Has anyone looked at the "exposure therapy" pictures link?? I actually looked at all of the pictures, (some faster than others...lol) andthey got my heart racing. I am proud that I looked, but now a bit shook up. [img]smileys/smilies_12.gif[/img]
I guess you're supposed to keep looking at them until your anxiety level decreases. Any advice?? Thanks! Charlotte

well yes u have to do exactly that.
u have to keep looking at the FIRST picture until you feel NO anxiety whatsoever and are infct bored of it. then, AND ONLY THEN, can you move on and look at the next picture.

Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn\'t be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn\'t know that so it goes on flying anyway.

Jenneh's right. Follow the instructions carefully, or you risk becoming overwhelmed by anxiety, and the phobia will get worse.
Good luck!
