A 49-year-old grandmother who was once a clinical hypnotherapist specialising in phobias has a fear of baths overflowing, causing her to have monthly severe panic attacks and feel as if she is “about to pass out”.
Mother-of-four Darcey Croft, a specialist mental health midwife from Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire, has had the fear since she was four – when she saw her own mother lie in the bath as the ceiling came down, causing the water to overflow.
