Re: Tv shows with V.
I actually was able to get over my fear of seeing it on any TV show slowly through exposure. I made myself watch with techniques to calm myself down. I can now watch any show except maybe some really gross reality TV or documentary sick with noises and stuff, yeah, that I have unable to watch. Thankfully usually isn't super common and I don't watch much reality TV. Point is, exposure can definitely help for dealing with others being ill in any situation.
