Looking for a word

Hi, I'm looking for a word that I need to use in an assignment but I forgot what it is.

All I know is the definition and it's something like this:

The constant need/urge to confront one's fear.

Any help would be appreciated.

Alright I found the word (I'm the original poster), for anyone else who wishes to know it's called "counterphobia".

Dang! I debated checking the phobias, but decided you were talking about a compulsion.

Sorry.
