Ever since I was a child I always had the fear of rollercoasters, because I believed I would fall out even though the rides were very secure. This fear would bring much anxiety to me whenever I would come near a rollercoaster. Gaylin states in his article that it does not have to be potential danger that brings this anxiety out of me, but anything related to this danger (23). I knew I would most likely be safe during the ride, but I did not want to take any chances. “We can recall, through our incredible memories, the original symbolic sense of vulnerability in childhood and suffer the feelings attached to that” (Gaylin 23). This feeling of anxiety when I come near a rollercoaster derived from my childhood fears and have followed me throughout my adolescent years.
