ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the implications and experiences of remote networks of support for and between people with phobias and anxieties. It utilizes to the specific healing potential inculcated in a particular context, in this case one enabled by print, telephone or internet. The National Phobics Society (NPS) serves a client group who experience extreme social and spatial exclusion as a result of debilitating anxiety disorders including phobias, and generalized and specific anxieties. The NPS operates from a base in the Zion Community Resource Centre, in the Hulme district of the city of Manchester in the North of England. The NPS receives an average of 50 calls per day to helplines staffed between 9am and 9pm by volunteer support workers. Telephone helpline services might be considered qualitatively similar in some ways to physically situated self-help groups in their intention to provide social and emotional support through contact with someone experiencing similar difficulties.
