They had a special on tv in 2008 about beating phobias with systematic desensitization. They said it was a gradual process that tries to help you overcome things and slowly makes you immune to this fear. They could possibly expose you to the fear or a situation where this might take place. They said slowly try to regulate your breathing and heart rate until the fear is lowered or even gone. Many people under go this therapy and it seems to help them.
I chose this topic because it interesting to see how people can almost be trained in their way of thinking. Someone could be paralized by fear and with this treatment be totally normal later on. It relates to the book by teaching people to relax when faced with their fears and it can change their lives. It is in chapter 15, section 4 under behavioral therapy and classical conditioning.
Ya I'v seen a couple shows where people express phobias over the dummest things that I see in everyday life.Never really understood how they could bother a person so much.I guess anythings possible.
