Phobia – National Geographic TV documentary series from 2002 following the progress of people undergoing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for their various phobias.Gephyrophobia (2002)Jennifer McQuaid’s fear of bridges is overcome after intensive cognitive therapy.About the series:Imagine if every thunderstorm sent you into a desperate state of panic.What if you couldn’t force yourself into your car to drive across town or across a bridge? If the very sight of a spider, a snake, or even a clown at a child’s birthday party overwhelmed you with fear? For the millions of people who suffer from phobias, the ordinary can become unbearable. Phobias may arise from childhood psychological trauma, abnormalities in the structure of the brain, and even human evolution. Phobia looks at the difference between normal fears and phobias. Experts discuss why some people relish a good scare while others are overwhelmed with panic. The episodes feature “antiphobes,” people who relish situations that would be terrifying for phobics. Many of these people are workers who regularly face danger on the job, such as firefighters, high-rise construction workers, scientists who study snakes and spiders, and a photographer who specializes in recording lightning. Also included are harrowing tales from people who have survived situations that would terrify anyone, phobic or not: victims of collapsed buildings, lightning strikes, plane crashes, and venomous snake and spider bites.
