How do you get over being afraid of storms? My family and i went through a tornado on february 5, 2008 and we was inside the trailer, it lifted us up and dropped us and flipped us over my mom had a cuncosion, i woke up outside and my little brother was fine. ever since that day i have had backflashes and always freak out when a storm comes.

Best Answer

Systematic desentiation. In other words, when a storm comes put out your brave face, go outside, and subject yourself to it. Also, try to associate storms with good things, like the fact that without them, you wouldn%26#039;t have water or flowers. Enough of this, and you should be back to normal in no time.

• i used to be afraid of storms too but i got over my fear by watching videos of tornados and when storms came i would go over to my window and watch them. and i would also look at the rainbows that would usally come after the rain. now i love storms and the sound of thunder crashing and rain pounding. i also like the way lightning alluminates the sky. i also think that tornados are intresting now and i am not afraid when one comes along.
• try watching a bunch of videos of storms to desensitize you. you will probably stp having flashbacks.
