, order, or any transcendent
reality; fear of giving out one's name.
Extreme fears (phobias) such as logophobia
can lead to a variety of disturbing symptoms such as: Breathlessness;
difficulty in thinking or speaking clearly; dizziness; dry mouth; fear
of dying, "going mad" or losing control; feeling sick; inability
to concentate, inability to make usually-simple decisions, nausea; palpitations,
shaking; sweating profusely; or a severe anxiety attack. Not all sufferers
are affected by all possible symptoms, and some individuals may also have
other reactions.
Even though many adult sufferers of logophobia
(and/or other fears/phobias) are aware that their fears are unreasonable,
many still experience severe anxiety even when just thinking about the
subject or situation they fear.
Alternative forms of treatment that are sometimes found to be beneficial
to sufferers from phobias include hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique
(EFT) or other similar therapies.
