Why do you fear your feet?

No one knows what causes podophobia; one possibility is that the person was traumatized at a very young age, and somehow associated that trauma with feet.

People with a foot phobia don't like to touch feet, or even see feet (theirs or others). They often feel uncomfortable even discussing feet and foot-related topics such as shoes. Often their social stigma has led them to withdraw from friendships and relationships.

The first step toward dealing with a life-crippling phobia such as this one is to find the courage to discuss this with your doctor, who should be able to recommend a psychiatrist or psychologist who specializes in dealing with phobias.
