N2  - Where do phobias come from? From traumatic events, genetic vulnerability or emotional conflicts? This shw examines the phobia- the excexxsive and irrational fear of a situation that poses no real danger. They affect an estimated 20 million Americans and can invade people`s thoughts, restrict their activities and lives. Millions never seek treatment and suffer needlessly. Experiments along with interviews with experts show how new scientific discoveries provide insight as to why some people develop Phobias and others do not. New treatment includes the use of virtual reality, like touching a vitual spider to become less afraid of real ones. Individuals share stories about their phobias, ranging from fear of heights, spiders (Arachonophobia), of public, open places (agoraphobia), public speaking, visiting the dentist, and driving. --(container)
