How to curb cheating the fear system in Paralysis: Remastered

So, I realized that there are a lot of ways to cheat the fear system in Paralysis: Remastered. So I need some help to fix these problems: 

1: During the initial fear choosing sequence, players can simply throw a fear out their inventory and then pick a different fear. Then they can pick the thrown fear to get both phobic relics. 

2: Similar: When using the totem of Novu'tim, players can simply throw their phobic relic out of their inventory to avoid losing it.
