Hodophobia

The rear of traveling, technically known as hodophobia, has had a crippling effect on Laura [Mandarano]'s life.

Connie slid into the seat beside her father-in-law. "He still gets airsick, huh?" / "Hodophobia. Fear of travel, that's what he calls it."

Earl was shooting blind. "Well, for one, you're a travel writer who is afraid to travel." / Stanton started dabbing his towel against his forehead. "That is a filthy lie. I do not have hodophobia."

She enjoys an international reputation as a specialist in hodophobia (the fear of travelling). She is often quoted in the media and has appeared in national and foreign news- papers and magazines and on radio, television and social media sites.

The good news is that it's possible to work on the fear. "Hodophobia is treatable using a number of evidence-based practices," [Kathleen] Brown says.

So how have they gone from wanderlust to a state of hodophobia and what can new boss Jose Mourinho do to arrest the slide?

A doctor might diagnose hodophobia based on self-assessments combined with in-office questionnaires. They will likely ask you questions about your travels on both a daily and long-term basis, along with the symptoms you experience.
