I mean if you have to wear the same pair of lucky socks in order to get on a flight, and that might be working for you fairly well and it might not be that big of a deal, but at The End Of The Day, what you're telling yourself over and over again is it's the socks that get me through this flight. I'm not able to handle this, and so it over time kind of whittles down your agency, your ability to handle distress and negative experiences, and so that's why safety behaviors are one thing we would work on in therapy.
Ever found yourself sweating at the mere thought of spiders or feeling trapped in a crowded elevator? Phobias are more common than you might think, and they can seriously impact daily life. In this episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon break down the ins and outs of phobias. They chat about how these intense fears develop and share effective treatments, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapies.
But it's not all textbook talk – Jacqueline and Kibby sprinkle in some hilarious and relatable stories from their own lives, making the episode both educational and entertaining. They also touch on unique phobias like the fear of blood and needles, and discuss the pitfalls of avoidance behaviors. If you're curious about how exposure therapy or even virtual reality can help conquer these fears, this episode has got you covered.
Plus, there are handy tips for friends and family on how to support loved ones dealing with phobias. Whether you're looking to understand your own fears better or help someone else, this episode offers valuable insights with a touch of humor.
