Hi,
Interesting article. I watched something on tv about using virtual reality to overcome phobias. I have acrophobia (fear of heights). I have to say though, that I at first I would be scared of doing the virtual reality thing, but it sounds like it could be helpful. I'm going to talk to my pdoc about it. This article was really helpful to me because I have two major phobias, heights and spiders. One time I found a spider in my car. In an unexpected act of bravery on my part I killed it, but I couldn't get back into the car for the next 2-3 weeks, literally I didn't even go near it. I was just terrified. Thanks for posting the article Robert!
