Need to know: What have you tried? If you find a good CBT therapist who says they've worked w/ this phobia, it will almost certainly work! It's a common problem and you might also work on other issues that have troubled you. It takes a bit of effort and time, but it's worth it!

CBT: Seek a cognitive-behavioral therapist who specializes in phobias. One method they use is systematic desensitization which slowly and incrementally brings the person closer and closer to the thing they are afraid of in slow, graduated steps that help make the anxiety more tolerable.
