Until you live with a phobia, and it’s very difficult to appreciate just how debilitating and terrifying specific phobia can be on an individual’s quality of life.

This suggests that you are remarkable learner. But also probably have an overactive imagination when it comes to your specific phobia. Don’t feel foolish. Phobias are extremely common, and often developed during childhood and get worse as we get older when left untreated.

But because specific phobias are so obviously present, such as when your heart pounds and you feel so powerless and terrorised, it is rather clear to people and their therapists when change occurs. In other words, specific phobia treatment is a lot less complicated in most cases than say, treatment of general anxiety disorder or major depressive illness.
