Well that isn't a way to cure a phobia just to accept it, it doesn't work that way.. a big part of this phobia is finding ways to cope with it first, and this guy doesn't seem like he has a clue how to do that. And there are a lot of emets that feel the sameway even though your stomach has been upset many of times and never v* during those times you still can't get your mind to realize that although this doesn't happen to me much anyymore there are times when I feel myself slipping up and getting back into that negative thinking.. I think the reason why things aren't changing for you is cause your therapist doesn't get the phobia or how to treat it. My advice is shop around for a new therapist. I've never tried any other things so I can't help with that but your therapist is obviously not helping you and I'm sure you could find another that would.
