I. A. Beskova Beasts Guard the Treasures: Person and His Fears.

Abstract: The article discusses fears, these beasts of the human interior which sometimes hide in our unconscious from the light of conscious but escape and make us commit thoughtless, ineffective or even self-harming actions, - anything which would help us to avoid a new encounter with them. Fear is usually a reaction to an objective situation when a man has to either flee or attack. But in the modern world fears are more often triggered by the “game of the thought” when an idea or an image goes through your mind – and starts a full fear reaction. Even if the reality does not give actual grounds for such a reaction, it does not relieve us from experiencing difficult and unpleasant emotions.
