How can I get over my fear of monsters?

r/

For context, I understand that monsters aren’t real. I know. But whenever it’s night time and I’m in a dark hallway, or I have to turn a corner or open a door, I always get a bit scared that a monster might be there. Recently I took a class where I was shown very disturbing images of burn victims and deglovings and it was extremely traumatic, and those are the “monsters” I see/think are there. It’s gotten so bad that after dark I don’t dare go down stairs where it may be dark. Help…

    Monsters are very real. I don’t say this to scare you. But you should know that they do exist. You’ll likely never come face to face with one.

    I had to face them in my youth. It was then I learned they could be killed. And that’s how I overcame my fear.

    Pretend that they’re your demon slave army coming to serve you. They tirelessly carry out your every command. They flock to you. Your enemies tremble in fear.
