Good Morning, and TGIF!

Thank you all for your discussions on the case studies.  Anxiety can effect anyone, and sometimes professionals are the last ones to seek treatment.  Why do you suppose that is?

Carrying on with the anxiety theme, let's take a look at phobias.  What is a phobia?  The Mayo Clinic (2011) defines a phobia as an overwhelming and unreasonable fear of an object or situation that poses little real danger.

What types of phobias are there?  Do some research and post on a certain phobia.  Each one of you must choose a different phobia.  Include the name of the phobia, the fear associated with it, who is affected, and what treatment is helpful.  Include links to case studies if you read any.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you discover!
