I have a specific phobia and i want to overcome it. how treatable are specific phobia's?

Very treatable: Cognitive behavioral therapy, or cbt, had been found to be very effective in treatment of specific phobias. It is important to identify a therapist who has specific training in cbt for anxiety disorders.

Phobia tx.: Phobias r usually 1 of 3 types. Social phobia, fear of outdoors, and specific phobias. They are intense fear of something most people would not fear. Treatment is usually cognitive behavioral therapy with or without desensitization. Some times medications are used including ssri's, beta-blockers, and occasionally benzodiazepines. Treatment is usually quite successful in my experience.

CBT for some works: In contrast to other forms of psychotherapy, cognitive therapy is usually more focused on the present, more time-limited, and more problem-solving oriented. In addition, patients learn specific skills that they can use for the rest of their lives. These skills involve identifying distorted thinking, modifying beliefs, relating to others in different ways, and changing behaviors.
