I would run in the middle of the road early in the morning rather than running on the path because of potential for webs and spiders.
And I guess that's where that irrationality really comes in, because you recognize that you're actually putting yourself in far more objective danger, trying to avoid
avoid these other things that we can often realise aren't actually dangerous at all.
So our most common phobia presentation would be a fear of flying or public speaking anxiety.
We also see situational phobias like a fear of heights, claustrophobia, um, animal phobias.
Our most common ones would be dogs, spiders and birds.
Um, and then we see some of the medical phobias, so blood injury, injection, and vomit phobias as well.
What's the most unusual phobia you've come across?
We've had a couple of people call up with fear of buttons.
None of them have actually come in for treatment, um, but that's probably one that often is considered quite unusual.
I mean the thing is with phobias and what I find so fascinating about them is we can actually learn that anything is a threat and develop a phobia around it.
All we need is is that sort of negative association and then to continue to avoid it as if it really was that concerning and then we have that phobic cycle develop.
So yeah, really anything and everything is possible.

Yes, I think that's a lot of the early feedback that we got when we opened the clinic is people just had no idea that this would have been considered a a psychological
issue that could be treated.
So a lot of people I think feel like it's just their thing.
They can recognize that everyone has sort of their thing and their phobia is often one of them.
And certainly if it doesn't conflict with our daily life or our greatest desires in life, then we probably won't see the motivation to necessarily do anything about it.
But when that changes and and often that changes at different points in our life where we may be in conflict with these things, that's when we recognise it is a problem.
