How to Rid a Phobia
10 years ago
General
Wanted to get that other journal outta the way.
Anyways does anyone out there have any good advice or remedies for conquering a phobia? Like if you ever hang out with me personally or whatever youd know im like EXTREMELY terrified of wasps! Theres just something about them that just creeps me out and sends chills down my spine. Im not allergic to them or anything like that its just an unusual unrational fear I have. I just would like to know if theres any way I can get over this fear I have of wasps because with my job I have to deal with them everyday and it really just hinders me from working normally. So anyone got any advice???
id really really REALLY appreciate anything ^.^;

Repeated exposure perhaps, a bit at a time,
then gradually build up.
I'd say start with wasp posters in your bedroom :)
btw, yes, it SUCKS to get stung.
Whenever I need to trim bushes I always whack
them a few times with a long pole.
Sometimes clouds of them emerge.
and yes it suck to get stung I have stepped on an underground yellow jacket nest before o.o
