Janet (name changed for privacy) attended my clinic to gain relief from an intense fear of snakes.
So intense was her phobia that Janet could not even bear to look at a picture of a snake and just the mention of the word “snake” would send her into fear mode with goose bumps.
What was interesting about Janet’s case was that she was visiting Perth from New Zealand which, to the best of my knowledge is snake free so my curiosity was aroused as to what could have caused such an intense emotional response.
