Specific Phobias
			Specific phobias used to be called simple phobias, but, because some were not so simple, the reference was amended. Specific phobias include phobias that are limited to a specific thing or event. Examples would be a fear of spiders, or heights. Fear of flying or driving are both specific phobias.  Often I treat these phobias in conjunction with some other phobia that is more problematic, but not always. I have treated people for fear of: Bees Birds Blood Cockroaches Dogs Needles Snakes Toads Driving Fire works (watching, not using) Flying Heights (edges) Horseback riding Random things falling from the sky (yep, it happened) Storms Thunder While this list is not exhaustive, it is representative of most specific things people fear. If you have a phobia and it is causing you problems, give me a call. I can usually give you an estimate of how long it might take to get you past it.
