Have you ever had to have a phobia treated? What was the phobia, and how was it treated? Were you able to overcome it?

I haven't personally but I have seen others go through a couple of different treatments.

Some treat them simply with anti anxiety or anti depressant meds. Others do it by desensitization-which I would imagine is the best long term.

I never realized that I did not like small spaces until I had to crawl under our house to do some cabling work. I am not sure what happened but it was never like that before in my life that I could remember. I am fine in a close if needed to hide (from a storm) or in a cubicle (where I work) but I will not get under the house anymore.

I do not think I have had anything that has stayed with me since turned of an adult age, but I think I had some as a child. Don't most kids though?
