Savio's Notes on this Specific Phobia
Definitely another weird phobia. Does not affect many people in America and is not a threat in any way. As long as the fear of sitting remains just that, there remains very little to worry about. Just got to stand more & sleep often!!

This type of phobia is generally caused by certain personality disorders or mental traits. Affects few people and generally women.

Phobia Treatment & Prevention according to Savio
Learn to stand for long hours & sleep for long hours. Nothing else matters. This phobia is closely related to another phobia thats related to fear of chairs so avoiding chairs altogether is a good option.
