Cognitions play a crucial role in maintaining phobias by reinforcing irrational beliefs and negative thoughts about the feared object or situation. Individuals with phobias often engage in catastrophic thinking, overestimating the danger and underestimating their ability to cope. Additionally, avoidance behaviors driven by these cognitions prevent them from confronting their fears, leading to a cycle of anxiety and reinforcement of the phobia. This cognitive distortion can hinder effective coping strategies and perpetuate the fear over time.
