I think this is a common thing in therapy against fears; the fear will decrease once the thing you are afraid of becomes more clear/detailed (as opposed to vague.) Like in all thriller/horror movies, the less you see of the "scary creature" (in a dark place, behind other objects blocking your view, etc.) , the more your imagination will process the scary thoughts and amplify things.
