In reply to Im afraid of a TREE, posted by portage on July 12, 2005, at 23:06:47
hi portage,
I'm sorry about the anxiety & the tree! My advice would be to approach the tree and go right up close to it so you can beat the irrational fear. Touch the bark, hug it (if you dare!), sit underneath it. This all assumes it's in a safe place to approach - no traffic or anything. Maybe ask your sister to go with you, since she seems to be supportive.Think about the lovely effects of trees - forests, shade, oxygen, birds, etc.
Is this tree near something that upsets you?
Do you think approaching it and touching it might help you get past the fear?
good luck! :)
