Video Transcription

Recommended treatment for phobias is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which is recommended by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence. And what that involves is thinking about the situations that your phobia might occur in or the objects that you’re phobic of, and over time help you to encounter these situations in a way that feels safe, so that over time, you’re starting to allow your anxiety in that situation to come down.
