I understand exactly how they feel, but I wouldn't call the other woman's fear a phobia. She just seems like she doesn't like them. Now Dr. Jen on the other hand, that's a phobia. That extremely intense fear that you can't, no matter what, control or get over. I have a major phobia with electric and it absolutely controls my life. I hate it. But again, I think people over use the word phobia. They say it when they don't like something or are slightly afraid of something. That's not what a phobia is and they should do their research because that and OCD are being used wrong and out of context and it just makes people look stupid that you don't know the difference or what you're talking about. But anyone with any kind of phobia, I sympathize with you and feel your pain. It's something I wish I could overcome but, currently I don't see an end. But best of luck to anyone who struggles with a phobia or OCD or both. I know it's not easy but we get by. Sorry for the rant, it's just people who use these terms wrong, really bother me.

[@youfrick5146]

I have a couple phobias and people don’t understand that I physically can’t ‘just face it’

[@tango5074]

Exactly! This is the first video of phobia strategy that i have seen someone who reacts to spiders like me. Literally my fear of spiders controls my life. I can only watch videos of snake ones because obviously not spiders lol. I would actually have a panic attack just going into the room and knowing of what's to come.

[@martelljhixson]

@@youfrick5146 it's if that's what you think.

[@gypsyincolortarotofficial2787]

I agree. There are diagnostic criteria for phobias. Everyone is afraid of one thing or another, but a diagnosable phobia is unique and disruptive to a person's life and experience. It is a class of anxiety disorder or obsessive compulsive disorder.

[@oliviam191]

I agree very much! I am like the lady in the white dress...extremely afraid! I probably would have jumped up and ran out the room! I am so extremely scared i could possibly have a heart attack if i had it that close to me. Yesterday while walking on the trails with my dogs I saw one, omg there was an old guy i was walking with and he was the one who saw it and pointed it out. The minute I heard what he said i glanced there to see if it was true. I saw the outline quickly and grabbed the poor old man's jacket and switched places with him so i was further away from the snake then i ran down the hill screaming! My heart was pounding and felt like it was now in my throat and not in my chest. I started sweating and suddenly i was scared of every grassy area around me. Once we got away from there i apologized to him for manhandling him lol 😅. It was like a fight or flight moment for me.😢 It bothers me that I have this intense fear. Im not afraid of any other animal but snakes. Im not even afraid of the snake biting me. It doesnt matter either if its harmless or not,nor if its big,small or tiny. Im afraid of them because of their LOOK! Im afraid of them because of how they look. That long look and I dont understand why😢. I found this video because i came on here looking for videos about how to get over your fear of snakes. Sorry for the long post.

[@rastacraft505]

Dude this is amazing.....I wish there were more videos like this. Fear cripples most humans what if we did this to overcome most fears?

[@MKF30]

That's for sure, mine is anxiety. But while I started speaking to someone for the first time ever last year(it came back hard) been doing better in terms of dealing with attacks the past 5 months, but last week it's affected my swallowing which can happen however rare with anxiety....just my luck. I guess some fears and problems are worse than others.

Hi there, have you gone thru the same thing? How can you help? I've had a few tests since then endoscopy, barium swallow the doctors say physically nothing seems wrong and just acid reflux but I noticed this issue during cofid when I was getting bad anxiety often and would get really bad anxiety when I had to swallow my pill. I chew it with smaller swallow gradually but I can't just take big, consistent swallow with liquids especially anymore.

I know these are genuine phobias but it would be amazing if people were similarly compassionate towards those they label as phobic (hateful). It might actually work towards creating the tolerance they are supposed to be in favour of.

I have had a phobia of driving on the highway for 30 years. I try to get on and get off the next exit, but I just can't do it. The sensations are so intense and overwhelming that I feel like I am going to die or pass out. My brain can't take it and I feel that happening. I have had therapy, group therapy and desensitization with a therapist. None of it works. I want my freedom back and to take control of my life and stop being a burden to my family. I hate this more than anyone could know. Only people with true phobias understand what I'm saying. I wish this guy could help me. Good luck to all of you suffering with a paralyzing phobia that interferes with your daily life. I feel your pain.

I baby-sat a ball python back in high school and he was literally the easiest pet I've ever had! I get why some people are scared of them, and no doubt they're some snakes that you should never own as a pet, but ball pythons are (typically) very easy going and won't bite unless they feel like it's 100% necessary or that you're trying to take their food! Also I'm an animal lover/person so I love all animals except for spiders and most bugs

[@essany]

Amazing

[@Moviefan2k4]

There are very few ways to make me cry or tremble quicker, than to put me anywhere near a snake. I don't go into pet shops, I stay out of the woods...I can't even go to the reptile house at the zoo. I tried watching "Raiders of the Lost Ark" maybe a week ago...and did mostly okay until the Well of Souls sequence. Then, I lost it. I don't even like rubber snakes, or CGI ones either. The last time I touched a rubber snake, I was tempted to throw it on the ground inside the Wal-Mart, and stomp on it while screaming. Interestingly enough, I love the "Harry Potter" films...but the scenes with snakes I'm like "Nnnoooooo..."

[@JohnDoe-dq7kn]

Moviefan2k4 I suggest you watch someone called Brian barzcyk :)

[@NthSyd747]

That chap is way too much of Infomercial Showman type. He ought to be exploring what the concerns are surrounding the snake phobia. He has escalated these two women far too quickly. Actually having a snake thrust upon you so quickly is quite cruel. I would have quite happily smacked him one across the mouth and I’m not a violent or aggressive person. He is way too pushy causing increased anxiety. His method may work in some scenarios but I would suspect many backfire or do not have long lasting results. How dare he ‘so what’ when she expressed fear over the snake turning its head towards her. That in and of itself needs time and explanation to desensitise. Not a fan of his ‘used car salesman’ technique.

[@callumdoyle2200]

This is how you get a person over a phobia he wasn’t just torturing her he was gradually pushing the boundary and looking how she responded and figuring out how to get past it , you have to do that to find what they’re emotional state is at the time figure out how much they can take and when you get to that point change up the thought process. Eventually through this they’ll learn to develop these patterns on their own , they encounter fear oh what do I do next? Think why am I do this to feel in control I need to control that fear as opposed to having the old pathway, snake , oh my god what do I do , runaway.

[@callumdoyle2200]

It’s not a car salesman technique either , the things he was using, for example the way she was sitting how her body posture was influencing her emotional state there’s real scientific backing on that , the methods he took to preventing regression perfect 👌 You only saw what you wanted to see , and your also projecting.
