Guidance: Hello. Myctophobia (fear of darkness) and claustrophobia(fear of tight spaces) are both conditions that may respond well to cognitive behavioral therapy. Check out a provider in your area. Take care.

VRT for Phobias: Phobias and anxieties respond well to Virtual Reality Therapy(VRT). VRT is exposure therapy in a safe environment. The research suggests VRT is 90% effective. Seek out a therapist who uses VRT in your area. You can find providers through www.psious.com, www.limbix.com, or www.virtuallybetter.com.
