| As someone who breeds arachnids, and who used to have a phobia of them. I can say, exposure is great to get over fears...but for one, starting out small is best. Jumping spiders, letting people see them and all that. Two you dont want to force someone to do something as stressful as a convention full of animals theyre afraid of. Thats counter intuitive and not going to go well. Also forcing someone to get over their fears is not how you go about helping them. They have to be open minded to the idea of exposing themselves to something theyre afraid of...or else its not going to do anything but cause more trauma |
