Constant reassurance will only make it worse. The worse thing you can do is to stroke him, talk to him, or try to console him when he displays these behaviors.
If you have been babying him or trying to make him "feel better" about something he is afraid of, it may very well be the reason why his fear is getting worse and encompasses so many things.
I just pm'd you back, so let me know what you want to do.
