Hi,
I just some of the other posts in this thread. I would like to make some other points, based on my experience:
1. You do not need to know why the phobia became established to cure it. It might satisfy your curiosity to know, but it is completely irrelevant to curing yourself.
2. You do not need a professional to guide you through your cure - you can easily do it entirely by yourself.
3. I also tried hypnosis - it was expensive and completely useless.
Best regards,
K.L.
