Psychologists admonish people to face their fears

A coalition of psychologists opened the exercise with the people of Yaounde, last Friday at Mvog-Mbi. Psychologists, psychiatrists and other psychotherapists were spread there with a precise objective to demystify psychology, by putting it at the range of a greater number of people and organizations.

Also the work, placed on the topic "psychology in the heart of our lives, a business of all", was opened to the public.

Our time is effective to manufacture discomfort such as fear of unemployment, failure, exclusion, aggressions, diseases like AIDS and cancer, divorce, to grow bigger, die unmarried, not to have a child etc.

Our anxieties today have several faces, even most above suspicion. The paradox of a society which has for a long time escaped the questions of wellbeing and whose inhabitants are caught up with today by anxiety.

"The state of anguish of our society is explained by the shift between our fantasmatic waitings and reality. Scientific progress, technical, the projections of rights had made us believe that we went towards an increasingly harmonious society, without conflicts, that it would be possible for us to control our destinies.

However, with intrusions such as those of the Islamist sect Boko Haram or Central African rebels on our territory, the natural disasters make us discover that we lived a long time in a skeptic world, anaesthetized.", explained one of the exhibitors.

With the participants, the advisability was given to each one to speak about his anxiety and of probing his fears.
