Reply To: Do all fears and phobias have a reasons for existing?

No. You can definitely have a fear or a phobia without having a specific reason behind it. Humans have evolved to have fears of things and people will naturally have fears of different things – it won’t always be rooted in a traumatic event. That type of thinking can cause harm by trying to look for trauma that likely doesn’t exist if it’s just a standard fear or phobia.
