how to overcome sensory-based fears? I have big health fears around smelling many foods, candles, incense, and cleaning materials. I fear that by inhaling even the smallest amount I will become ill from it infecting my lungs. rationally, i know that the amounts in inhaling are insignificant but I still can't help my body cringing from smelling those things. my breathing is very shallow as a result and I rarely feel I can get a full breath in, and this only makes my anxiety worse bc it's like an elephant on my chest
