Fear of water is limiting because it does not allow us to enjoy the benefits this element can bring to our body and our minds. Not to mention that our body is made up of 60% water, an element that accompanied us 9 months in the bun, so it should be familiar.

What may be the causes of hydrophobia?
One of the most common causes of water discomfort may be a trauma, usually experienced as a child. It is important to look inside yourself and analyze the origin of the fear: when it first appeared and why? Generally, the most common fear is related to the fear of drowning and going into deep waters, perhaps because you once accidentally swallowed some water (in the salty sea or swimming pool), resulting in apnea and a sense of drowning.
