Here's what you'll learn
Treatment of agoraphobia
You will learn to identify and thoroughly address (resolve) the underlying causes of your agoraphobia. You can do this on your own, from the comfort of your own home.
Causes Treatment
The key to success is addressing the root causes. If we spent as much time addressing the root causes as we do on treating the symptoms, the problem would have been solved long ago.
Agoraphobia core therapy tailored to you
You can only resolve the aspects of agoraphobia that you actually have within yourself.
Thoroughly resolve fears and cognitive patterns
Thorough resolution has many benefits, but once a fear has been thoroughly resolved, it no longer weighs on you. The associated negative cognition or belief is also resolved. There is no need for further repetitions.
Treatment for Agoraphobia
The course covers a wide range of topics, addressing not only the various typical fears and irrational beliefs associated with agoraphobia, but also those related to underlying issues.

Information on Agoraphobia
Definition of Agoraphobia
ICD-10 F40.01 (Internationally recognized codes for medical diagnoses.)
Agoraphobia (Greek: agora (αγορα) = marketplace and phobos (φοβος) = fear), also known as multiple situational phobia, refers to the fear of feeling trapped in a place—usually one with a large number of people—and seeing no easy way to escape.
This phobia is often called “claustrophobia,” a term colloquially used to describe the fear of tight, small, enclosed spaces. However, that is claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces) and not agoraphobia. While the latter can also occur in confined spaces, it is not the confinement itself that is feared, but rather the fear of being unable to escape in an emergency, of not receiving help, or that fleeing would be too embarrassing. It is one of the most common anxiety disorders in Germany and is treatable.
For example, those affected may have difficulty entering supermarkets or stores, or being in crowds or confined spaces, such as movie theaters or public transportation. However, this need not be limited to public places; in severe cases, it can lead to anxiety setting in even within one’s own home, making it impossible to leave. It is also possible for the anxiety to extend to certain types of travel. According to the ICD-10, at least two anxiety triggers from the following list must be present for the condition to be classified as agoraphobia:
1. Crowds
2. Public places
3. Traveling far from home
4. Traveling alone
What all these places or situations have in common is that it takes a great deal of effort to leave them, or that one would receive only limited assistance should the need arise. Thinking about one’s own safety is, of course, not pathological, but in the case of phobias, the fear is usually disproportionately intense and cannot be logically justified or understood. As a result, one constantly worries about one’s own safety and how to escape such situations quickly. All of this also sets off a cycle: out of fear of uncertain situations, appointments or events are planned down to the last detail. The disproportionately intense brooding and worrying is agonizing and, in itself, already anxiety-inducing.
Symptoms
Symptoms of Agoraphobia
Avoiding anxiety-provoking places and situations does not protect those affected from further anxiety attacks. Since these fears stem from the past, they grow increasingly intense if left untreated, leading to the need to avoid more and more situations and places. This avoidance behavior therefore becomes increasingly pronounced and, in extreme cases, can become so severe that those affected can only leave the house when accompanied by someone else. As a result, social contacts become increasingly limited, and most leisure activities are given up. This can lower self-esteem, trigger feelings of guilt toward friends and family, or lead to depressive moods.
Fears always come with a sense of power and control, so that those affected have no choice but to avoid such places and situations. The mind—or rather, the defense mechanisms—takes the lead, and thus the fear eludes conscious control and cannot be dispelled even by rational arguments.
The symptoms are varied and diverse, as every person with a phobia reacts differently to stressful situations. They range from dizziness and nausea to trembling, shortness of breath, palpitations, fainting, and panic attacks. In addition to these physical symptoms, there is often, alongside the fears already listed, a dominant fear of dying.
Due to such physical complaints and symptoms, many affected individuals seek medical help. However, no physical cause can be identified. Yet the fear of having another such episode can quickly return or become a constant companion, which ruins any chance of rest and relaxation. Quality of life is generally severely impaired as a result.
Causes
Causes of Agoraphobia
As is often the case, people prone to anxiety have endured stressful life events and experienced traumatic situations in early childhood. Anxiety disorders such as phobias are displaced fears. This means they are an expression of unresolved conflicts and are projected outward in the form of a phobia; They are projected onto an external, fairly harmless object that, at least objectively speaking, one need not fear and which poses no threat. The displacement itself is no longer conscious, nor is the original conflict. Thus, the forbidden or overwhelming elements of the conflict can remain unconscious, yet are partially acted out as a distorted phobic reaction. Most often, these conflicts arise in childhood, when processing or resolving them would not be possible.
However, those affected have such intense fears of these relatively harmless objects that it can lead to panic. Therefore, they avoid such objects or situations as much as possible. The result is a strong withdrawal, which, however, limits and restricts their own freedom of action.
The true problem of agoraphobia does not lie in public places or in the perception that there are no escape routes there. While a very disruptive fear has indeed formed around this—which we also resolve in our course—the underlying cause is often a disruption in the expression of autonomous impulses. This disruption can arise, for example, when the belief in being dependent on others is stronger than one’s own self-confidence. Or when, for instance, a very strong fear is present that blocks one’s own autonomous impulses. Anyone who runs out of a crowd risks making themselves unpopular. It is also often the case that the wishes and expectations of one’s environment are more important than one’s own. This, in turn, can generate fear or a feeling of being at the mercy of the world, or a sense of powerlessness or helplessness. According to König (“Angst und Persönlichkeit” Göttingen, Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 1981), both overprotection and a lack of support from mothers during early childhood development can contribute to the later onset of agoraphobia.
This avoidance behavior is also often driven by a fear of losing control. In addition, a strong fear of dying is frequently observed. When these two fears are triggered simultaneously, a panic attack may occur (fear of fear leads to panic). Approximately 30 to 50 percent of people with agoraphobia also suffer from a panic disorder. Fears can vary in intensity and thus in their impact. Some experience a panic attack, while others simply feel uncomfortable in such situations.
But whatever the reasons may be, even if we were to present them to you, that knowledge alone would change virtually nothing. For real change to occur, the underlying causes must be resolved. And that is exactly what we do in our course.
We will address and resolve all the fears listed here and many more in our course—without direct confrontation and without delving into the past!
