      Yeah I hate the way people talk about this Actual exposure therapy relies on gradual, voluntary escalation of exposure If I just randomly expose you to the source of the phobia at full force I strengthen ithttps://twitter.com/AlexandraErin/status/1386080212753043459 …

      One thing I like about the Truman Show is that they show how Truman's phobia of boats is deliberately maintained in part by regularly confronting him with them, because you can't "treat" a phobia by forcing someone into triggering situations.

      The way people think phobias develop is so condescending Most people who have phobias of, say, dogs, didn't get them from being spoiled sheltered children who never even saw a dog until adulthood but heard scary stories about them

      It's the exact opposite - it's a pattern established by *actually being attacked by angry dogs* often enough for you to become familiar with that fear

          Actual exposure therapy relies on anticipation and control "Okay so here's the button, it plays audio of a barking dog when you push it, here's the slider to turn the volume up or down, whenever you're ready" It RELIES ON THE CONCEPT OF A TRIGGER WARNING

          Giving you findings conscious awareness and control of your exposure to the trigger is how you gain resilience against it Doing the opposite - putting you in an environment where exposure is random, unpredictable and nonconsensual - *strengthens the trigger*

          It's *where the trigger originally came from* A phobia of dogs happens when some kid gets an aggressive barking dog exposed to them out of the blue, then has it *keep on happening* and gets told to just deal with it

          Like in the Truman Show If I wanted to use guard dogs to control someone's behavior and keep them afraid for their whole life, I would *make sure* they are regularly confronted by barking dogs so the trigger never fades And make sure it was unexpected, at random intervals

          Both the fear and the experience of being attacked by angry dogs, 0/10 would not recommend

          So so true. I’ve been working with my therapist on some of this and some of it we’re slowly getting somewhere but other things I literally can’t even say the word without having a visceral physical reaction. So she said “ok we’ll not talk about that”

          I'm terrified of most dogs. I was attacked twice and bitten twice, once at age five or six and once at age eleven. I had to go to the hospital for the second one.

          This is literally the reason I have a phobia with snakes...attacked by venomous snakes no less than half a dozen times. Cottonmouths and diamondbacks are very aggressive.

          The missus has a deep irrational fear of palmetto bugs--generalized to roaches overall--and over the years I got her fine with all other bugs and spiders and recently thanks to @tea_francis and her lovely little emerald babies I asked her if she wanted to see for a week til a yes

          I have my monitor on a lazy susan and absolute rule that she says turn, I turn instantly, so I show her the little jewel baby trundling around on Tea's fingers, and then turn it back. Ask her now and then and remind her she has control, and she's WAY better than ever before.
