The psychological platform Rozmova has launched an information campaign “Fears are terrible when they are silent” that encourages people and companies to share their fears. The campaign is timed to coincide with Halloween, which takes place on the night of November 1.

The initiative is based on the idea that one of the most important and at the same time the most difficult moments for achieving inner harmony is understanding and recognizing one's fear. After all, it is impossible to overcome phobias without realizing and talking about them.

"Being aware of your fear and talking through it is a way to re-establish contact with your phobia and with yourself in general. Without this, our psyche will not be able to work with it effectively and adapt". — said Rozmova psychotherapist Nariman Darvishov.

Ukrainian brands supported the idea on social media and shared their fears. 

For example, the taxi service Uklon is afraid when people take coffee without a lid in the car, the online institute Projector is afraid that one day they will wake up and realize that everyone already knows everything, and the Aurora multimarket is confused by the thought that they will lose the opportunity to support their people.

At the same time, bloggers and performers admitted to personal phobias and shared tips to help them overcome the most difficult moments.

"I am afraid of dying during a rocket attack. It really scares me that I might be left with one line in some telegram channel. This fear is felt as a small, small tremor in my chest, says singer Kajanna, at such moments, predictable activities help me. For example, flipping through a book, coloring, drawing, sketching"

The campaign aims to show people that fear is not about zombies, vampires and witches. Fear is something that is always with you, always in your head. And the first step towards relief, though difficult, is always worth taking. 

Rozmova encourages you to share and talk through your concerns. You can share them anonymously and get support at the link.
