Talking about their fears.

Refraining from avoiding situations they find stressful.

Imagining themselves facing their fears (visualization).

Making positive self-statements like, "I will be OK."

I have an extreme phobia of dogs. Ever since I was bitten on the arm by a 150lb great dane, I've feared and hated dogs. Just the sight of a dog

is enough to put me in a panic attack.

I have an extreme fear of snakes. Just thinking of a situation or presence of a snake will normally put

me into a panic attack. Honestly, I think it stemmed from an episode of South Park when I

was little and flipping through the channels, and a cartoon snake swallowed a whole cartoon person,

but I'm not sure if that's quite it

I'm really scared of clowns, the phobia started after a

random dream about a clown trying to kill me, and since they have just freaked me

out.

i. The average age that phobias begin is about 10 years of age.

ii. Estimated at more than 6 million people in the United States who suffer from phobia.

iii. Women tend to be twice as likely to suffer from a phobia compared to men.

iv. Phobias tend to run in families, influenced by culture and parenting style, and triggered by life events.

Now, I know what is phobia actually…
