Many people have a fear of forests but there are ways and means of reducing your related anxiety:-
Knowledge and understanding can help reduce fear. Educate yourself about forests by learning about their natural features, ecosystems, and the benefits they provide to the environment. Understanding the facts about forests can help dispel myths or misconceptions that may be contributing to your fear.
Gradual exposure: Gradual exposure to forests in a controlled and safe manner can help desensitize you to your fear. Start with less intimidating forested areas or parks, and gradually work your way up to denser or more remote forested areas. Take small steps, and progress at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Challenge and reframe negative thoughts: Identify and challenge any negative thoughts or beliefs you may have about forests. Are they based on facts or irrational fears? Reframe them into more balanced and realistic thoughts. For example, instead of thinking "Forests are dangerous and scary," you can reframe it to "Forests are natural environments with their own beauty and benefits."
