What is Fear Of Purple?
Defined as "a persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of the color purple", each year, this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress.
To add insult to an already distressing condition, most fear of purple therapies take months or years and sometimes even require the patient to be exposed repeatedly to their fear. We believe that not only is this totally unnecessary, it will often make the condition worse. And it is particularly cruel as fear of purple can be eliminated with the right methods and just 24 hours of commitment by the phobic individual.
Known by a number of names Porphyrophobia and Fear of the Color Purple being the most common, the problem often significantly impacts the quality of life. It can cause panic attacks and keep people apart from loved ones and business associates. Symptoms typically include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and overall feelings of dread, although everyone experiences fear of purple in their own way and may have different symptoms.
Though a variety of potent drugs are often prescribed for fear of purple, side effects and/or withdrawal symptoms can be severe. Moreover, drugs do not "cure" fear of purple or any other phobia. At best they temporarily suppress the symptoms through chemical interaction.
The good news is that the modern, fast, drug-free process we use at The Phobia Clinic will train your mind to feel completely different about the color purple, eliminating the fear so it never haunts you again.
